***The album bundles in Shania's official store are insanely expensive! Ridiculous!

$1000 for the autographed set?! I'll just buy the CD from Target and the vinyl from Amazon when it comes out. I don't need a journal. (or do I? darn, now I'm thinking about it...)

BUT the one package does say early access to future tickets so the implication (if not explicit promise) is that a tour is coming. hallelu

The top package for $999.99 comes with a recorded message from Shania, with your name.

The next level, $249.99 come with a possible signed copy, if you were one of the first 50 to order (hoping I made the cut earlier this am).

Both packages though came with the exclusive ticket access.

Also, seems there are already 2 versions of the CD, the original with 12 songs, and the Deluxe which has 16. Heard conflicting information regarding both but since she has already recorded 21, I can see another release later in the life of the CD.

I think what they mean by that is that the song is the # 1 trending song on billboard country right now. I guess there is a separate chart for "trending" music!

no it actually said #1 trending and billboard, it didn't mention country

I agree on the lyrics. They sound a bit rough. And unlike her earlier songs (even Today Is Your Day) it made me bored after a few listenings.

A question to those who have ordered the CD from her Official Store: how soon did you get the LATGG download link? It says "instantly upon purchase". I haven't got mine yet.

GLOBAL SUPERSTAR SHANIA TWAIN RELEASES NEW SINGLE
AND REVEALS NEW ALBUM ‘NOW’ – AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 29TH.

Universal Music Group Nashville
Press Release
June 15, 2017

International superstar Shania Twain is set to release her brand-new album NOW on September 29th. Three decades into her storied career as the “top-selling female country artist of all-time,” Shania confidently embraces the moment on her triumphant fifth full-length album on Mercury Nashville and her first album since 2002. Assuming the role of sole songwriter for the first time and overseeing production as a co-producer, this is the woman the world knows and loves at her brightest, boldest and best. NOW, offered as both a 12-track standard and a 16-track deluxe, is available for preorder now and includes an instant download of the album’s lead single “Life’s About to Get Good.” The joyful new tune premieres today on country radio platforms around the globe.

Shania is set to rock New York City tomorrow morning as part of NBC’s TODAY Show Summer Concert Series. Fans can expect to hear new music including her latest single along with a few of her most-popular hits. While fans got a taste of the highly-anticipated new song in an exciting NBC Winter Olympics ad, the TODAY Show appearance will only be the second time Shania has performed “Life’s About to Get Good” for a live audience. The first came recently when she performed to a high-spirited crowd of over 75,000 fans as one of the three headliners of this year’s Stagecoach Festival in Indio, Calif.
In addition to the upcoming new album, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tenn. opens its Shania exhibit later this month as part of the museum’s 50th anniversary celebration. Scheduled to run through mid-2018, the exhibit will feature some of Shania’s iconic outfits from the “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” music video (including her top hat, top coat, corset, shirt, necktie, gloves, and skirt), as well as her memorable 2003 Super Bowl halftime performance outfit — the Marc Bouwer-designed black pleather-duster coat and velvet skirt with rhinestone embellishments and many more.
Shania is a five-time GRAMMY Award-winner and the reigning Queen of Country Pop. With more than 75 million albums sold worldwide and U.S. sales topping 34.5 million, Shania remains the top-selling female country artist of all time. Shania’s albums include her Platinum-selling 1993 debut, Shania Twain; the GRAMMY Award-winning, Double Diamond-selling 1995 release, The Woman in Me; Come On Over, the best-selling studio album in Soundscan history by a female artist in any genre and the best-selling country album of all time with over 40 million units sold worldwide; and UP!, Shania’s third consecutive Diamond-selling album release.
Recognizing her indelible impact and achievements in music, Shania is the first and only female artist to receive CMT’s Artist of a Lifetime Award. She was also honored with the Icon Award at Billboard’s Women in Music ceremony. Shania’s hits include “Any Man of Mine,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “You’re Still the One,” and “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”.
NOW album preorder packages are available now at Shania’s official store. Fans can find exclusive items only available through preorder including a sequin leopard print bomber jacket and a vinyl record with a personalized voice greeting from Shania. Fans can also hear Shania’s NOW playlist HERE. For more information, please visit www.shaniatwain.com.

Shania Twain (LATGG) OC: …stylistically. :49
“This song is very, it’s got a lot of conflict where it’s very true to my life and my story and my thinking at the time of the very first lyric – ‘I wasn’t just broken/I was shattered’ – like this just doesn’t get any worse, you know, in mind my mind, emotionally. But then the chorus is really catchy, and there’s the irony of all these happy, cheerful voices in there and the craft of the song itself. I mean, ‘Life’s about this, life’s about that, life’s about to get good,’ and that’s just a play on words and that’s just me as a song and that’s just me, the songwriter, having fun. I think this is just a more complete picture of me as an artist. It’s a more complete picture. There’s an extra element there that is deeper into my story, my personal story, but it’s the same songwriter stylistically.”

Shania Twain (LATGG) 2 OC: …of the song. :41
“Well, the song is a little bit of a departure of its own on this album. It’s definitely one of the more chirpy songs on the album, that’s what I would say, but it still has that melancholy story to it in the verses. We’re not quite there yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel type of the thing. That’s what the song is about obviously, and it’s a little bit of a satire this song. I’m kind of making fun of that and I’m having fun with like, ‘Oh boy, [I] can’t wait for things to get better. I can see the light. I’m going to head there toward that.’ And then I just sort of make fun with that in the musicality of the song.”.

Another song we can add to the NOW tracklist: "All In All"

BIO

We cherish the past, and we look forward to the future, but we live in the now…

Three decades into her storied career as the “top-selling female country artist of all-time,” Shania Twain confidently embraces the moment on her triumphant fifth full-length and first album since 2002, the aptly titled Shania NOW. Assuming the role of sole songwriter for the first time and overseeing production as a co-producer, this is the woman the world knows and loves at her brightest, boldest, and best. This is the singer who rose from poverty in Ontario, Canada to winning five GRAMMY Awards, selling 75 million albums worldwide, earning the title “Queen of Country Pop,” penning the best-selling memoir From This Moment, and achieving an unprecedented three Diamond-certified albums—1995’s 12x-platinum The Woman In Me, 1997’s 20x-platinum Come On Over (the best-selling studio album in Soundscan history by a female artist in any genre), and 2002’s 11x-platinum Up. This is the powerhouse voice behind “You’re Still The One,” “From This Moment On,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “Honey, I’m Home,” “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”, and “Come On Over,” to name a few. This is the fighter who returned from a quietly debilitating eight-year bout with Lyme Disease to headline a show-stopping two-year Las Vegas residency in 2012, launch 2015’s comeback “Rock This Country” tour, and receive a 2016 Billboard Women in Music “Icon Award.”

This is Shania NOW.

“I had to go through a lot in life to get to where I am,” she admits. “I can actually say that I’m home. Optimism is what you hear.”

That attitude drives the music. Throughout 2015 and 2016, Shania assembled what would become these 16 tracks. Splitting sessions between Switzerland, the U.S., England, and the Bahamas, she assumed the role of executive producer and co-produced every song with a handpicked dream team: Ron Aniello, Matthew Koma, Jacquire King, and Jake Gosling. Implementing acoustic instruments like mandolin, banjo, percussion, and guitar, the sonic palette carries what she refers to as “an organic thread” with “a bit of a retro sound,” often veering from roots-y to soulful.

Over this vibrant instrumentation, her songwriting takes center stage.

“I’m a songwriter first,” she exclaims. “That absolutely drives everything. It was a big step toward independence. I pushed myself, knowing it was going to scare me and knowing that I, alone, was responsible for however it turned out. I love collaborating, but I didn’t want any emotional, psychological, or musical influence. The minute you invite somebody into that space, you’re influenced. And then it wouldn’t be me. It wouldn’t be pure. This may be the purest work I ever do.”

As a result, Shania holds nothing back. Over sunny countrified guitars and backed by gospel-style harmonies on the first single “Life’s About to Get Good,” the songstress directly addresses her 2008 divorce with a wink and her head up high admitting, “I wasn’t just broken; I was shattered,” before adding, “I’m ready to be loved, and loved the way I should, life’s about to get good.”

“The song started out being about letdown and disappointment,” she admits. “When I was writing it, I was at home looking out at the ocean, and I said to myself, ‘Here I am stuck in this past of negativity, but it’s so beautiful out. I’m not in the mood to write a feeling-sorry-for-myself song.’ Because with all that **** comes all the great things, too. That’s what the song ended up being about. You can’t have the good without the bad.”

That understanding courses through the tracklisting. The handclaps and wailing guitar of opener “Swinging With My Eyes Closed” cooks up idyllic images of summer juxtaposed with the fighting spirit she so naturally flaunts—“I follow like a season not afraid of what I’m feeling.”

“Whether it’s joy or pain, the first thing we do when we experience a feeling is close our eyes,” she continues. “If you watch newborn babies, their eyes aren’t open yet, but they’re waving their fists in front of them. They’re swinging with their eyes closed. This is who we are intrinsically. I’ve often gone through things with my fists forward like, ‘I don’t know if what’s coming is going to be good or bad, but dammit, I’m ready for it’.”

Then, there’s the lilting acoustic guitar and dobro of “Light of My Life,” which evokes the smoky sultry spark of late sixties and early seventies Laurel Canyon as she croons, “Today to you, I’m invisible. Tomorrow, you’ll still be out of reach. Someday, you and I will be possible. We’ll be alone making love on the beach.” Meanwhile, “Who’s Going to Be Your Girl” meditates on the grief of “realizing that you’re not the priority in someone’s life.”

Everything culminates on the epic finale “All In All” where she leaves one final word, “I’m still myself but I’ve changed. Things I always thought were strange aren’t that strange at all, all in all.”

With all the changes, she’s still the one on Shania NOW…

She smiles, “I’ve been gifted with the ability to relate to people through music. That’s my comfort zone. Some people only feel comfortable socializing at work, or in a bar. But when you have music to connect you, it’s a really cool experience. I want people to feel moved by the album. It’s really just an emotional exchange. I hope I can provoke that in a listener.”

I understand what "Butters" and "Tanya" is saying. I've never been a huge fan of the song since day 1. There's something "annoying" about it and not a song I can put on repeat play.

Well Tommy if Shania's song is so annoying to you then don't listen to or report on it or give news about it. I find it amazing that her worst crtics are her socalled die hard fans. She has gotten positive reviews from almost every site i have seen. People who are not big fans of Shania even like this song but Tommy doesn't. Welll we are all entitled to our opinion. I think this song is a very good song song and an amazing comeback song like the vast majority or people who are fan or who are not really big fans think. I am really shocked at some of the comment here about Shania's lead off single. I know we are all entitled to an opinion and have different views but wow i don't get at all the negative comments about this song. I think the vast majority have spoken though. It is fantastic song with great arrangement and catchy chorus. But like i said there will always be that one or two or three that don't like it and that is fine. Thankfully the vast majority do.

It's ridiculous! If you're a fan, shut up and ignore the song?! It's normal for a person in general to have a good sense of criticism. After all, it's Tommy's website and through the years he's proven to be one of Shania's most loyal fans. Being a fan doesn't mean wearing pink glasses and love everything a star does and makes. And I personally think that with the song the majority you're talking about likes the person, Shania, and that's why they are not so critical about the song. Everybody loves Shania in the first place and has waited for her new music for so long and these facts sell the song and not the song itself. We'll see if this song can stand the test of time like her previous records. I doubt that as I got tired of it so quickly. But it doesn't stop me from being a fan. I still hope there are better songs on the album and I've purchased it because I've waited for her return and it's silly to give up on her now. I just think LATGG is a pretty avarage record for a songwriter like that. But it's just one of 16 songs on the album.

Um,to all those who don't like it, listen to it a few more times. I freaking LOVE it. I think the build up to the final chorus is ****ing life! I love the contrast of the lyrics and the music on the verses and that final chorus is just... just... ugh! how do you not wanna get up and start dancing! The song is getting awesome reviews and it's going to make the whole of Top 40 irrelevant. Sorry but this song is sooooo much better than Love Gets Me Everytime or Boots or I'm Gonna Getcha Good or any one of other lead singles.

HumbleKevy · Senior Member

And the ironic thing thing is i am not the one posting negative stuff about Shania or her music this time lol Well i actually have a good life here just thought i would start posting again a bit since Shania has new music out. Have fun being negative about her new song and upcoming album. i won't be posting or reading it anymore, a big downer coming here to read this. Life is too valuable to waste being negative on a site. It is summer and i will be too active and busy to be here, i will pick up Shania's album in September and enjoy it,

LJ-R · Senior Member

As I said yesterday. I'm a huge fan of the song, because it's so freaking catchy! However, I do believe you should have heard it for a few times. It's very layered, especially the chorusses, which I like (the clapping is realling getting to me). I agree though with some critics here that she has released better lead singles (IGGG for instance), but usually nowadays the song with the biggest hit potential is released as 2nd or 3rd single when the album gets released. Let's hope she can pull off some nice chart positions worldwide :)!

Hey Kevy! On the TODAY show, Shania just said "Life's About To Get Good" might be ANNOYINGLY catchy! See, I do know what I'm talking about! She even agrees! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

i disagree with you 100 percent, It is a perfect Shania comeback song, This isn't about her sounding exactly like mutt produced albums lol There are lots of other great producers out there, i think the chorus and arrangements are perfect and it has a very catchy chorus you can't get out of your head, It is new and fresh and not suppose to sound like mutt's records, People were saying Mutt's songs all sounded repetitive too, This will be a big hit and i am sure she has a few gems on the album. i am pleasantly surprised how much i loved her lead single.

I'm glad that you like it, truly I am. I just wish that after waiting for so long that I liked this song better. Perhaps as a fan I will not be able to make the transition over to her post Mutt work. Those songs were perfection for the most part and this new stuff "Today is Your Day" and now this new single just sound so second rate....

Ok, but let's be real... You haven't said one positive thing about Shania since you've been a member of this site, lol. We all expected a negative review from you.

Says the "new" poster with his 7 posts.....yet knows what I have said about Shania since I joined this site...strange lol At least have the courage to post as your real self.....

And if you did actually follow all my posts then you would know that there are things about Shania that I love and things I really don't like. I don't follow her, or any artist, blindly.

For the most part I love most of her TWIM and COO songs. Some of those songs like "When" and "TWIM" are some of my all time favorite songs put out by any artist. I wasn't a huge fan of "Up" despite really liking some of the songs on that album but it got silly with "She's Not Just a Pretty Face" and "Waiter Bring Me Water!" and "Juanita".

I think she is a terrific performer and was a wonderful singer (her voice is not the same and never will be). But I also give TONS of credit to Mutt--he is the true musical genius between the two of them. It is because of his musical producing know how and song tweaking that made her the huge star she became in the 90's (and any "real" fan would agree with that). He took her decent songs and made them incredible with is lyrical tweaking and producing. That is why I feel any new songs/albums will be lacking without his influence and probably why she took so long to put out new music (she knows how much he helped her music). Ask ANY artist he helped and they will give him total credit for what he does for their music....

So perhaps her new music will not meet my "Shania standards" but hoping a few of the songs on the album are decent (I'm thinking my best bet will be the ballads since her new uptempo stuff without Mutt is lacking the sass and attitude from the past).

There is no way that I can keep Life's About....on repeat, it just bores me to much. I can listen to AMOM and YWML and DBS over and over again.....but the new single is too repetitive for me...

That means you are the authority to tell Tommy what he should listen and report on his website and what shouldn't but if someone objects to you and has their own opinion then they are too negative for you to accept their right to exist. You will go on writing how negative we are opposed to you who recovered his sight. WOW! The most negative thing happens here when someone so positive blames somebody for a different point of view and instead of just passing by the messages starts to react on every single bit of the given opinion. That's way too positive for me - HA-HA!

To LJ-R: I've listened to it a lot since it first appeared after Stagecoach. I'm not saying the song is bad but it's avarage comparing to her other songs (even the lyrics of Today Is Your Day are more interesting for me). Usually I wanted to listen to her new songs on repeat but this time it didn't happen. Well, it's OK. As you said the 2nd and 3rd singles could be more interesting so I'll just wait for the album. It won't take long now. :)

Completely agree with this post!

Ok, this thread has turned into a back and forth argument about how much we like or dislike LATGG. I'm surprised you have not tried to get things back on track, Tommy. Instead you are engaging in the argument, just trying to further your point that you do not like the new song. I get that some people like it and don't like it. Mutt Lange is a creative genious, BUT I feel like Shania was just a marketing product for him. She could never really explore her own creativity because it was overshadowed by Mutt. Now, she is free to explore her own creativity and herself as an artist.

No, the song does not sound like her old stuff, but this is the year 2017 and music sounds different. It wouldn't even matter if her new song was produced by Mutt Lange, it would still sound different because it is no longer 1995 or 1997, it is 2017. Over twenty years has gone by since these hits were put out. Music in 2017 is going to sound different. The generation is different and time has moved forward.

Kevy called me out because I called "LATGG" annoying which I have the right to my opinion. So I pointed out that SHANIA even said the song might be annoying this morning on TODAY! As they say, great (musical) minds think alike. biggrin

No i never once said we don't have a right to an opinion Tommy lol yours is just as valuable as any of ours. Also to be accurate she said annoyingly catchy which means it is a song on repeat to many because it is catchy. My ooinion and many others it is a great song, Also her new song she performed today was amazing, Anyway enjoy your summer everyone, i won't bother posting here all summer while everyone bickers how they hate this song or that. We all have our views but coming here after new music just seems a downer reading some comments. kevy Will enjoy his summer with work and play 😁😁

The most negative thing happens here when someone so positive blames somebody for a different point of view and instead of just passing by the messages starts to react on every single bit of the given opinion. That's way too positive for me - HA-HA!

To LJ-R: I've listened to it a lot since it first appeared after Stagecoach. I'm not saying the song is bad but it's avarage comparing to her other songs (even the lyrics of Today Is Your Day are more interesting for me). Usually I wanted to listen to her new songs on repeat but this time it didn't happen. Well, it's OK. As you said the 2nd and 3rd singles could be more interesting so I'll just wait for the album. It won't take long now. :)

You're not worth my time 😁Enjoy your summer 😊

It must have been difficult for her to choose the lead single for this album. I read that Eja actually picked the lead single for her! Not sure if that's true, but that's kind of special. Swinging is a great song as well as LATGG. Can't wait to hear the diverse type of sounds and arrangements on this album!

And I did not say Mutt deserves all the credit, that would be a false and silly thing to say. But I strongly believe, judging by her early songs and songs that were drastically changed by Mutt, that Mutt was a main contributor to her lyrics, and obviously her sound. I don't agree with your assessment that Shania wrote most of the lyrics. But no use fighting over that point. Mutt had the lyrical credentials and had written Many successful songs before Shania came on the scene--so his lyrical prowess was very well documented by that time.

I'd like to add. I was impressed with the lyrics sheet shown in her Homecoming TV programme back in 2004. There were her lyrics of You're Still The One and his corrections over her writing. There were a lot of them! So yes, he edited her stuff a lot, even the lyrics (that's why LATGG souds so rough to me with clumsy rhymes in the verses, I think).
