Shania Twain

Shania Twain is embracing herself at this point in her life and her career with her new album 'Queen of Me.'

The Queen of Me title for the album couldn’t be more fitting for where I’m at in my own mind.” For Twain, putting this album together during the pandemic helped her get through a difficult time — and have some fun in the process. Grammy-winning country star Shania Twain has spent much of the past decade extending her legacy built in the 1990s and early 2000s, returning in 2017 with Now, her first new album since her 2002 Diamond-certified LP Up!.

Shania Twain Feels Like A New Woman On 'Queen of Me'. The carefree feel of her Nineties dominance may be gone, but the country-pop legend still knows how to ...

“Got It Good” has a touch of the old maximalist Twain energy, but it’s underpinned by a sleek disco beat out of Kylie Minogue’s Fever era and ABBA-style vocal harmonies. It’s a grounding moment on the heels of a fortifying pep talk. “Giddy Up” has a touch of Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” in its rhythmic swagger, “Waking Up Dreaming” wanders a bit too close to Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” (and Toni Basil’s “ Mickey” by extension), and there’s a sense of allegiance to the moment when Swift’s 1989 and Dev Hynes’ assorted productions were everywhere, all soft synth pads and ghostly vocal samples. “You’re such a fuckin’ liar,” she sings, sweetness flecked with acid. In “Brand New,” she emerges from a relationship with a clean slate and fresh perspective. And though there are a few subtle nods to that imperial phase of her career, Queen of Me doesn’t concern itself too much with her former dominance.

They tied the knot in December 1993 and later welcomed a son, Eja, in August 2001. After working as a singer at a local resort, Twain landed her first record deal, and in April 1993, she released her self-titled debut album.

Shania Twain, the best-selling female country artist ever, delivers Queen of Me, the follow-up to 2017's Now. Holly Smith reviews.

It’s about the excitement of a Shania reborn, or as she says on ‘Brand New’, “you’ll always be the same old you but I’m a brand new me”. Shania made her name as a crossover artist, and it’s fair to say that, at least on this album, she is standing quite firmly on one side of the pop-country line. When Shania stops singing midway through to say “get the lights”, you’ll find yourself instantly taken back to the “okay, so you’re a rocket scientist” of ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’. Though, of course, as Shania holds the record of being the best-selling female country artist of all time, it’s a matter of opinion on who inspired who. Despite some rather on-the-nose lyrics (“I’m not a girl, I’m not a boy, I’m not a baby, I’m not a toy, I’m a queen” on the album’s title track, for instance), it translates to an infectious euphoria that makes you want to cheer her on – and maybe even share this tape with your friends.

Shania Twain is living her own kind of '90s renaissance and it's wildly contagious. Is it country?

“Pretty Liar” and “Queen of Me” are two more that hit. Her chosen co-writers are eclectic and experienced, but hard to find on any other country album. Lyrically, songs from Queen of Me are great pop songs, but thin country songs. Queen of Me is Twain’s sixth studio album and it’s as pop-friendly as The Woman in Me, Come on Over and Up! I Feel Like a Woman,” but the sentiment is sincere. The 12 synth-heavy songs on Queen of Me are authentic to the artist she’s always been, even if they stretch beyond the often too-rigid boundaries of the genre.

The pop-country icon talks about her 'new' voice and a belated Nashville acceptance.

On the lush title track, Twain sings that she is “busy being the queen of me,” apparently a full-time job. “I’ve been criticized and insulted a lot in the country music industry press over the years,” she says. “They have no time to worry who’s going to stand in their way.” “There’s been a love-hate relationship from the Nashville industry people toward me,” she says, diplomatically enough. It is “giddy up” in the horsey, let’s-go sense, and “giddy” in the joyfully elated sense – let’s have fun. Maybe she stopped reading reviews in 1995, when she was dubbed “America’s best paid lap dancer in Nashville” by a critic. “If it were up to me, there would be no genre divide,” says Twain, who began singing Top 40 hits in bars as a kid and who last year performed with Harry Styles at Coachella. Mark Ralph is a Brit-pop producer, David Stewart is a British songwriter and the American Tyler Joseph is one half of the Grammy-winning pop duo Twenty One Pilots. It is Twain’s first outing on the road since her supposed “farewell” tour of 2015. “I actually like listening to myself on the microphone,” she says. “It’s a great, liberating thing to imagine, but maybe not so much in real life.” Her just-out new LP is Queen of Me, complete with a title track that declares independence despite her marriage (”I don’t need a king”).
