New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Strutting into 2023, five-time GRAMMY Award-winning legend and the best-selling female artist in country music history
Shania Twain shares a brand-new single entitled "Giddy Up!" today.
The track sets the stage for her eagerly awaited new album,
Queen of Me, arriving on February 3, 2023. It notably stands out as her sixth original full-length offering, first record since 2017, and official debut for her new label partner Republic Nashville, a division of Republic Records.
Kickstarting the record, "Giddy Up!" rides out of the gate with a fiery, flirty, and fun chorus tailormade for singing and dancing along. As always, it showcases her show-stopping range and undeniable charisma.
Shania says, the saying "Let's Go Girls!" is such a wonderfully uplifting sentiment now, but it's just something I said during the recording in the studio and I guess that's the same for Giddy Up! These lines come to me when I'm thinking about how to put a little "pep in my step". I want people to feel good when they hear the new album. I want to set a celebratory tone and "Giddy up!" Is a way to call to the audience and say "let's get ready for some fun!"
In other big news, Shania recently earned the "Music Icon" award at the 2022 People's Choice Awards, and she lit up the stage with a rapturous performance.
Queen of Me consists of 12 new tracks. From the energetic opener "Giddy Up!" through the empowered title track "Queen of Me" and passionate finale "The Hardest Stone," produced by and featuring Tyler Joseph/Twenty One Pilots, the LP represents a deep and dynamic creative statement from this iconic voice. She set the stage for everything with the single "
Waking Up Dreaming" which Rolling Stone called "a shot of caffeinated bliss" and The Today Show called "an absolute bop."
Shania was also announced as a headliner for Rock the Ocean's Tortuga Festival, alongside
Eric Church and Kenny Chesney. The star-studded festival will take place on April 14-16, 2023 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. For more information, go HERE:
