Here’s a combination that nobody saw coming. The ’90s country-pop megastar and Angine De Poitrine fan Shania Twain has a new album called Little Miss Twain on the way, and her new single features Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme.
Shania Twain recorded Little Miss Twain with producer Zach Dawes, who is not in the band Dawes but who used to be in Mini Mansions and who has worked extensively with people like Lana Del Rey and the Arctic Monkeys. The album is billed as a return to Twain’s roots, and she did in fact make one regular self-titled country album in 1993, before she started cranking out multi-platinum Mutt Lange productions. I don’t know how much Little Miss Twain will sound like that, though.
Shania Twain wrote “Faded Blue Jeans,” a churning country-rock tune with a big chorus. Josh Homme sings backup on the chorus, but this isn’t one of those situations where you can barely hear the song’s guest star. When Homme chimes in, you can instantly tell that it’s him, and the track feels different with him on it. It follows the Little Miss Twain title track, which features country legend Tanya Tucker. Hear “Faded Blue Jeans” below.
Little Miss Twain is out 7/24 on Republic.
