The wait is over: Shania Twain reunites with the Quebec public this weekend after a five-year absence. Are you looking for the right songs to get you in the mood? Here are six tracks you can stick in your headphones to listen to any of the singer’s albums again.
What made you say that (Shania Twain)
If Shania Twain is known for her talent as a singer-songwriter, it is with a cover that launched her career: What Made You Say That, a title borrowed from the repertoire of the American Wayne Massey. Our Canadian icon’s version didn’t initially make a big splash on the charts, but her subsequent hits allowed fans to discover this sunny little country gem hidden in the singer’s past.
Any of my men (the woman in me)
In 1995, Shania Twain topped the charts for the first time with “Any Man of Mine,” the second single from her album The Woman in Me. She represents the quintessence of the artist: pure country, irresistible and devilishly catchy.
Man! i feel like a woman (come over)
It’s difficult to pick a single track from the album Come On Over as it was so popular and influential; In all, 12 of the 16 songs had a good life on the planet’s radio waves. If some lean toward That Don’t Impress Me Much – and its iconic music video – we’re more likely to fall in love with the frenzied man! i feel like a woman A must-have for karaoke nights, this utterly festive anthem is a true summation of good cheer that blossoms every time you hear it.
It only hurts when I breathe (High!)
On paper, the ballad “It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing” might swear in contrast to the other energetic tracks on the Up! album. But the opposite is true: the vulnerability that Shania Twain displays is all the more poignant when one is in a work composed mainly of luminous and catchy choruses.
Life will be good soon (Now)
The singer used Life’a About to Get Good to announce her comeback on record with Now, 15 years after the release of Up! And this title was particularly well chosen; Because for Shania Twain fans, life really would take a happier turn with her idol’s new original material. While the album didn’t receive critical acclaim, it marked a new era in the Canadian’s career that was well worth celebrating.
Handsome liar (queen of me)
Shania Twain bares her teeth – and swears – for a rare time in Pretty Liar, which was released earlier this year. The piece was not released as a radio excerpt, but it won us over from the first listen with its upbeat chorus and rhythm reminiscent of the musical universe of a young Bruno Mars. In short, a deliciously persistent catchy tune that sets the stage for the singer’s return to the province of La Belle.
- The Queen of Me tour will make stops at the Videotron Center in Quebec City on Saturday and the Bell Center in Montreal on Sunday.
