Shania Twain Working on New Album and Live DVD
Quote:
Twain's contract at Caesars runs into December 2014, but Canada's best export since Molson has other activity planned for the future. The next item of business is recording her first studio album since 2002's Up!
Reminded that it's been two decades since her self-titled debut, Twain said, "Wow, 20 years. I should have released an album this year... I didn't actually realize that. Thanks for that fact. You know what? I'm really now focusing hard on who should produce the next album."
"It's hard. I'm sort of overwhelmed by the choice. There are so many great producers. And I never really had to think about that before (since Lange handled most of those past chores). So it's the first time I'm really, seriously having to think about who would be the right match, you know."
While she has some names in mind, "I haven't targeted anyone yet," Twain added. "So I'm really still swimming around in that giant pool of great producers, to be honest."
Twain, who said she already has a lot of music written, plans to hire a producer early in the new year, then, "It would be amazing if I would be able to record something prior to next summer. That would be ideal. It'll probably end up that I'll be recording next summer and then maybe release the next Christmas. That would be wonderful. That's probably more realistic."
...
Twain remembers comparing notes with another attractive up-and-comer who eventually went on to attain superstar status and is following in her Vegas footsteps.
"I like Faith a lot," Twain said of Faith Hill, who brought the Soul2Soul show with husband Tim McGraw to Vegas' Venetian Theatre last December and will be back for 10 weekends of shows beginning in October. "She's a really cool person and we knew each other before either of us made it, so it was kinda neat. I mean just in town, around Nashville. Two girls just trying to be heard."
Occasionally, Twain said, they would have lunch and "just talk about how things were going and what we were each doing, and it was nice. You know, we just shared that same goal together and talked about our dreams and just real normal girl talk."
The fact that Hill and McGraw jumped on the Vegas bandwagon well after Twain got the motor running doesn't seem to bother her.
"I didn't really make anything of it at all," Twain said. "I had already been so much in the flow of what I was doing with the show, with my show that I just didn't... no, I didn't think of it at all, to be honest. They've been touring all these years and they have their own thing going and, yeah, I didn't see it as ... if anything, I sort of thought it would be neat to cross paths there. But I never got to see (their) show."
Twain said she plans to rectify that the next time around, especially since Hill came to see one of her performances before the hiatus. And with so much in common, maybe they'll be able to catch up on their personal lives someday.
"She's got a place in the Bahamas as well," Twain said. "When I'm done, I think I'm just gonna drop in. You know, just drop in and say, 'I'm here unannounced, but here I am. Let's sit and chat.' "
Plunk. That deep well keeps filling up. Adding to that wishful thinking, Twain still wants to see Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift perform in concert, meet the Rolling Stones and maybe find a way to top this Vegas act, which she called "a monumental thing for me and my career" that she plans to eventually preserve on DVD.

She will! She needed this Vegas thing to work out so she could get her voice back and realize she still had the drive and passion to make music and perform.
Her last leg of Vegas shows should end around Christmas 2014, which is the perfect time to change her attention to promoting this album.

It seems like she's planning a Q4 2014 release, but I shall not hold my breath if she's not even at the production stage yet.
Anyways, I think she'll most likely end up working with Nathan Chapman, Shane McAnally and Dan Huff. Predictable for country, but good enough (particularly Chapman) to work. Although I wouldn't mind seeing her go for adult contemporary producers instead of country producers. She's not getting back on country radio, but I think she'd do well on AC.
At any rate, I'm starting to think we'll get her album before Faith Hill's.

Hush, child. That's the look from her I'm Gonna Getcha Good video, which is nearly a decade older than Born This Way.

I'm just as excited for this new album as I am for the DVD.
She hasn't put out a full-length concert on DVD since the Up! era.
