Shania's label rep: New album 'nowhere in sight'

EveryBodyLovesKevy · Guru

How is this any news?
We already knew that there is no album in sight. She hasn't even started recording and is too busy with her love life.
She is just becoming more and more irrelevant and that is the way she wants it.
She can't even keep a promise to her fanclub never mind side stepping music and misleading her fans for over 6 years.
It is very sad what she has turned into and I as a fan feel sorry for the many loyal fans who put any time and effort into her music.

I do have to agree with you that once Shania made her massive fortune she has no use for her fans or the music. It does seem like it was all about the money.
And yes she will come up with any excuse to play the victim and not make music.
I have said this for a few years but now more and more will come to realize the person she has become.
People with real problems do more in a month than Shania has in 7 years.
People are sick with her attitude but whenever she does her next blog watch the victim act and excuses even get bigger.
FAns just don't understand that she has no interest in making music and hasn't for 7 years.
I think a couple of years ago when Shania said she was on permanent hiatus should of given the fans the hint that she had never intended on putting out any music.
Maybe when she is 50 she will do a senior citizen flashback concert.
Her fans she has left will make any excuse in the book for her and they believe what she says.
The bottom line is that nothing Shania says can be taken seriously anymore and that makes me sad as a once big Shania fan to say. I still love her music she made with Mutt but I have lost respect for her as a person.

Darryl have you joined just to cause problems? I dont see why you would waste your time, if you are no longer a fan why post now and not before? There is no need for such horrible language either, nobody will respect your opinion with language like that.

There are certain individuals who get a kick out of stirring up trouble and if they feel Shania is such a terrible role model and/or feel she's not worthy of the adulation she gets from her fans, than they shouldn't really be posting on here. The purpose of this message board is to share and communicate information with others, not an opportunity to slag Shania off for every little thing she says or does, give it a rest!

CP - Entertainment
Shania's label rep: New album from country superstar is 'nowhere in sight'

TORONTO - For the seventh year in a row, Shania Twain fans are gathering at a conference in the country superstar's hometown of Timmins, Ont.

But it's also been seven years since they've had a new Twain album to listen to, and it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime in the near future.

A spokesman for Twain's label says a new record from the singer is still "nowhere in sight," despite Internet rumours to the contrary.

The 43-year-old hasn't released an album of new material since 2002's "Up!" And yet in an oft-fickle music industry where artists are forgotten in the time it takes to download a new ringtone, Twain's fans and peers are proving extraordinarily patient in waiting for new material from the singer.

"One of the things that's very unique about Shania, is that she writes her lyrics and she writes her music - and subsequently, she doesn't turn out an album every six weeks or every other year, it takes her a while," said Richard Sessions, a 51-year-old from Goshen, Ind., who has made the trip for all of Twain's fan conferences.

"We understand that she's also had some other things in her life that have distracted her from her music, so we're patient."

And Twain, apparently, appreciates it.

In a June 12 blog posting, Twain apologized to her fans for her delay in creating new music, writing: "I realize I'm not holding up very well on my end of the relationship!"

But Twain, who has always shunned the spotlight when it comes to her personal life, has kept an even lower profile since splitting from her husband and producer Mutt Lange.

In June, she wrote about the difficult time she's endured, and discussed trying to keep her emotions in check for the benefit of her young son.

And she also described a creatively fruitful period that followed the "personal crisis."

"Since then, I've been inspired by my pain to write and use writing as a therapy through the suffering," Twain wrote. "I truly wouldn't wish this on anybody as a means to get inspired, but it's been a productive period with so much emotion trying to find its way out. "

"However, there is no telling how long it will take me to actually finish these songs and record them so they can get out to you."

Rumours swirled on the Internet earlier this year that Twain would, in fact, have a new album out in the spring, and then the fall. But her label rep says there definitely won't be a new studio album from Twain out this year.

Meantime, many people anxiously waiting that new material, including the staff at the Shania Twain Centre in Timmins, a $6-million facility that opened its doors in 2001.

Tracy Hautanen, the centre's manager, says that roughly 30 people registered for this year's Twain conference, which started Thursday and runs through Sunday. That's down from 100 a few years ago.

"We were hoping for more people, but of course, the numbers are low for a few reasons - the economy is not helping, and then this is a quieter time in (Twain's) career as well," she said in a telephone interview. "So we know when things pick up with her, our numbers will pick up again."

Hautanen said just 500 fans have toured the centre this year. That's quite a comedown from 55,000 annual visitors projected when the centre opened to much fanfare eight years ago.

Twain's peers are also eagerly awaiting the singer's return. A surprise appearance at last year's CMA Awards in Nashville earned Twain a standing ovation, and a chorus of country stars - including Taylor Swift - have been vocal about wanting to see Twain come back.

"I was so proud of our country music family in Nashville when (Twain) came out on stage at the last CMAs," country legend Reba McEntire told The Canadian Press in a telephone interview.

"They were so glad to see her again. They showed their love and support by giving her a standing ovation."

As far as Twain's staying power, it's no mystery to McEntire.

"She's beautiful, she's very talented, great material, lord - what's not to love?"

Hello Do not hate me I Just bough Shania's Up Cd and the women In Me the other day. I loves Shania Twain but it's been since 2002 since a new Cd Was released I know she had a rough year bit its becoming a long wait. I am have troble putting the songs in format I am wondering is mutt the one that did all the writing because it does not take 7 years to write a full album disrespect me all you want but I am honest I loves Shania Twain still but after the Label said she would be releasing no album anytime soon I got mad I am not the only one trust me.

STF1 · Senior Member

The creative process is different for every artist. Shania has said herself she finds it hard to focus when she's at home, because she gets caught up in domesticity, this is very novel for her. Plus when she was married to Mutt, he would take as long as he did, being the perfectionist producer that he is.

Don't worry, say what you feel.
YOu are right what you say.
There are those who would believe Shania if she said the sky was pink.

STF1 · Senior Member

Nobody has bashed you, you came to a Shania fans site calling Shania horrible names. And if you only just bought her 2 albums the other day why are you complaining? Those have been out for years, you could have bought them earlier. You now have 2 albums to enjoy and get to know but instead come here calling her names! Do you expect her to release an album every week? You have a lot of music there to be listening to if you only just bought them.

Darryl is entitled to his opinion.
An album every 2 weeks?
Who said that
For goodness sake all the fans want is one album in 7 years.
I think lots of fans are frustrated with Shania's lack of interest in music for years and her attitude.
We all have different opinions.

You make more sense than most here.
Some think that because you are on a Shania site and a Shania fan then you can't voice your honest opinion.
Some don't like to hear the truth.

STF1 · Senior Member

He said he only bought 2 of her albums a few days ago. If he is complaining about wanting new music he sure got through those 2 albums fast.

kelc317 · Guru

I think there is something fishy with loverdud,posting about how much money Shania has and that she hasn't work in a while,hmm who else is always complaining about that.

STF1 · Senior Member

I cant understand why anyone would go so far to complain having only just joined up and be so upset about no new music having only just bought 2 cds in the last few days! If this person is so upset wouldnt they have bought the cd's YEARS ago? You are right Craig.

kelc317 · Guru

I can't understand why people that think so poorly of Shania come to her sites at all,thats just strange to me.

Tonto · Guru

Maybe people should take a few things into consideration here. Shania and Mutt wrote all the songs on her album. Add up how many songs that is.. Mutt produced all the albums...He sang back up vocals and so did Shania. And the Up album had 3 versions that had to be edited and produced and Mutt and Shania did all that so add it all up. That's a lot of songs if you think about it that way. Lots of lyrics and music. Both perfectionists so it takes them a long time to just one song let alone 3 albums not counting the Greatest Hits album, then the perfume and having a baby and raising him, so has she really been that slack? I don't think so. She had been working hard since she started working at McDonald's so why not give her a break. Maybe she and Mutt did have an album almost ready and then the divorce came out of the blue. Slammed the new album into a brick wall. Had to start over throw it all out plus deal with the trauma of the divorce and make sure Eja was ok. Not easy. A perfectionist who's once perfect world is no longer perfect. What next? Where does she go from here? Has to pick herself up and start over personally and professionally. Might take some time to sort it all out...Just my thinking... I can wait and will happily..
Warmest regards as always,
Tonto

can we say shania is semi retired, i dont know know what to make from this but maybe she is done with music, i pray not, because her music was so inspiring and had meaning.

Tanya · Guru

Why do they always repeat one and the same thing? It was clear a long ago that there would be no album this year.

AikoujOi · Member

She's been working at McDonalds?

Her first real job in her teens was working at McDonald's. This was when she first started working to help support her family.

I think when she does finally release a CD it will be extraordinary! It takes her awhile because she creates her own from real-life situations and they aren't always easy to put into song-form.

You really are out in la la land if you believe what you just said.
the excuses some fans make are laughable. She isn't even trying to put out an album and nobody asked her to put out an album every 6 months or year lol!!!!
She can't even put out one album in 7 years.
People do more in one month than Shania has in 7 years.
It takes her awhile because she puts no effort into it and isn't even trying to seriously creat music not to mention it was Mutt Lange and her together than wrote the music and he created the music.
Any song writer would laugh at your comment about not putting real life situation into song form. Any song writer who has any talent at all could put any material into song form. Dolly writes 50 songs a month.
There is no exuse for her sitting around and not even trying to do anything except shop and travel for years.
And the longer it takes, the worse it will be.Not the other way round like you seem to believe. The albums that take longer are always the very worst with the worst material and the highest expectations.
And without Mutt Lange at the helm don't even expect it to be anywhere close to the geat albums in the past.
I am sorry but as a Shania fan I think Shania blew her chance and time just sitting around wasting her talent and making excuse after excuse not to make music.
She even was making excuse not to make the UP album because she said it was too close to 911 event. But Mutt conviced her to make it.
Most artists who are real and honest want to make music to make people happy but Shana tries to make every excuse to not make music, that is not what I call an artist.
Shania has really let many people down by her attitude, that is my opinion.

All I can say is that we Shania devotees are not interested in what Kevy has to say and/or what he thinks of us. This guy has a big a chip on his shoulder and If I were the moderator of this site, I would put a block on his account, to stop him from posting on this board forever more. If he has such a strong opinion that Shania isn't cut out to be a singer anymore and doesn't believe anything she tells us, why doesn't he just bog off, and stop wasting time offending others and dissing her name.
