ALBUM REVIEW: Shania Twain’s ‘Queen Of Me’

The Queen is back!!! Today, (February 3rd, 2023), legendary country-pop artist Shania Twain returns with her epic sixth studio album ‘Queen Of Me’, her first record since the hit comeback record ‘Now’ back in 2017 and the almost 5 years wait for a new collection was certainly worth it.

The latest project from Twain sees her stripping away all the layers and laying herself bare with a tracklist that is carefree, liberal, freeing, fun, feel-good, heartfelt and so much more. she is an iconic artist for a reason and ‘Queen of Me’ once again puts the spotlight on her incredible artistry.

There’s something truly special about the way Shania can deliver hit after hit and continue to blaze a trail whilst pushing the boundaries of modern country and this collection doesn’t stand still, it keeps moving into new realms and genre crossovers creating a fresh and heady soundscape.

The Canadian native has spoken recently about how she finally feels free in herself and that she has embraced her true feminity aged 57, and with ‘Queen of Me’ the shackles are most definitely off, you hear it in the bold track such as ‘Not Just A Girl’, ‘Pretty Liar’, and the title-track, she is leaving it all on the table and it allows others to let themselves go too.

Meanwhile softer tracks such as ‘Inhale/Exhale AIR’, ‘Got It Good’, and ‘The Hardest Stone’ create a beautiful bridge between the multiple styles that are weaved throughout the impressive tracklist and on these songs, you hear the nuances of Twain’s vocal that takes you back to the Up! era and shows how much strength her voice has.

‘Queen of Me’ is the ultimate comeback LP from Shania Twain! She has released herself from any pre-judgements and created an album that is true to herself both as an empowered woman and as a country-pop hitmaker.
