Shania Twain: Come On Over
 The come-from-nowhere success of Shania Twain's previous
album, The Woman In Me, proved that the world was ready for a combination of
traditional instruments, girl-power themes, and dance-pop dynamics. Whether
Twain is a modern-day Dolly Parton or a country music Spice Girl is a matter of
perspective. But with her third album, she accentuates the sing-along choruses
and simple dance rhythms while downplaying the country elements. As a pop move,
it works wonderfully for her, earning Twain a valued spot on MTV, VH-1, and pop
radio. The emphasis is on fun rather than depth, of course. But no one can
accuse her of being stingy: She and her Svengali-like producer/husband,
slick-rock king Robert "Mutt" Lange (Def Leppard, Bryan Adams,
AC/DC), load down the album with 16 songs, all of them quite radio-friendly.
