In the words of the great woman herself - let's go, girls!! Shania Twain is the Queen of the original country-pop crossover.
Long before Taylor Swift made the jump from Red to 1989, before Maren Morris gifted her vocals to Zedd's The Middle and Kacey Musgraves muddied the genre waters with her Star-Crossed LP, there was no more successful transition from country bumpkin to pop superstar than Shania Twain.
Across the mid-to-late 1990s and into the 00s, Shania was armed with a spring in her step, a love for ellipsis, brackets exclamation points and an enviable stretch of hits, notching up nine UK Top 10 singles and two UK Number 1 albums - 1998's mega, blockbuster hit Come On Over and 2017's comeback record Now, which followed years of inactivity.
But now, Shania is back and here to stay. After fighting off Lyme Disease and its affects to her voice, her sixth record, Queen of Me, is a reclamation of joy, seeing Shania move over to new label Republic and welcome in a series of A-List (and mostly British!) pop collaborators including David Stewart and Jessica Agombar (BTS' Dynamite) and Mark Ralph (Years & Years' King).
