She mentions that she wrote 130 songs for this album !!

As I sit here in the AXS waiting room to obtain my Red Rocks tickets to see Remi, I just want to say this is truly her moment. I've never had so many people in my life talking about her. A straight male friend even texted me out of the blue the other day to say this album is perfection and to make sure I agreed with that sentiment. Not that her fanbase is mostly gays, but it's mostly gays and girlies in my life that listen to Miss Wolf. The reception for this album has been so exciting as she gains new fans and people grow with her in this new evolved sound. World Cafe is posting a special Remi performance tomorrow btw!

You need to take a trip to the Kitty Palace

Not sure why the Kimmel performance of "I Won't Cry" isn't on YouTube, but I was able to watch it and unsurprisingly she sounded and looked flawless. I only recognize one of the band members so it seems she's got a new lineup of musicians for the upcoming tour. I'm obsessed with "Champagne" and "Burn Me Blue". The vocal stacking she does with Jared Solomon and their signature crunchy guitar riffs massage my ears every time. The tour also got announced today and what a blessing that she's playing Red Rocks again. I'm gonna scream my head off the whole show.

I wish she would tour

Shania was absolutely in her prime vocally and creatively for the making of this one. I think a lot of the magic came from being in Switzerland and having her newborn son in the studio with her. The high notes in "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing" are amazing. I think "Waiter! Bring Me Water" is such a unique title and the writing is so clever. The international promo was insane too. She performed on probably dozens of TV shows at the beginning of this era. The music videos are iconic; "When You Kiss Me" is lowkey beautiful. And then there's the concert special in Chicago where she performs deep cuts like "Juanita" and sounds flawless. Crazy that next year is the the 25th anniversary. I remember her revealing one song each day on her website leading up to the release. And the little insert with the CD that had a personal note from Shania in that signature Up! font. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CS7RIgiJmSO/

For some reason it took me a long time to actually listen to this whole album and realize its greatness. I think the lead singles didn't do it for me and so I was dismissive, but the deep cuts are where it shines. I was also seeing someone when I first became familiar with this track and so it hit extra hard. He was not craving to see me like I was craving to see him though. Other highlights from this album for me are You First, Figure 8, and Big Man. And if you haven't checked out the remixed version of this album, Remi Wolf does incredile work with You First.

The way I immediately adjusted my posture after opening this thread

Sis is so deserving of this just listened to the album too and this is some of her best work

She will smash undoubtedly.

I started a 401K this year. I'm in my early 30s so it's late, but at least I have one now.

the John Mayer feature ‼️

I don't think it really counts, but I have a Shania fan page on Instagram that her official account follows where she and her husband, Fred, have interacted with it many times. It has over 14K followers and I'm not consistent with the posts, but I enjoy editing the videos!

So where is the tour announcement?

I got to listen to this show in its entirety on the SiriusXM app and she sounded incredible! We need more intimate performances like this one.

When do we think she'll officially announce the tour? Long-time band member Brent Barcus confirmed in an Instagram comment that it's definitely happening. This will be my 3rd time seeing Shania in concert and I think it's time I splurge for VIP tickets. I've been a stan since before I could talk and somehow I have never met her or gotten a photo. I know damn well it will be a standard arena tour, but this would be the perfect album and Right Time for her to do smaller, intimate venues like the recent Horseshoe Tavern show. I could die happy if I got to see Shania at a venue like that.

My twiggy little booty is ready for RW3

YES! The ageism here is real!

The transformation of Tones and I is not talked about enough

Northern Town, Right Time, Problematic, and Rockstars really stand out to me in my first listen. Rockstars especially - the vocal production is great. She did say it's her favorite. Overall the album is very country which I think serves it well. That's the Money was super feel good. The descriptive lyrics are so immersive and really speak to her gifts with songwriting. The first verse on Northern Town I'm glad she's come into this iteration of her voice and is fully embracing it. The live vocal on Dirty Rosie from recent shows and the Fallon appearance >>>

As a daily viewer, I both love and hate when table implodes like this

Sadly the bus system in my city sucks. Driving to work takes 15 to 20 minutes whereas the bus takes around 1.5 hours. It adds so much time to my day and it's such a shame because I actually enjoy public transportation. I love people watching and seeing the city from the perspective of large bus windows. For now I mostly stick to my poor little car that has recently surpassed 212,000 miles.
