Yeah, I actually liked "Swingin" more than "LATGG." I like the little reggae bounce it has.
I thought she sounded fine! You can tell how deliberately she sings now, like she's really concentrating. It makes her seem like she's dragging a little bit every now and then. But all those vocal exercises she has to do have clearly paid off, her voice was almost non-existent on those GH tracks. I think her voice has way more weight to it now.

I love both of the songs. The chorus of 'Swingin'' reminds me of one of her old songs for some reason.

I know this is just you thinking out loud - but I don't think she would ever re-record a song she worked on with Mutt. I could be wrong. I do think at least, if she truly does go back out on the road she needs to perform even a part of "Don't!" Take out "Quitter" and "Party For Two" and leave in "Don't!" Given the fact that 16 songs are on the new album and she just told Ty, Kelly, and Chuck that she wants to play the new songs live I'm thinking she would take out all of the 2004 GH tracks. I think if fans got four new songs live, it would be solid. We unfortunately may never see a live version of "Don't!"

So her upper register is basically dead but her tone is still great and her stage presence is stellar. It was a joy just watching her perform and enjoying herself and it's great she was able to recover most of her voice regardless. There's plenty of pop stars who wish they sounded that good live.

Not sure how I feel about "Swingin'". I'll have to listen a few more times. Also, did anyone else think she was lip-syncing this song?

Okay, so I've listened to it a few times and I can't wait for the studio version of "Swingin'"! It's country-rock-reggae awesomeness! I'm not sure the fiddle near the end was appropriate, but I guess I'll have to see how/if it translates to the studio version.

Good news, BBC Radio has added LATGG to their 2017 Summer "A-List" meaning it will receive heavy rotation on the countries' #1 syndicated channel. International fans, rejoyce.
Plus, Shania is (finally) doing press for the single in Canada this week. She will be on ET Canada (Part 2) tonight. Last night she confirmed she will tour for the album and instead of doing the Christmas album will follow NOW up with another studio album. The next album she will use co-writers. Sia, Kelsea Ballerini, and Drake were mentioned.

I would like to see her work with Jack Antonoff and Max Martin and pull off an album that sounds like 1989.

Looks like the tracklist is slowly being revealed today. Shania posted a link on her official Facebook page, where you can connect to Spotify ("by connecting, you will automatically save the new track, follow Shania Twain and 'Life's About To Get Good' playlist & sign up to the official mailing list") and I guess the more people that do it, the more the tracklist will be revealed. Here is the link: strm.to/RevealNOWSo far, this is all I can see: 1. Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed 2. Home Now 3. Light Of My Life 4. Poor Me 5. Who’s Gonna Be Your Girl

According to a fan who received a 12 track pre-release copy, the song in this video is "Poor Me."

I'll be buying this... I don't care how auto tuned it is. And I'm not here for people who complain about that.

Apparently there was a glitch last night when the track listing was added to the deluxe version of the album. In some countries, people got what I presume are going to be three promo singles: "Swinging With My Eyes Closed," "Poor Me," and "We Got Something They Don't." (I wanted to add an exclamation at the end of the last title out of force of habit). Haha.
