UP! was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "Forever And For Always" was nominated for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and for Best Country Song.
UP! marks Shania Twain's emergence from a five-year hiatus that found her absconding to Switzerland and having a child with husband/producer/collaborator Robert "Mutt" Lange. As ever, Twain continues to be the master of the pop crossover.
Regardless of the genre, Twain and Lange continue to make a formidable pop-writing team. The two manage to craft catchy cuts on topics ranging from mundane situations in a relationship like who's behind the wheel (the sassy "In My Car [I'll Be The Driver]") to weightier fare like rampant materialism (a mechanized "Ka-Ching!") and female empowerment (the soaring "She's Not Just A Pretty Face"). Otherwise, Twain tills the fertile nuances of romance via convincing balladry that touches on dalliances with the green-eyed devil (a heartfelt "I'm Jealous") and rock-solid pledges of fidelity (an ethereal "Forever And For Always") guaranteed to be 2003's quintessential wedding song.
Personnel includes: Shania Twain (vocals); Jon Willis (acoustic guitar, banjo, bouzouki, mandolin); Heitor Perreira (acoustic, electric & Spanish guitar, mandolin); Michael Thompson (electric guitar, slide guitar, bouzouki); Brent Mason (electric guitar); Cory Churko (slide guitar); Paul Franklin (pedal steel); Jonathan Yudkin (mandolin, violin, cello); Irish Film Orchestra, The Leahy's (strings); Simon & Diamond Duggal (percussion).
