Shania Twain is kicking off the weekend with an extended version of her empowering Queen Of Me album, just in time to perform the first show on her highly-anticipated global tour. Twain’s Queen Of Me: Royal Edition offers five new tracks, including a collaboration with Breland, a Malibu Babie remix and an acoustic rendition of the title track.
“I am FREAKING OUT,” Breland, who previously released a Twain-inspired summer anthem, wrote in a comment on Twain’s Instagram post on Friday. “[Shania Twain] today many childhood dreams of mine have come true.”
“You’ve embraced the new album in exactly the way it was intended - pure celebration!” Twain wrote in an Instagram caption as she announced the Royal Edition earlier this month. “This version includes a couple of rogue tracks that didn’t quite fit the concept but are such important songs to me personally that I wanted to share with you - and a feature that happened serendipitously and gave me smiles for miles!”
Twain officially launched her Queen Of Me era, marked by a renewed sense of confidence and courage, when she released the original 12-track album earlier this year. The original 12-track project includes “Queen Of Me,” “Inhale/Exhale AIR,” “Best Friend,” Waking Up Dreaming” and “Giddy Up!,” among other fan-favorites. Twain’s tour, stretching to the end of 2023, includes special guests Kelsea Ballerini, Lindsay Ell, Hailey Whitters, Breland, Robyn Ottolini, Priscilla Block, and Mickey Guyton.
