Editorial Reviews
Amazon.co.uk Review
The come-from-nowhere success of Shania Twain's previous album, The Woman In Me, proved that the world was ready for a combination of traditional instruments, girl-power themes and dance-pop dynamics. Whether Twain is a modern-day Dolly Parton or a country music Spice Girl is a matter of perspective; with her third album, she accentuates the sing-along choruses and simple dance rhythms while downplaying the country elements. As a pop move, it works wonderfully for her, earning Twain a valued spot on MTV, VH-1 and pop radio. The emphasis is on fun rather than depth, of course, but no one can accuse her of being stingy: She and her Svengali-like producer/husband, slick-rock king Robert "Mutt" Lange (Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, AC/DC) load down the album with 16 songs, all of them quite radio-friendly. --Michael McCall

Quality
There are times when I'd use the word 'pop' in its most dismissive sense - cheap, superficial, ephemeral, commercial, hyped-up pap. But there are elements of pop which rise way above the baseline. Shania Twain is a class act who has taken country into the pop charts without dumbing down. She has a great voice, collaborates with her producer/husband in the writing of some memorable numbers, and has great stage presence and personality - a belief in herself and her abilities which she projects outstandingly well.
The songs (all songs on this album are written by her and her partner) achieve a sophisticated pop/ballad feel - there is a driving beat, but it is subservient to the emotion and feel of the song and the potency of her voice. The words convey a raw irony and almost self-conscious understanding of life's ups and downs.
This is excellent, sophisticated pop, or country-pop, or pop-country, from a highly accomplished performer. Shania Twain delivers energy music - this is an album to play when you're feeling a little down, a little tired, or need a quick boost of her dynamic persona.
'Man! I feel like a woman' & 'That don't impress me much' are the anthems from this album, future classics which will be played decades from now as synonymous with the best of the era's music. They are belted out with rare quality and ooomph! But there are no weak tracks on this album, no fillers. You get a variety of rhythms, beats and emotions in what is a quality production from a real, class act.
A fun, radio-friendly pop album
Shania's previous album to this, The woman in me, was a huge American success but did not yield any British hits. This is the album that made her famous in Britain and it's not difficult to see why. All the songs are catchy pop songs that have the potential to appeal to people of all ages. The original North American version (which I haven't heard but would probably like even better) apparently has more of a country feel to it. This version, remixed for the European market, shows only limited evidence of Shania's country roots.
This album yielded five British hit singles, these being You're still the one (top ten), When (top twenty), From this moment on (top ten), That don't impress me much (top three) and Man I feel like a woman (top three). Don't be stupid was remixed again for single release and made the top 5. Many of the other songs had hit potential and it must have been difficult selecting which ones to be released as singles. I understand that several of them were hits in America and elsewhere. Of those that didn't become British hits, I particularly like Honey I'm home (a strong woman song reminiscent of Any man of mine, from The woman in me album), If you wanna touch her ask, Rock this country, I'm holding on to love, Black eyes blue tears (a song about a battered woman) and the song featured in the Notting Hill soundtrack, You've got a way. Well, that only leaves about four songs that I haven't mentioned but they are also good.
Some country fans don't like this but although I, even as a country fan, enjoy listening to her sing pop music when it's this good. Shania has made the switch to pop very effectively, at least on this album. This should not come as a surprise to anybody who knows that Shania was, for a time, a member of a choir that sang a diverse range of material, but particularly theatrical music (and nothing remotely country). So when Shania's pop career is finished, she will have plenty of options.
Enjoy this for what it is - an upbeat pop album.
