0209.27-CMT to premiere Shania's new video: [CMT Press release]: "I'm Gonna Getcha Good" premieres OCTOBER 4th at 7pm. Shania talks a little about the new project in the CMT Press release...."Videos have been huge in my career," Shania tells CMT. "And I believe so much in visual image because I think music and visual image just go together. On the flip side of the coin you don't go see a movie without hearing music. Movies have soundtracks. They just go well together," Shania says. About the new video itself... Shania's new video promises to again raise the bar for music videos. The Mercury Records superstar does not give away the details but she does tell CMT's Katie Cook on the London based video set, "(I'm Gonna Getcha Good!") will be something different, something I've never done before. There will be animation - very futuristic and there's an edge to it. It will keep you a little bit on the edge of your seat. It's more of an action video, so it's different for me," she adds, "there are two personalities in the video. One is sort of the Shania and the other person is kind of the superhero."

0209.25-Universal Canada has a message from Shania:
Shania interview to appear on CMT soon!![CMT] Countrystars.com reports that, according to Entertainment Weekly, SHANIA TWAIN’s new album could be one of the antidotes that the world could be looking for to counteract all the tragic events and doom and gloom news headlines that dominate our thoughts these days. EW says that, although the album wasn’t inspired directly by recent times and events, Twain was intentionally aiming for a ‘feel-good’ disc. Twain says, “It’s up and it’s cheerful. We wanted to enjoy writing it. We wanted to feel up about the whole thing. That’s why we ended up gearing everything towards a very positive feeling.” Look for Shania Twain’s new album “Up!” to hit stores on November 19th. CMT’s ELISSA LANSDELL nabbed an opportunity to chat with the Canadian superstar on her home turf in Switzerland recently and we’ll have news on when you can see that interview very soon. Look for updates right here on CMT Buzz.
0209.23-Twain's album, antidote for toxic times.[Countrystars]
Take a look at the headlines today and it's obvious we're living in toxic
times for the soul: Image after image of child abuse, bus bombers, war in
the Holy Land, impending war in the Gulf again, terrorist alerts weekly,
stock market down, unemployment up, CEOs become "Robber Barons," enough
already, right?
0209.22-SHANIA GETS 3C GOOD![3cRadio]
If you’re a Shania fan,
you’re no doubt expecting this single to be good. Well, forget it…it’s
better than good, it’s magnificent! Although extremely catchy, the track is
also very complex in its construction. There are a number of different
sections, so the song never gets boring or repetitive......There are a few
seconds in “I’m Gonna Getcha Good” that will remind you of the “Come On
Over” album, but for the most part it sounds fresh and different. Needless
to say, it is punchy and extremely commercial. If the rest of the ”Up” album
is anything like this good, I think there is a good chance sales could match
or exceed those of “Come On Over”. They report that they will be
playing it as soon as Mercury gives them the green light. Stay tuned for
details!!!!

0209.20-Up!-"It’s up and it’s cheerful," Shania explains Countrynation.com reports: According to Entertainment Weekly, Shania Twain’s album, UP!, due November 19th, includes 19 songs, and judging from the tracks it previewed, the material is... well.., up. Pretty much what Twain had in mind apparently. "It’s up and it’s cheerful," she explains. "We wanted to enjoy writing it, we wanted to feel up about the whole thing. That’s why we ended up gearing everything towards a very positive feeling." When it comes to how the album stacks up musically, Twain states that she hopes to please everyone. "I know I have pop fans and I know I have country fans. I want them both to be entertained by what they’re hearing." On another Twain front, BBC news reports that she'll be among those giving master classes to contestants seeking stardom on BBC One's new talent search, "Fame Academy." The program, which launches next month, will give 12 wannabe performers the chance to make it big. That's right. The British are every bit as silly as we are
0209.20-Up!:More of that Unique Twain Country Pop Mix The article from Norway continues to spread around the internet, CountryStars.com reports the following: Beginning with her second album, Shania Twain delivered a unique amalgam of pop and country tunes that kept her new sound essentially country music. Soon the hit tunes from The Woman in Me drove the album's sales through the roof. Come On Over was more of the same, only better, and the rest is history. Question is, what's coming next? Shania gave a recent interview to the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, and according to descriptions of some of the cuts of the album the interviewer was able to hear, UP! may have a similar mix of tunes. "The title song ("UP!") translates to "large single potential in a scant three minutes"..."Not Just a Pretty Face" is described as "tasteful pop...(with) mild steel guitar"..."I'm Not in the Mood (to Say No)" has a "melody [that's] wrapped up in a...Latin arrangement." "Forever and for Always" is said to be a "rock ballad (with)...a beautiful country refrain"...while "Thank You Baby! (For Makin' Someday Come So Soon)" is described as a "straight-on pop record that could've come from 1986." (from Dagbladet comments re-printed by MJI). Album in stores Nov. 19th.

Shania's New Album UP! To Be Released
NOVEMBER 19th
0209.17-You didn't really get our all, if you will." [Countrystars]
Shania Twain told a Norwegian newspaper that she isn't
concerned with trying to top herself with her new album UP! That might be a
safe thing to say since topping two albums, THE WOMAN IN ME or COME ON OVER,
that account for nearly all of her 50 million worldwide albums sold so far,
might not be possible.

0209.16-Honey, I'm aboard: [countrynow.com]: 
Shania Twain has revealed
that her upcoming album, UP!, was an international affair. According to
CountryNation.com, she says
the disc was recorded in France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Austria, India
and parts of the Caribbean, during her pregnancy and after her son was
born. Meanwhile, Shania will be among the recording artists who'll
help school pop idol wannabes for a new British TV show titled Fame
Academy.
0209.16-Shania says she will not compete with herself:

0209.13-Shania at the crossroads: [USATODAY]: Shania Twain Up!, Nov. 12 The numbers: Come on Over (1997), 19 million The challenge: Following the best-selling album ever by a female artist. The stakes: That spot right above Thriller looks mighty appealing, if Twain can expand her country and pop-crossover audiences. The goods: For someone who releases albums only every five years, Twain certainly doesn't skimp on material. Early reports give Up! 19 tracks, and at least one mix for country fans and one for pop might be available on the initial release date. More important — what did having a baby do to that famous midriff? The outlook: One of the flat-out smartest women in showbiz, Twain is developing a history of making critics and naysayer eat their words — nicely, of course. Don't bet against her.
0209.13-Shania the Ultimate Role Model: [canada.com]
"Where
would things be if Shania hadn't been here?" she asks. "I think she helped
country music. I have so many friends that never liked country music until
Shania came along. She changed things so much and I think it's for the
better.

UPDATE:
son
Eja: Apart from moving to Europe, the second
biggest change in Twain's life in the past three years was becoming a mother
to Eja..."I think I'm more emotional since I've had the baby. I'm just more
sensitive," says Twain, who says the transition to motherhood has been
seamless. "I'm really enjoying it. He's a good baby, though. He's a very
sweet guy. He only fusses when he wants something specific. There's no
mystery to him at all. He's got so much love. He loves everybody around him,
very easy going. He's got such a placid nature -- like my husband." On
moving to Switzerland: At the time, when we were deciding where
to be, where to make our home, there was a lot going on. I was really having
a hard time finding privacy and solitude," Twain says. "Since I've been
here, I realize why Switzerland is so famous for that. People are very
discreet. They really play down the fact that they're amongst a celebrity.
There are many well-known people just in the general area." To
