Martina McBride has switched producers for her upcoming album, Shine, scheduled for release on March 24. The new project is produced by Dann Huff, an in-demand studio guitarist whose production credits include Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts and Keith Urban. "I wanted to move forward, production-wise, which isn't always easy," McBride said. "I think it was time to find somebody with a different, fresh perspective on my music. I felt like I needed someone to help me do things a bit differently, and I instinctively felt Dann was right for the job." McBride's first single from the album is "Ride." Nearly all of McBride's previous music was produced or co-produced by Paul Worley, whose other credits include Big & Rich and the Dixie Chicks.
