I can't believe I forgot to post about this! I actually got Shania Twain's new album "Queen of Me" back in early February just a few days after it was released, but I have been forgetting to post it for some reason.
With Shania Twain being one of my all-time favorite artists, it's not difficult to imagine why I would want this one. However, I did some things I had never done before when I bought it. Such as:
1. It was the first time I preordered an album.
2. It was the first time I ordered anything at all from Target.
3. It was the first time I willingly bought an album with an explicit label when I usually steer clear of them
When I found out the Target release had bonus tracks, it was only natural I would want this one more. Seeing how only one song had explicit lyrics and I could easily just go on iTunes and buy the edited version of the song if I didn't like it, I felt it was worth getting this album for those extra tracks regardless of what explicit content may be on it.
Already listened to it all and was more impressed than I thought I would be! The song "Pretty Liar", the one with explicit lyrics, was easily the one I was the most curious about simply because it had explicit lyrics and that was something I thought I would
never hear from Shania in her music.
Although I find her use of explicit lyrics to be unnecessary in this song, I actually
really like it and it's become a new favorite in spite of my expectations! 👍 Not just that, but "Wake Up Dreamin'" and the bonus tracks are also ones I found quite remarkable as well.
Overall, I am pretty happy with this release and I have a feeling that will only grow with time since her last album did exactly that. I had been looking forward to a new release from her for quite some time now and I am glad she finally came out with another one. Now I just hope she doesn't take 5ever to release another one again.
