Shania talks NEW personal album, confirms genre contrast
Quote:
Since it’s been confirmed you’ve started work on your new album, I think fans are really curious about what kind of musical direction you’re going with next because so much has happened since “Up!.” What do you think will surprise people the most about this next disc?
It’s hard to say, but I’m writing different. My song direction is different, just stylistically. I think it’s just because I’ve been spending so much time writing by myself, whereas before I was writing so much in partnership with Mutt that that influence was split, and mutual. Now I’ve been left alone in my own, stylistically, so I think that will be the biggest difference. I think the sound of the record will depend a lot on the producer, and that will be more where the outside influence comes in, in the production.
Is it going to be a 50/50 country and pop mix, or what music direction as far as the genre? I do think there will be a contrast there for sure. That is already just who I am anyway. Even if I was producing it myself I would maintain a level of contrast. I think that’s why it has worked so well to make the records that I make. The rock and country is something I am attracted to so I think that wide, broad spectrum of contrast is going to remain. I don’t think I would ever make a straight rock album. It just wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t make that blend in there somewhere.
It sounds like it’s going to be 100 percent all you this time. Do you think it will be your most personal album yet? I think so, yes, that would definitely be where my head is at. To really just talk in my songs and make it something meaningful for myself that I can appreciate it as a personal experience when I’m performing, probably more than ever before. I’d say that’s a good guess as far as the direction I am going to take it.
Can fans expect for a spring or summer release? No release date in mind at all. I am really still in the stage where I’m accepting the fact that I’ve decided to make another record.
Would you consider extending your Colosseum residency after you fulfill the two-year mark?
It depends on what is going on with the new album. I’m at a stage in my life where I am really taking one thing at a time. Producing the whole show itself was a giant feat for me and now getting through the performance phase of it, being on stage again. The next step is making a record. I just haven’t thought that far ahead yet, I’m really more in the phase of the record.
but Up! is one of my favorite albums of all time so I'm excited regardless. I'm interested to see how she'll do without Mutt though. I'm expecting a fall 2015 release but no wigs will be safe then
