Just heard Shania's duet with Lionel Richie, "Endless Love." I have NEVER, EVER heard her sing like this before. Literally my mouth was open the whole time. Absolutely remarkable. She voice isn't just back.. it is soaring!!!

Shania Twain Honored for Selling More Than 75 MillionBy Wendy Newcomer | Leave a CommentShania Twain at the Nightly Concerts at LP Field on Friday, June 10 in Downtown Nashville during the 2011 CMA Music Festival.It’s been an eventful month for Shania Twain. On June 2, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (photos HERE). Last week during CMA Music Festival she signed her best-selling book, From This Moment On, for fans and announced a headline residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, beginning in December 2012. Last Thursday in Nashville, she was honored for reaching worldwide sales of more than 75 million, making her the top-selling female artist in the history of country music. Luke Lewis, chairman of Universal Music Group Nashville, paid tribute to Shania’s talent, vision, and determination during an afternoon gathering at the Citizen club in Nashville. It was a full-circle moment for Shania, who was surrounded by several music industry execs who helped start her career, including Nashville attorney Dick Frank and producers Buddy Cannon and Norro Wilson (see photo below). (l-r) Buddy Cannon, Shania Twain, Dick Frank and Norro Wilson.Shania’s present and future successes were also represented by producer Nathan Chapman (who also produces Taylor Swift), who co-produced her new song, “Today Is Your Day,” and Ray Kennedy, who mastered the song. “Today Is Your Day” premiered worldwide during the finale episode of Why Not? with Shania Twain on Sunday, June 12 on the Oprah Winfrey Network. The single is available now on iTunes, click HERE. “The purpose of writing ‘Today Is Your Day’ in the first place was self- inspiration,” said Shania, who co-produced the song with Chapman. “I was talking to myself and saying, ‘Today is your day. You can do it!’ But the decision to even write the song and share it was a big decision for me, to find myself as a songwriter again, independently, for the very first time after all these years. “Then the lyrics started flowing,” added Shania. “It was genuinely a melody that’s cheering me up. It became the natural theme song of the series.” “It was exciting for me as a fan and as a producer to find out just how brilliant she really is as an artist,” said Chapman. “She sounds amazing; she sounds better than ever. She is one of those artists who can tell a story just in the tone of her voice. The song itself is so uplifting. At a time when all of her fans are rooting for her and wanting her to come back and find her voice, she is turning that back around and she is rooting for her fans by giving them a song that they can play to inspire them.” For more information on or to buy tickets for the Ceasars Palace shows, visit shaniainvegas.com.

She voice isn't just back.. it is soaring!!! I said the same thing as I was watching her record it; I had NO idea her voice had some range and power to it. Maybe it's a good thing for her to work with new producers because Mutt never brought that out of her!

Not crazy about the track- very cliche. Sounds like a track written for an American Idol winner. But, a nice delivery, nonetheless.
But, nice to see Shania back (albeit with one track at the moment).

I need to hear the duet with Lionel. If her voice is as good as everyone is saying I'll go insane.

Looks like I was right, the song went as high as #11 on itunes and is down to #13, (#2 country) Not too shabby...Assuming it gets a Top 15 debut on Digital Sales chart (Hopefully Top 25 on Hot 100)

The full song (duet) was on Perez Hilton's blog. FYI.
I thought she sounded good but absolutely hated their rendition. It also seemed like too much production work had been done on her vocals, not in an autotune way but in some other ways, not sure how to explain it.

If the track continues to drop during the week, it likely won't debut top 15 on Digital Songs (it has just the one version).

Taylor and Shania are cut with the same knife, and Taylor is basically the "new" Shania, not to mention, Shania has expressed her love for Taylor in the past, and she just said out of all the country females, Taylor is the one she'd collaborate with. Carrie and Shania don't match. Taylor and Shania are a match made in heaven IMO. I think Carrie would be good with Martina McBride.

It was my thought that Taylor is the Shania of today while Carrie is the Faith Hill of today.

I do get what you're saying about Taylor and Shania being somewhat more similar than Carrie and Shania, but since when do artists have to be exactly the same in order to do a collaboration? Carrie has expressed that she is a big Shania fan, and even called Shania her "hero" when introducing her at the CMA Awards to present the Entertainer of the Year Award in 2008. Carrie has some Shania-esque songs like "Cowboy Casanova" and "Songs Like This". Shania is a much more mature artist than Taylor.

I just finished listening to the full song. Obviously she's had better songs but I'm glad to get a new song and to hear that voice again. I understand the criticism about the lyrics being cheesy and being anticlimatic but songs like this will be great whenever I'm in a bad mood since it's an uplifting and soothing song. Plus, it seems like it'll have a very low burn rate for me.
