Like everyone else, the Canadian singer and
songwriter was cooped up during the pandemic. But instead of
navel gazing, Twain, 57, said she put herself in a playful frame
of mind.
Now, she wants everyone to rejoice with her as the pandemic
subsides.
"There's so many things to celebrate right now and we are still
in celebration mode. That's the mode I'm in and I sense it with
the fans as well," she said.
As an asthmatic, Twain's battle with COVID was bad and developed
into pneumonia, she said in an interview with Apple Music 1.
"Every day my lungs were filling up with inflammation. Within 12
days, I was pretty much dying."
After recovering, she drew inspiration by recording her new
album. Released on Feb. 3, it already has two singles - the
line-dancing upbeat country number "Giddy Up!" and the
aspirational and catchy "Waking Up Dreaming."
"When I'm getting into the songwriting mode, I'm just dreaming.
I'm playing with my imagination, I'm letting it go, I'm in dream
mode," she said. "It's my dreams that set my goals."
Twain, who has sold more than 85 million albums, began singing
when she was 3 years old, and by 8 played at bars to help her
family pay the bills.
The country music phenomenon is ready to tour the world with her
new album, starting out in Spokane, Washington, in April and
finishing in Vancouver, British Columbia, in mid-November.
