Shania Up for More Dates

Having taken a three-year break from touring following the monstrous success of 1999's Come on Over, Shania Twain has been back at it with a vengeance. The crossover country star released Up! a year ago and began a long string of North American dates in September that will wrap on December 20th in Las Vegas.

And the shows keep coming: Twain will break briefly for the holidays before kicking off a twenty-seven-date run on January 20th in Helsinki. Her second North American itinerary will begin on April 6th in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and stretch thirty-seven dates into mid-June.

"I want this show to be a huge party," Twain said earlier this year. "The stage will be set up in a way that puts me in the middle of my fans, which is right where I want to be."

Song Stories

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
