Also worth noting. Don't expect the typical poppy Shania for the new single/music:

"I told anyone getting involved musically to forget about my other records," she says. "I didn't want it to be related to Mutt's productions at all. I wanted a more organic approach." The resulting material is less poppy than her Nineties hits. "I was reflecting on the darkness," she says.

I'm hoping it's finally true but at this point I'm going to have to see it to believe it lol

Seems like it's finally time though.

She did play new songs for the interviewer, so I'm taking it as it's finally happening. She gave pretty good insight to three songs and the tone of the album too!

Oh I know but It's just I don't want to get my hopes up just to be let down again. lol

It's a little early to do this but I'm okay leaving this up for now. Rolling Stone is a good source and we're a month out...plus it's news on a new Shania single...we've only had one of those to talk about the last 11 or so years, lol.

You're fine, avalyn. :)

[codyj100]

I thought I'd never see the day where a Shania single thread popped up on Pulse. March, we will be waiting for you. AHHHHH!!  

[Deleted]

How great would a return to the ACMs with a new single performance be?

[.indulgecountry]

This is so exciting! I can't believe she's really going to be back, and so soon!

[stanches2318]

I'll believe it, when i see it

I wonder how it'll sound and if it will have some impact outside the US.
"Don't" was her last big hit in Brazil due to it being featured heavily in a primetime soap back in 2005...

She said in the article it won't be as poppy as the previous albums and would be considered a lot darker. One of the songs she talked about was the darkest of the album and it was about the end of her marriage. I'm thinking though the whole project it basically is covering everything from her divorce onward to her new marriage. She seemed to purposely go into making this album to have it be different than anything she did previously with Mutt. I don't think she expects as much success radio wise as she used to get since it's been so long and things have changed. I'll say unlike Garth, she seems to be open to the new ways listeners get music and how everything runs these days compared to the last time she had an album out. All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing what it all sounds like and "hearing" her journey from the dark points of the past several years to the light ones of happiness.

[jughead]

I don't care if this new album is a commercial success or not. She's already had an amazing career and has crmented her legacy. I just want new music.

[someguy]

I so want to get excited about this, but I've been anticipating a new Shania CD for about 15 years now, so I refuse to get my hopes up. (I also can't believe that it's been 15 years since Up! - wow!). I hope this materializes into something though.

It's now March. Shania's new single is expected this month and we still haven't heard anything??? Maybe they're going to release it as a surprise.. ???

We are only 3 days into March. There's still plenty of time for them to announce a new single.

[avalyn]

looks like we might get the new single on the Awards. i'd assume from there it goes to radio.

[drock89]

Looks like the album is named Triumphant, though she used that word to describe the album, too. Robin Leach, who has always had good scoops for Shania, reported the title and a new song title yesterday. Source

[davidj]

I remember way back in 2006, on the Shania.org message board, someone posted a rumour that there would be a new album called So Happy with a new single called Don't Shoot the Messenger! .

A track listing was revealed and there was a great deal of analysis from everyone about possible release dates.

This went on for months. Everyone on there was talking about it like it was fact. Anticipation was fit to bursting.

Turned out it was just a hoax.

[edph1]

I've been reading that the album or single is called Triumphant, any confirmation?

There isn't any real confirmation that I've seen. She just used that word to describe it though. The person who has started that is Robin Leach, he's been pretty good with information (I guess) on shania. So we'll just have to wait and see.

[jughead]

I am so over al this waiting. Time to move on and accept tbat Mutt has won.

No. That Mutt is the fuel behind Shania's music and success. Of couse, I don't believe in that personally. I was just being sarcastic with my previous post.

[someguy]

March has come and gone, and unfortunately nothing has materialized. I don't want to be negative at all, but I'm not getting my hopes up until a single ready to be listened to.

[.indulgecountry]

I'm getting real tired of this bitch.

[davidj]

It's been so long since her last album, it's hard to think of many people being interested even when she does release something.

Yeah, except she pretty much sold out every show just a couple years ago when she did a tour in the States and in Canada. A tour where she had no new music to perform. And it was a success. There is still interest.

There will always be an audience for nostalgia. It's how Take That came back.

I'm not saying there won't be any interest, just that it should not be taken for granted that there will be a lot.

An even bigger snake than Taylor.
Who else but the original queen of crossovers?

[bkeysfan]

I am waiting myself. She was one of the few I loved in country music.
