Shania Twain’s “UP!” Album is great and brings back a lot of memories.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
I've purchased Shania Twain CDs prior to 1994, long before a majority of listeners teeter-tottered w/a variety of different genres and recognized Shania Twain as a serious formidable artist. Friends & family used to laugh at me and mock me whenever I sang along with her songs in '94; now even the men sing her songs. In one short year in '95 when The Woman In Me CD came out, Any Man Of Mine made it even more cool to be country. This became especially true when Shania met controversy over her midriff showing on the Any Man Of Mine music video and was snickered at as an overpaid lap dancer when she made the Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under music video. She pushed music video styles up more than a notch and a half. Fast forward - the "Come On Over" CD prompted thousands of romantics to choose "You're Still the One" and "From This Moment" as their wedding song or just a special song chosen by as "their" song. When the CD Up! was released, some came as a special 2-CD Special Edition set of the (RED CD)carrying Pop/Rock arrangements and the (GREEN CD). The (RED) Pop/Rock CD is so refreshing because even though the lyrics, music and style was all Shania, all the songs had a different melody and various tempos, with complicated arrangements of certain sound effects that added that special oomph to all her songs. The fact that every single song released on her four latest CDs was penned and arranged by Shania and her reclusive husband, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, is phenomenol to an avid music listener like me who owns close to a thousand CDs, if not there already. I marvel at the recording geniuses on Shania's CDs who mix these recordings w/sound effects so it works where it is most important - the listener's ear and heart. When you listen to this CD, you will recognize all these factors - even if you were not previously a Shania fan. I truly like and appreciate every song on this CD because listening to any of her songs is quite uplifting, I can repeat the CD over and over and not get tired of any of it. Take the time to view Shania's music videos for what appears to be simple songs with complicated arrangements and you will be captivated. The icing on the cake for the Up! CD is the mix of the COUNTRY VERSION (Green CD)which is so much fun to listen to as you pick out the steel guitars and fiddles, injected just to pitch that country flavor. It is my opinion that if you enjoy listening to and truly appreciate Shania Twain on the Up! Pop/Rock (Red CD), then once you listen and enjoy the Country (Green CD), you may, just may, become a Pop/Rock/Country teeter-totter. Just to note, my purchase of this CD on eBay was to replace my stolen Up! CD which I had purchased since its release in 2002. I have the latest Shania "Greatest Hits" CD, which covers hits The Woman In Me, Come On Over, Up! CDs & four new songs included, since its release in 2004. "I Ain't No Quitter" is FANTASTIC!!! What a treat to find an artist whose lyrics make sense because you could almost apply it everywhere and whose singing abilities is all her own - no copying here - and with killer looks, to boot. If you don't already own the Up! CD, get one NOW, perhaps on eBay. If you can get the Red/Green 2-CD Special Edition, you have to pick it up - you will not be disappointed. I appreciate eBay's invitation to post a review of my experience with this CD; thus, affording me the opportunity to render the viewpoints of just one music lover to others.Read full review
The cd has Shania singing with that smooth melodic voice. He energy, sass and playfulness come out in every song. Her compassion and passion can be felt in other ballads.
