NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- International superstar
Shania Twain is back in the spotlight - and she's on CMT: Country Music
Television. CMT will be the first television network to give viewers
full access to Shania, beginning with her first new project in years.
CMT will present the exclusive World Premiere of Shania's video "I'm
Gonna Getcha Good!" on CMT MOST WANTED LIVE Friday, Oct. 4 at 6:00-7:00
PM, ET/PT.* The video is from "UP!," Shania's first album release in
five years, scheduled to hit retail outlets on Nov. 19.
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."
Paul Boyd, the video director for "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!," tells CMT
of the video, "With this one she actually gave me a lot of creative
freedom. I initially said whatever it is we do, I want it to be
groundbreaking and original and different and not what people expect."
He also hints at the video concept telling CMT, "The concept is set in a
futuristic world and she plays two characters."
CMT will debut a CMT exclusive special, SHANIA IN LONDON: MAKING THE
VIDEO, hosted by CMT's Katie Cook. Cook traveled to London for an
exclusive visit with Shania on the set of her new video "I'm Gonna
Getcha Good!" The special will give viewers a rare in-depth look at the
many aspects Shania Twain and her team go through during the making of
yet another groundbreaking project. Shania and director Paul Boyd, who
also directed her innovative video, "That Don't Impress Me Much," will
take viewers through their entire creative process. The revealing
special SHANIA IN LONDON: MAKING THE VIDEO will debut Friday, Oct. 11 at
10:00 PM, ET/PT.*
"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.
CMT has even more exclusive programming with Shania coming up. CMT
traveled to Switzerland this summer for an in-depth interview with
Shania for a brand new episode the hit biography series CMT INSIDE FAME:
SHANIA TWAIN scheduled to debut on Friday, Nov. 15 at 8:00-9:00 PM,
ET/PT* (repeats Saturday, Nov. 16 at 9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT*) as part of
