Hi, FT Weekend listeners, this is Lulu Smith. I'm filling in for Lila this week.

And to start off this episode, I want to tell you about this really distinct memory I have of growing up in the 90s.

I'm driving around with my siblings in my mum's car, and for once she's let us choose the song.

The windows are down, our hands are in the air,

and we're belting along to this song, which is playing at full blast.

Let's go, girls.

Come on.

I'm going out tonight. Shania Twain is one of the best-selling female artists of all time.

She's had three diamond albums, and she's sold over 100 million records.

And for many people, like me, her music epitomises the sound of the 90s.

Chances are you probably know all the lyrics to at least one of her songs,

whether it's That Don't Impress Me Much.

Or, you're Still the One?

Shania's music was everywhere when I was growing up, and it's never really gone away.

But in the early 2000s, Shania herself disappeared.

In 2003, at the peak of her fame, Shania contracted Lyme disease.

And of all the things that it could have affected, it hit the nerves in her vocal cords. I couldn't stand to hear myself sing. I could only

sing a very specific place in my voice. So it was heartbreaking and frustrating for me and so a lot of

the time I just stayed away from it. Yeah. And did other things with my life.

That's Shania talking to me a couple of weeks ago.

Now at 58, she's back in full swing.

She's just released an extended version of her iconic 90s album Come On Over.
