I can't wait to see the booklet... from what I've seen online it looks beautiful! And even more interesting, the deluxe edition is a digipak and the booklet has a different cover with a new picture!

 Apparently so!... I haven't scene a physical copy yet as I live in Canada. I also hope all the new pictures are released online. I like to try to recreate album booklets into digital booklets and I'm very anal, I don't like to go too off track of the original.

The latest post of Shania in her countdown is I think the music video of SWMEC. I have a strong feeling!

Guys, call me crazy, but I downloaded an illegal copy of NOW tonight, just because it's been 15 years and I'm too nervous that something might happen and they pull it off the shelves/iTunes (which that would be totally dumb and never happened anyways, but I'm not risking it) before I wake up tomorrow morning. At least this way I have a copy! Haven't listened to it yet, just for emergency purposes! Insane I know.

 We do anything just for Shania right? lol. Be sure you buy digitally and the physical CD. We need to get #ShaniaNOW to #1.

 Haha, okay you sound just like me! I did the same thing!... I probably haven't waited as long as some people, as I actually became a Shania Twain fan in 2003, so if I was to get technical for how long I've been waiting for this, maybe about 14 years... but still, for the majority of Shania's fan base, it's been 15 years. 

Anyways, I haven't listened to the album yet, but I do have the same worries as you, afraid that we'll wake up tomorrow morning just to find out these past 4 months have all just been a dream of some kind, and Shania's comeback is only an illusion. But luckily we are just a few hours away from listening to "NOW" in it's entirety. I keep hearing and reading good things about it, so that gives me more hope that this is going to be an amazing ride of an album. All aboard the Shania Train!!!! And yes we need to get #ShaniaNOW to #1.

 I'm buying both digital and physical. Digital because I listen to most of my music in the car or on my computer or phone and neither 3 have a CD player. Physical because I need the booklet and to hold it in my hands!

I normally feel ok to download illegal copies. And I did so this time because I preordered it on iTunes but the wait was too long. So I listened to the illegal copy first. But now I've got a legal digital copy and I also preordered the CD in June. I hope she'll have good sales!

This don’t impress me much, Shania: ADRIAN THRILLS says the queen of country pop’s return after years of turmoil is rocky - but not always in a good way

By Adrian Thrills | The Daily Mail (UK) | September 28, 2017

Shania Twain: Now

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Verdict: Muddled return

As lengthy sabbaticals go, Shania Twain’s is right up there. The 15-year gap between her last album, Up!, and today’s return might pale alongside the 25 years it took Roger Waters to deliver this summer’s Is This The Life We Really Want?

But it pips TLC’s recent self-titled comeback (14 years) and knocks Blur’s The Magic Whip (12) into a c0cked hat.

The Canadian had signed off on a high in 2002. Singles such as That Don’t Impress Me Much and Man! I Feel Like A Woman! were impossible to avoid in the late Nineties and early Noughties, and Twain’s catchy blend of country, pop and rock had made her one of the best-selling female singers ever.

The intervening years have certainly not been dull. In 2004, she contracted Lyme disease and suffered nerve damage to her vocal cords. Six years later, her marriage to South African producer Mutt Lange ended in divorce after he had an affair with her best friend.

In a storyline worthy of one of those old Nashville standards that inspired her to take up singing in the first place, Shania sought solace in the arms of her former friend’s estranged husband (are you keeping up?), and the two of them married in 2011.

With so many twists and turns, Ottowa-born Twain, 52, shouldn’t be short of inspiration, and she duly tackles her emotional turmoil here. ‘I wasn’t just broken, I was shattered,’ she admits on Life’s About To Get Good, while Poor Me finds her reflecting: ‘Still can’t believe he’d leave me to love her.’

She also embraces her new-found happiness, although her candid outpourings tend to scratch the surface where they could have dug deeper.

With her former studio collaborator Lange now persona non grata, she also vacillates wildly musically. She juggles four producers here, with Surrey-born Ed Sheeran sidekick Jake Gosling, American keyboardist Ron Aniello, Grammy-winning pop songwriter Matthew Koma and roots rocker Jacquire King all taking turns.

As a result, Now is a muddled album. After opening with the tepid reggae of Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed, Twain reasserts her credentials as the queen of country pop on Home Now, her singing augmented with banjo and fiddle.

There’s a country-rock feel to We Got Something They Don’t, too, though the most interesting track lifts Shania out of her Nashville bubble. With piano, strings and subtle synths to the fore, Who’s Gonna Be Your Girl makes the most of her creamy voice and is the best song here.

The big ear-worms arrive towards the end of the album, with You Can’t Buy Love, a Sixties soul pastiche, and Life’s About To Get Good, a honky-tonk hoedown that looks exuberantly forward.

It’s typical of Twain that, even in her darkest hour, she just can’t quell those high spirits.

Shania should dominate physical sales but surprisingly it is doing well on the itunes album charts in a few places, #1 in Ireland, #2 in the UK but ahead of miley and demi. #2 in Australia and #2 and #10 in new Zealand

Just finished listening. My top songs overall are Home Now, Who's Gonna Be Your Girl, and All In All. I also like Swingin' and Something. Soldier is cute even though it's not usually the type of stuff I go for. I need to listen to Where Do You Think... again because it was a lot to manage the first time, but I think it could be one of the better songs here.

More Fun, Poor Me, and Light of My Life are the bottom-of-the-barrel tracks here imo (the If You Wanna Touch Her or Waiter Bring Me Waters, if you will). I know a lot of people like Poor Me - I don't get it. I think the lyrics to all the songs are probably fine, but something about the production is depression. Idk any music theory but sounds like they're in a minor key when they should be in a major key, for example.

I Love The Album!!!!!!!!!!

And I LOVE SHANIA TWAIN!!!!!

Like even more so than I thought I could ever love her.

My favorite songs from NOW are Home Now, Light Of My Life (even though this song sounds more like a demo than a final version), Who's Gonna Be Your Girl, Where Do You Think You're Going, Because of You, Soldier, and All in All, and of course the 2 singles LATGG and SWMEC, and the promo single "We Got Something They Don't.

My Top 3 of course will have to be Who's Gonna Be Your Girl, Where Do You Think You're Going, and Because Of You.

Don't get me wrong though, I also love the bangers here, especially "Let's Kiss and Make Up" and "You Can't Buy Love".

Oh, and I'm Alright is pretty cool too! Need to listen to it a few more times, but may eventually squeeze in my top 5 favorites!

Also....

I Love Shania for also uploading Audio videos for all the songs on YouTube! Since it may give the songs more exposure, and that's what a lot of the mainstream artists seem to be doing these days anyway, so it's actually a good marketing tool, believe it or not!

But yes.....

THIS WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT!!!!!

 I agree - the whole thing is just alright and some songs are pretty unlistenable. Definitely my least favorite Shania album. Life's About to Get Good is actually the high point for me.

 Thanks guys! smile   Come On Over is still her best album. But I like the songs in the NOW compare to her previous work such as Today Is Your Day, Ain't No Quitter and Don't. I like Party For Two though. smile

I like this album better than 'Up', although no song has the IGGG or FAFF hit potential. The overall sound really suprised me in a positive way. Come on over is of course her best album to date.

Now start streaming the hell out of it on spotify!!

surprise surprise lol two of the most negative people about the songs here don't like album lol I think it is an amazingly strong album and glad that lots of fans like it. Congratulations Shania on making a deeply personal and amazing album and sharing it with the fans . It is already selling well around the world. Okay that's all I wanted to say, now you can be negative amongst yourselves lol

Let me clarify myself, I still LOVE the songs that I mentioned before. That's, LATGG, SWMEC, WGSTD, HN, RMOTR , and soldier... but that's it so far... i dislike everything else.. but if this time is anything like the last time, I'm sure I'll change my mind. 😝

One last thing, she took the Lana Del Rey thing way to literally. When she said she wanted her new record to sound like Born to Die, I was like , no girl you gotta do you not you doing Lana..

Also, I'm Alright would've been amazing with a better vocal performance... just saying...

I was trying to decide which I liked more - Up or Now. For me, COO and TWIM are better than both. When I first listened to Now, I thought I was liking it better than Up. But after thinking on it... Up has some of the best Shania songs despite having some of the worst, and everything on Now is "good." Not her best but mostly not her worst either. So overall I think Now is my least favorite of her albums, but it's still a solid album start to finish.

After having listened the album 3 times, here are my impressions:

My favorite ones are definitely: Swingin' My With Eyes Closed, Home Now (I so much love this one!!!!), Whos' Gonna Be Your Girl (great chorus, great arrangements, I'm sure I'll be obsessed with this one), I'm Alright (especially towards the end), Roll Me On The River, Because Of You (it made me cry and the song fits both for Fred and Eja), Soldier and All In All (maybe one of her best songs EVER).

The full version of More Fun let me down a little, Let's Kiss and Make Up and Light of my Life are growers. The only one that doesn't convince me for now is Where Do You Think You're Going.

This is a VERY different work than her previous ones, she has been right in saying that during all the past months and I can understand why some people are a little perplexed at first. But the album is a grower, the more you listen to it, the more you like it (for me, at least). It's not as immediate as Come on Over has been, but I also think that during a singer career there is only one album like Come on Over has been for her, and some singers don't even reach that kind of perfection.
The best thing about Shania is that she is never quite the same on her albums, every album has its own personality, and this one is her most personal ever.

My favourite song is Where Do You Think You're Going so far but I also like Home Now, I'm Alright, Who's Gonna Be Your Girl, Roll Me On The River, Because Of You, You Can't Buy Love and Soldier. I guess it will take some time for me to really "taste" the other songs. And Poor Me now sounds too depressing for me. I think the verses of Light Of My Life are very beuatiful and I was about to like the song, but the chorus ruined the impression. I started seeing Life's About To Get Good differently as it is one of few up-tempo songs here that sound closer to the old Shania. I liked Swingin' With My Eyes Closed but now I got a bit bored with it. I like the album in general, even through it's not my favourite one of hers but my tastes change. Maybe someday it will grow on me the way TWIM did. I liked TWIM from the beginning, but COO was number one. Then somehow TWIM became number one for me. So everything changes.

I'm happy she's back! I really was afraid that it will never happen and was emotional last night when I finally got the digital version. Hope, there really won't be another 15 years. Thank you Shania and congratulations!

One thing I noticed that's not accurate on all the charting positions, NOW is charting as two albums..the deluxe and regular version. We won't truly know the chart position until both versions are accounted as one.

 Not only that, Shania seemed really enthusiastic when she announced it, which gives me hope Shania really is truly back, and that she will make more music videos this era!
I don't care what some people think about this album, NOW is still a brilliant and amazing album for a comeback, and if it was up to me, we would have at least 5 or 6 singles/videos this era or more! Here's hoping! 😍

 It will debut maybe after her Facebook live which starts 10:30AM Los Angeles USA time. That's 1:30AM Philippine time and I won't be sleeping yet. hahaha.

So far this is the Itunes Chart as of 12:30 pm Eastern Standard Time on September 29th, 2017.

I am sitting here hoping and praying she breaks the mold of the poor album sales in the past few years and breaks records!!

Happy Shania Twain Day (unofficially)

Life Is Good—Shania Twain Is Ready to Let the World In Again

By Alison Abbey | Parade | September 29, 2017

Shania Twain is back with a bang—not that we’d expect anything less from one of the best-selling artists of all time. But her new album, Now (her first since 2002’s Up!), finds the notoriously private Twain, 52, getting candid about the events that kept her out of the spotlight.

“Writing is like journaling for me,” she says. Everything from the demise of her marriage to her producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange (detailed in the song “Life’s About to Get Good”—see the video below) to her subsequent marriage to longtime friend Frederic Thiebaud in 2011 is laid out on the album. It’s the first that she’s written entirely alone.

“I was really scared to take the plunge and it took a while. I procrastinated a lot!” she says. “But I eventually took a leap of faith in my own abilities and pushed through the fear.”

As she gears up for a world tour in 2018, Twain talked about where she’s been, where she’s headed and how turning 50 in 2015 made her appreciate it all.

On surviving divorce: When you leave a long-term relationship, everything you know, everyone you know, and all of the dreams that you were building for your future—that’s all just gone. It’s different from that moment on. I gave up on fighting the way I was feeling. It was better to let myself feel and not let anybody tell me to just get over it. And I let time do the rest. You recover from that fall at your own pace, and only you know when you’re ready to start climbing. The more you ignore it and try to pretend that it’s not happening, the longer it takes you.

On her song “Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed”: It’s exciting. There’s so much in that song that reflects my life and being afraid but moving forward anyway. To me, swinging with my eyes closed is like, “I’m just gonna move through it. I don’t really want to look, but I’m gonna go for it.” So it’s that fighter in me who wrote that song.

Healthy eating on the road: It’s actually easier—there’s a routine, and as long as you avoid going out to bad restaurants or fast food, it’s pretty good. When I’m on the road, I’m in a professional frame of mind and I’m thinking very much about being responsible and staying healthy so I don’t get sick. When I’m home, I tend to snack a little more, socialize more. Tennis is my workout, but it’s hard to do on the road. I miss playing when I’m on tour.

On being a working mom: It’s never easy. Family really means a lot to me. And I love domestic life. But we work it out, we make it work. It’s easier now. For Eja’s youth, I wasn’t working anyway. The last time I had been on the road was “Up!” and he was still a toddler and hadn’t started school yet. Even when I did start getting more productive, like writing my autobiography and all the things that followed with that, I was still working from home. So it’s really only very recently that I’ve been this traveling working mother. By the time I’m touring [in 2018], he’s going to be 17 years old. So to be honest, the big break saved me. I was able to really indulge in parenting and being home.

A new generation to carry on her legacy: A lot of small children were at my concerts years ago and now they’re Kelsea [Ballerini]’s age and Taylor [Swift]’s age and Nick Jonas‘s age. Now that they’re young adults and they can tell me all about it it’s really, really fun. So when I get to sit down or sing with them, it’s just super great. I’m very complimented by it and I enjoy the novelty of that.

Honing a new craft: I’m filming a movie called Trading Paint with some amazing actors right now. John Travolta‘s the lead. That’s super fun and exciting, I’m having a blast. It’s my first acting movie experience so I didn’t know what to expect, I had no idea what this was going to be at all, but it’s been really comfortable. And John’s such a great support. It’s an elite group of people and I’m just learning from them and having a blast.

No one escapes aging: Of course I’m going through what everybody else is going through in growing older. I just do the basic things—skincare; good, disciplined eating; and being active and keeping my body limber and fit—and that’s it for now. I’m sure at some point, unless I get a facelift, I’ll eventually look old. That’s just life.

How it felt to turn 50: It was definitely a mark in time, psychologically. I reflected a lot on “Wow, 50 years have gone by.” It made me more thoughtful about where I’d come from and where I started more than about the actual number. It was a time of reflection and gratitude. It’s a little bit like Christmas: We love the people we love all year ‘round, but at Christmas we give them that little bit of extra attention and show them even more how much we love them. Turning 50 was about taking the time to recognize where I’ve been and how far I’ve come.

First off let me say that I'm extremely impressed in Shania's songwriting on this album. The production on some songs are smart, and spot on. This is a different sound of Shania we are not all use to. But according to her, it's her true self..and I believe it. Her music on NOW is mature, and has moments of sass ( not like COO or UP!)

These are my favorite songs on the album after two complete listens. Anything could change, as it did when I really disliked Ain't No Particular Way back when Up! album came out, and now I'm all over it!

- Swingin' With My Eyes Closed
- Poor Me
- More Fun
- I'm Alright - great song here, strong!
- Roll Me on The River - my jam
- We Got Something They Don't
- You Can't Buy Love
- Because of You - tear jerker
- All in All

My not so favs:

-Let's Kiss an Make Up
-Light of my Life
- Where do You Think Your Going

The rest are ok...

 Can someone please AGAIN help me out with this single and song? I did not except this. I was excepting a storyline, something to connect the material to the artist. I am still lost on the whole "summer's here... " If she kept that whole "summer's here" out it could make sense and I do not get the video. All I see are dancers just dancing. No action no fist in the air. Can someone please help me with this single, song and video. I am lost! Like LATGG if some of the lyrics like "summer's here" was left out maybe something better or connectioning..

 I think the music video emphasize the "swing" dance. It is still summer as you notice sunlight flashes in the scene. But this is much sexier compare to LATGG video. Shania is still freakin' hot with a nice butt 😊
