Shania Twain repersents country music very commerically. Her albums and singles (of what i have heard) have been fantastic. Her songs are consistant and they show definite talent and songwriting talent. Her voice is great and adapts to country pop and pop ballads. Shania Twain's tracks are fairly country but have ranged to the likes of pop and rock as well. Shania Twain's had many albums out, the self titled ''Shania Twain'' was not recieved commerically ...

...she was saved. The Woman In Me is the first album Twain and Lange wrote together, and is the album that they fell in love making. This is Shania's second album, her debut was a Nashville record but this one, Shania says, is all her. Shania has put her heart and soul into this record, and it shows. Unlike Shania's later albums, The Woman In Me consists mainly of ballads. 'Home Aint Where His Heart Is, Anymore' is the opening track and is my personal ...
...a song about what a woman wants in a man. "Any man of mine'll say it fits just right, when last year's dress is just a little too tight, and anything I do or say better be okay when I have a bad hair day" a mix of Shania's sassiness and attitude has made this song a hit amongst Shania fans everywhere.

After her amazing tribute to classic country songs on the Timeless album, Martina McBride returns to a more familiar sound with this latest album. Her voice is as powerful and emotional as ever - how such a strong voice comes out of such a small lady is beyond me! There's some strong contenders on this album for song of the year. Loveland is a stunning and heart wrenching song with a memorable melody and moving lyrics. The title track will have you ...
...do whilst listening to music! I've followed Martina's career since she was supporting Garth Brooks on tour in 1993 and I have to say this is one of her best albums yet.

Now we just need her to tour in support of it! ... Read review

Advantages: less poppy than her previous release
Disadvantages: the ballards

...Opening with the title track Family the album starts well, the country start becomes a rockier track which covers all the reasons a family is what it is, and how it is, certainly it seems Leann has been lucky enough to have a family who have kept her rooted despite her success. Next up is Nothin Better to do, followed up by Fight, the first ballardish on the album, a nice track which would fit in to the commercial market quite nicely, and is the ...
...has a similar theme to Family in that it is an observation that despite our differences people all want to have love, another poppy sounding song it has to be one of the best on the album. Nothin Wrong is another more country song on the album, it is a duet with Marc Broussard and talks about the challenge pf staying faithful to a partner when faced with someone you fancy who isnt your partner. It has become quite firmly stuck in my head much to ... Read review
