Shania Twain On Her New Music
Twain made a grand return to the music scene with her latest album, "Queen of Me." During a chat on the "All Things Considered" podcast, she talked about how the pandemic influenced her new music.
Twain said of her experience working on the music project, "Because this album was written during COVID – as I always do, I [used] songwriting as my therapy. But with the forced isolation and everything, I just needed to pick myself up, cheer myself up. [I] started writing songs that made me feel like dancing and put me in a good mood."
She revealed that her Covid experience wasn't a great one and that she "got the COVID pneumonia... so I ended up being [air evacuated] to an available bed and hospitalized there."
Twain added, per NPR, "When I got out of that hospital, the timing was amazing – I saw someone talking about air, the blessing of air ... and I just started writing this song about all the things we can do with air, other than the obvious."
