## Summary

Shania Twain’s seventh studio album, *Little Miss Twain*, draws on her childhood and the years before she signed a recording contract, a period she says she has rarely written about. The album offers fans a more personal account of her early life and reflects the varied musical influences behind her development as a crossover artist.

Released in July, the record moves among country, pop, soul and Americana, without a single genre guiding its creation. Twain grew up in Timmins, Ontario, listening to artists including Dolly Parton, Stevie Wonder, Kris Kristofferson, the Bee Gees, Johnny Cash and Tanya Tucker, who joins her on the title track. Twain says she began writing songs at 10; an expanded edition, *The Places I’ll Go*, followed in October.
