Twain

THE FIRST TIME…FOR THE LAST TIME is collection of demos a then-unknown Shania Twain recorded in the late 1980s and early 1990s for Canadian label Limelight Records. Written in collaboration with Los Angeles producer Paul Sabu, the songs here are not country music, but rather well-crafted, energetically performed pop/rock fare. Though the production is often dated (particularly on the cruise-ship-dance-party-sounding “For the Love of Him” and the Laura Branigan-esque “It’s Alright), the tracks definitely offer repeated glimpses of Twain’s superstar potential. There are even a few country-tinged numbers (“Bite My Lip,” “Luv Eyes”) that presage Twain and Mutt Lange’s multi-platinum Nashville/arena rock hybrids. Though recordings contained herein have been made available in several other forms, this package goes the extra mile by offering both the original recordings and significantly re-mixed/remastered versions on two different discs.

Shania Twain's second record, The Woman in Me, became a blockbuster, appealing as much to a pop audience as it did to the country audience. Part of the reason for its success was how producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange best-known for his work with Def Leppard, the Cars, and AC/DC steered Twain toward the big choruses and instrumentation that always was a signature of his speciality, AOR radio. Come on Over, the sequel to The Woman in Me, continues that approach, breaking from contemporary country conventions in a number of ways. Not only does the music lean toward rock, but its 16 songs and, as the cover proudly claims, "Hour of Music," break from the country tradition of cheap, short albums of ten songs that last about a half-hour. Furthermore, all 16 songs and Lange-Twain originals and Shania's sleek, sexy photos suggest a New York fashion model, not a honky tonker.

It’s my real pleasure to announce 'Queen Of Me: Royal Edition'. You’ve embraced the new album in exactly the way it was intended - pure celebration! This version includes a couple of rogue tracks that’s didn’t quite fit the concept but are such important songs to me personally that I wanted to share with you - and a feature that happened serendipitously and gave me smiles for miles! It’s out Friday April 28th so Giddy Up! and pre-save it now. - Shania Twain

Geared up for another monumental chapter, five-time Grammy Award-winning legend and the best-selling female artist in country music history releases 'Queen of Me' on February 3, 2023. It notably stands out as Shania's sixth original full-length offering, first record since 2017, and official debut for her new label partner Republic Nashville, a division of Republic Records. She excitedly heralds the highly anticipated album with a song entitled 'Last Day of Summer'. The track unfolds as a nostalgic and cinematic anthem set in the final moments of everyone's favourite season. Delicate guitar melts into a steady beat and big screen-worthy strings as she nostalgically recalls, 'The last time we were together the first thing I remember every time September comes'. Shania will make it feel like summer forever, like only she can.

Up! is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was released on November 18, 2002, by Mercury Nashville. Three versions of the album were released: a pop version (red disc), a country version (green disc), and an international version (blue disc) in the style of Indian film music; all three discs contain exactly the same track listing and feature distinctly identifiable picture labels (for example, Twain sports a cowboy hat on the green country disc.) In the U.S., Up! debuted at #1. On September 23, 2004, the RIAA certified Up! at 11× Platinum, giving her the distinction of being the only female artist to have three consecutive Diamond albums released in the United States.
