This is Shania Twain’s advice to country songwriters: Go deeper, especially if you are writing songs women might sing.
“It’s not about being tough or writing lyrics about being strong or sassy,” she said in a recent interview with Macleans, a Canadian magazine. “It is deeper than that. I think it’s about true self-awareness and having a real vision of where you belong in society. It’s not about conveying a superficial, ultra-beautiful, boss-warrior. We can go deeper than that.”
We can, and she did.
Twain was unafraid to tackle some real issues in the ‘90s, but she knows that those songs might have come across as man-bashing tunes.
