barDe just released “What the Hell, Hey” and I’m convinced she’s been hiding in my apartment during every terrible dating experience I’ve ever had. This Manchester newcomer has somehow turned the specific hell of being ghosted into something you can actually blast in your car.

The whole track feels like having a conversation with someone who gets it. Not the sanitized version where you pretend you’re fine, but the real version where you’re equal parts furious and confused and maybe laughing because what else can you do at this point.

Her voice carries this edge that cuts through all the usual breakup song nonsense. When she hits certain lines, it sounds like she’s rolling her eyes so hard they might fall out of her head. There’s zero patience for people who can’t handle basic communication, and honestly, good for her.

The guitar work pulls you back to those 90s songs that made you feel like your problems were epic instead of just embarrassing. It’s got weight to it, like each chord is punctuating another point in her argument against whoever inspired this track.

What makes this different from every other “he done me wrong” song is how she owns the whole mess. She’s not asking for pity or trying to win anyone back. She’s just stating facts and letting you decide what to do with them.

This is apparently just the opening statement from her upcoming album “The Pretty Red Flag Revival,” which sounds like it’s going to be required listening for anyone who needs a reality check about their relationship patterns. She’s already got “Future Faker” lined up for August, and based on this preview, that’s going to hurt in all the right ways.

I’ve been playing this on repeat for days now, and it’s not getting old. Sometimes you need a song that matches your energy instead of trying to calm you down. This is exactly that song.

Five-time GRAMMY Award-winning global icon Shania Twain has announced a major run of outdoor shows across the UK and Ireland for June 2027, including headlining State Fayre, the UK’s largest music and BBQ festival, on Saturday 19 June.

The eight-date run begins at Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre on 16 June, before Shania heads to Glasgow Summer Sessions at Bellahouston Park, State Fayre Festival in Chelmsford, Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields, Live at Powderham in Exeter, Dublin’s Marlay Park, Belsonic in Belfast and finally culminating at Oxfordshire’s Blenheim Palace Festival on 29 June.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 6 November at 9am.

The announcement follows the release of Little Miss Twain – The Places I’ll Go, the deluxe edition of Shania’s acclaimed seventh studio album, Little Miss Twain. Released this July, Little Miss Twain marked a significant and deeply personal chapter for Shania. After more than three decades as one of the most successful and influential artists in music, the global superstar turned back to the beginning, revisiting the experiences, sounds and memories that shaped her before the world knew her name.

Drawing from her childhood and teenage years growing up in Canada, the acclaimed album traces the roots of her singular sound across country, pop, rock, soul and bluegrass, offering a revealing portrait of the influences behind an artist who would go on to reshape the boundaries of country and pop music. The album also features an exceptional lineup of collaborators, including Tanya Tucker, T Bone Burnett, Ronnie Wood, Josh Homme, Ray Parker Jr., and Toto’s David Paich. With Little Miss Twain – The Places I’ll Go, Shania expands that story, offering an even deeper look at the formative experiences and musical influences behind both the artist and icon she would become.

Also recently released was the audiobook of Shania’s 2011 memoir, From This Moment On, now available with narration from Shania herself. The bestselling book traces her tumultuous rise to stardom and features a new foreword with personal reflections on her journey.

Shania’s influence remains as far-reaching as ever. In 2027, she will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Come On Over and the 25th anniversary of Up!, two era-defining albums that transformed country and pop music, broke barriers around the world and cemented her status as a global icon. With a huge run of live dates in 2027, and a biopic chronicling her life and career also in development, Shania continues to look ahead while celebrating the music and milestones that have defined her extraordinary career.
