Shania Twain talks about new album: "Dark inspiration"

[Bellatrix 34,811]

...As the years ticked by without a new Twain album, the pressure slowly built up to make it something truly special. That pressure increased when Twain decided to write all the music herself. "It needed to be really pure and my own story and my own emotional journey," she says. "I was now alone all of a sudden, and I didn't want to shy away from it. And that's not a collaborative thing; it's a very personal thing."

For Twain, songwriting was a struggle in the years following 2002's Up!, an ambitious double LP that failed to meet the expectations set by Come On Over. She focused more on raising her son Eja, 15, at home in Switzerland. "I wish like crazy that I had new music by now," she wrote to fans in 2009. "It's been hard to put [my writing] all together into song format." She decided to ramp up her songwriting after launching her Las Vegas comeback show, Shania: Still the One, in 2012, which was followed by a successful 2015 arena tour. Twain built tracks on GarageBand before taking them to producers including Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga) and Ron Aniello, who produced Bruce Springsteen's last two albums. "I told anyone getting involved musically to forget about my other records," she says. "I didn't want it to be related to Mutt's productions at all. I wanted a more organic approach." The resulting material is less poppy than her Nineties hits. "I was reflecting on the darkness," she says. The album has no title as of yet, but she plans on getting a single out in March and then releasing the album in May.
