Uusi Shania Twain Up 2CD (2002) - Ilmainen Toimitus

When Up ! was released in November

2002, Shania Twain revealed in one of

many promotional interviews that she wri-

tes far more songs than can fit on her re-

cords and that she hides any personal,

introspective songs she pens, not even

playing them for her husband and colla-

borator Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Now,

this is certainly a psychological quirk

worth exploring, but it also suggests why

Twain's albums are such brilliant pieces

of mainstream pop. Anything that doesn't

fit the mold is discarded, so the album

can hum along on its big, polished, multi-

purpose hooks and big, sweeping emoti-

ons. This is Super-Size pop, as outsized

and grandiose as good pop should be.

And, unlike the work of most pop divas,

where the subject matter is firmly about

the singer, none of the songs on Up! are

remotely about Shania Twain, the person

- let's face it, she's never faced a situation

like "Waiter! Bring Me Water!" where she's

afraid her guy is going to be stolen away

by their hot waitress. No, these songs ha-

ve been crafted as universal anthems, so

listeners can hear themselves within the-

se tales. Just as cleverly, the songs are

open-ended and mutable - always melo-

dic but never stuck in any particular style,

so they can be subjected to any kind of

mix and sound just as good. (Indeed, Up!

was initially released in no less than three

different mixes - the "Red" pop mix and

the "Green" country mix; sometimes the

differences in mixes were so slight, it

sounded like nothing was changed, but

each mix revealed how sturdy and melo-

dic the structure of each of the 19 songs

was, and how they were designed to

sound good in any setting.) True, the

sheer length of the album could be seen

as off-putting at first since these 19 tracks

don't necessarily flow as a whole. Then

again, part of the genius of Up! is that it's

designed as a collection of tracks, so the

album is durable enough to withstand

years on the charts, producing singles

with different textures and moods every

few months. Time revealed Come on

Over as a stellar pop album, and the sa-

me principle works for Up!. Upon the first

listen singles seem indistinct and it seems

like too much to consume at once but on-

ce you know the lay of the land the hooks

become indelible and the gargantuan

glossiness of the production is irresistible.

In other words, it's a more than worthy

follow-up to the great mainstream pop al-

bum of the late '90s, and proof that when

it comes to shiny, multipurpose pop, no-

body does it better than Shania Twain.
