Shania Twain Just Announced Her First Album In 14 Years, And That Does Impress Us Much
She's still the one.
Think back, for a moment, to November of 1997. What were you doing?
Actually, don’t bother, because I already know – you were putting on your sister’s rhinestone jeans and a black cowboy hat you found in the back shed to dance to Shania Twain’s album Come On Over. Just me? Yeah, whatever mates.
Now, 14 years after the release of her last album, Canada’s country hero has announced that she has a new record on the way. The LP – which doesn’t have a title yet – is due out in September, with its lead single ‘Life’s About To Get Good’ set to arrive in June.
As Twain tells it, it’s a song about moving past negativity. “I’m not in the mood to write a ‘feeling-sorry-for-myself’ song,” she said in a statement about the track. “You can’t have the good without the bad. And that’s what the song ended up being about.”
Shania Twain’s breakthrough LP Come On Over sold over 40 million copies worldwide – it’s still the highest selling album ever by a Canadian artist (sorry, Drake) – spawning 12 singles, including ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’, ‘Man, I Feel Like A Woman’, and ‘You’re Still The One’.
Oh, and did we mention ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’?
