[edit] Review

Mercury taps even deeper into Twain's six-times platinum The Woman In Me by releasing a sixth single off the album. From the song's catchy cold intro throughout this lively number, Lange and Twain serve up an infectious concoction that boasts a lighter, fresher sound than her previous outings. The harmonica-accented production has a cool kind of retro feel, and Twain sounds like she's enjoying the tune. Should help her sell a few more records.
