***At the 9-minute mark, Ronan Keating asked if "Brand New" will be a single. Shania said "that is the plan".

Brand New is probably the song I listen least to. Best Friend should be a proper single.

 “Best Friend” is the only song I skip. Should have been a bonus track and “Done and Dusted” should have been on the regular edition of the album ❤️

I’ve been a fan of Shania’s since Up!. Before Up!, I had thought Shania Twain was meh—kind of boring—kind of cheesy—I hated From This Moment On (still do) and I loathed That Don’t Impress Me Much (still do) and it irritated the crap out of me that they were both on the radio so much. Forever and for Always is the song she got me with. The melody and the harmonies in that song is magic. It’s magic that is missing from a lot of the songs out there (Unholy has it. As It Was has it). I wanted to chime in and say I believe there is a song on Queen of Me that evokes that magic, and that song is Got It Good. I am surprised y’all aren’t talking about that song more. Giddy Up! is great and Waking Up Dreaming is good (though underwhelming) but Got It Good is pop gold much like the very best of ABBA songs. I do hope it’s the next single.

 YES! I have to say that Got It Good, is my number 1 song on the album. People compare it to Not Just A Girl and I understand why, it has the same sound. But they are two completely different songs. They both have to me that classic Shania sounds. I still haven’t tired of listening to Not Just A Girl and I think Git It Good is going to have that longevity for me also.

At the 45-seconds mark, Shania says "I have a world tour this year and I will be back in the studio recording more." I don't know about that. How is she going to have time? Plus I think on TalkShopLive back in November she said the next album won't be out for at least 2 or 3 years.

SHANIA TWAIN PRÉSENTE L’EXCELLENT « QUEEN OF ME » ! (article La Parisienne Life)

Publié le 6 Février 2023 par Steph Musicnation

Heureusement pour nous, cette fois-ci, Shania Twain n’a pas attendu quinze longues années avant de présenter un nouvel album.

Cinq ans et quelques mois après la parution de « Now » qui s’était classé numéro 1 des ventes au Canada, en Angleterre, aux Etats-Unis et en Australie, Shania Twain dévoile un excellent sixième album intitulé « Queen Of Me ».

Précédé par « Waking Up Dreaming » et « Giddy Up ! », le nouvel opus de la chanteuse Canadienne synthétise parfaitement ce qu’elle sait faire de mieux avec un brin de modernité en plus.

« Queen Of Me » est indéniablement l’un des meilleurs albums de Shania Twain ; même si on a tendance à se faire la même réflexion à chaque nouvelle sortie de sa part.

Produit par l’artiste en compagnie de Tyler Joseph, Adam Messinger, Mark Ralph et David Stewart, ce sixième pas discographique est un concentré de hits en puissance ; « Pretty Liar », « Inhale/Exhale Air », « Got It Good », « Number One » et « Not Just A Girl » ; qui prouve que Shania Twain n’a absolument rien perdu de sa superbe et surtout qu’elle arrive à conserver sa place dans le cœur du public sans avoir à suivre des modes ; sa musique est intemporelle et son mélange Country-Pop est toujours aussi vivifiant.

Rares sont les albums que l’on écoute intégralement deux voire trois fois de suite tellement ils sont bons mais il est certain que ce brillant « Queen Of Me » en fait partie.

SHANIA TWAIN PRESENTS THE EXCELLENT “QUEEN OF ME”! (article La Parisienne Life (FR))

Fortunately for us, this time, Shania Twain did not wait fifteen long years before presenting a new album.

Five years and a few months after the release of “Now” which ranked number 1 in sales in Canada, England, the United States and Australia, Shania Twain unveils an excellent sixth album entitled “Queen Of Me”.

Preceded by "Waking Up Dreaming" and "Giddy Up!" “, the new opus of the Canadian singer perfectly synthesizes what she knows how to do best with a touch of modernity and more.

"Queen Of Me" is undeniably one of Shania Twain's best albums; even if we tend to have the same reflection with each new release from her.

Produced by the artist in the company of Tyler Joseph, Adam Messinger, Mark Ralph and David Stewart, this sixth discographic step is a concentrate of hits in power; “Pretty Liar”, “Inhale/Exhale Air”, “Got It Good”, “Number One” and “Not Just A Girl”; which proves that Shania Twain has lost absolutely nothing of her beauty and above all that she manages to keep her place in the hearts of the public without having to follow fashions; her music is timeless and her Country-Pop mix is ​​as invigorating as ever.

Rare are the albums that we listen to in their entirety two or even three times in a row, they are so good, but it is certain that this brilliant "Queen Of Me" is one of them.

This is better than the "Giddy Up!" official dance video!

Watch! - https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3lSUAOhCL/

"Giddy Up!" debuts at No. 30 on this week's Billboard Adult Contemporary chart (week of February 25). The new charts will be released tomorrow. We'll see how far Queen Of Me falls.

"Waking Up Dreaming" and "Giddy Up!" on this week's Mediabase Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart.

Honestly I don't know why the album fell so fast off the charts. To me the music is amazing and this album was we'll put together. Even in Canada I expected better sales. Perhaps age has a lot to do with it? Maybe the wrong singles were released? Some say good promotion others say terrible. Some say good voice others say terrible. Most artists over 40 don't sell records anymore and it happened to Celine Dion with a album a few years ago. She's almost near 60. I sometimes wonder being an outsider and Canadian does it have any affect on radio play or is country Radio male dominated? I think the album should have been released last year when the Netflix documentary was released around the same time. Worldwide people know Shania but most music you can listen to for free. I do agree on one thing this is a pretty massive tour coming up and not sure if tours help with album sales. We don't have CMT in Canada no more in fact Much More Music is also gone and has been for years. The Woman In Me was a huge success, Come On Over was a international/Massive success and to have one of the best records ever made is an accomplishment not many artists especially female ever achieved especially over 40,000,000 and all those hits. Up! was also a major success not like Come on Over but was still a big hit but nothing like Come on Over. The Greatest Hits was also a album sales hit. Now was an independent album all written by Shania which other then the production the songs were well written. I was amazed with her song writing skills. Just the production and her voice were off. However I loved Who's Gonna Be Your Girl always wanted that as the first single and Solider I believe had it of been promoted would had been a hit. Then she has done some duets since now and we're pretty good. She honestly on this new album did an amazing job but unfortunately as a country artist you need country pop not pure pop. It must be hard on her looking at the album and seeing it fall so fast off the charts. She says it's about the fans but she really put effort into this Album. There was a Tiktok song why it got scrapped was beyond me to me it sounded like one of her best. Will we get a third single maybe? She's touring this year but her next album and hopefully she does another album she gets into more of a country sound and maybe a duet with some big star. I sometimes wonder is she afraid to do duets because she's afraid of how she might sound or are these duets she always wants to do with Harry Styles, Lizzo and others more of a dream then reality? Harry Styles would not say no to doing a duet with Shania Twain I believe it's Shania Twain who's afraid to do a duet. Regardless Im not sure why album sales are the way they are. Giddy Up! did well on Spotify but other than that I don't see much more success off this album. I personally think the album is great but it just doesn't fit with country radio. Will there even be another album? Who knows takes her years to make one. She always says she's got lots of songs written if that were the case we would not wait five years to get a new album. Maybe she's does not care about the charts it is more about just making music. Regardless Shania I love the new album and times have changed. Besides you're still selling out stadiums and people go to see you. Enjoy this tour and hopefully we get another single with an amazing music video. Hopefully a new album again some day. Until then have fun and enjoy your life and do what makes you happy. 

I really hope she releases a deluxe version!

I mean at least QOM is still on the US iTunes Top 200 chart. She was out of the scene for so long before the mess that was NOW (other than Who’s Gonna Be Your Girl and Roll Me On the River, production and vocals were almost unlistenable even when the songs themselves were well-written… ) it’s gonna take a duet with a prominent younger artist to get ears on her again. ie: REMIX Brand New with Miley Cyrus etc…

She is focusing way too much on flash. Silly outfits. Always a different hairstyle or hair color for no reason. Posing nude and talking about it over and over again. Along with constant conversations about her “giant saggy boobs”. She is almost 60. She needs to stop trying to chase youth and be cool. She needs to grow up and write some mature serious music that will leave a lasting impact. Enough of trying to create dance crazes like “Giddy Up”. She is way past her prime. This is why it’s all failing. Nobody wants to see a 60 year old lady act this desperate.

 Speak for yourself, I love QOM and a lot of people do, i like fun and candid Shania. Let her be and stop categorizing people by their age. It’s nothing but a number. She’s finally being her authentic self.
