Awards Show on April 6 in Ottawa! A GREAT NIGHT for Shania fans everywhere!

reason to feel "Up." The sassy superstar with a best-selling album on the
charts has signed on to host the 2003 JUNO Awards.
New GREAT Review of UP! The magazine "Sound & Vision" has printed a review of UP!: "They may call her the Queen of Country Pop, but now Shania Twain is aiming for global conquest. Up! is a radical and even unprecedented packaging of new material. Each of its 19 perky, pulsing tunes appears in separate country and pop versions, making for a 38-track, double-disc album. The country set favors fiddle, pedal steel, and twangy guitar, whereas the pop set emphazises synths, electronic beats, and a big rock guitar. (Overseas, a disc with a world-music slant replaces the country versions.) The arranger and producer behind this extravaganza is Twain's husband, Robert John "Mutt" Lange. But the singer's zesty vocals, clever turns of phrase, and cool, sassy personality remain the front-and-center attraction." To read the full review, go HERE!

Your songs aren't just catchy; the high spirits positively conquer all!" R.J. Smith has writtena review titled "With a fizzy new record of not-really-country music, Nashville's crossover queen wants to take you Up! Really!", go HERE to review the full review!
