The wait is over! Country superstar Shania Twain, 51, will release
first album in 15 years after painful divorce sidelined her

One of country music's biggest stars is getting back in the saddle.

Shania Twain announced this summer she will be releasing her first album in 15 years.

The 51-year-old songstress will drop the lead single Life's About to Get Good in June, with the untitled album to follow in September.

'It's been such a long time since I put out a studio album,' she told Entertainment Tonight. 'I wrote the whole album myself, so it's a real statement of independence.'

Her last album Up! rose to number one on the Billboard charts after its release in 2002.

The new album will be five-time Grammy winner's fifth overall, following up Shania Twain (1993), The Woman in Me (1995), Come On Over (1997) and Up!

'Creative independence is something that I haven't had in a really long time,' Twain noted referencing her break up from long time producer and ex-husband Mutt Lange.

That break up proved extremely painful, but had a fairy tale ending.

After fifteens years of marriage, Twain found out that her best friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud was having an affair with her husband Mutt. It was Marie-Anne's husband Frederic Thiebaud that told Twain.

Ironically, after both couples separated in 2010, Twain and Frederic found solace with each other and have been happily together since. They married in 2011.

'It was really scary taking that leap. The album's done, and I feel really good.'

'The first single is so optimistic and hopeful — regardless of how bad life could get. I really needed that message,' she added.

Twain is working with new producers Jake Gosling, Ron Aniello, Jacquire King, and songwriter-producer Matthew Koma.

The singer will be hitting the road to headline Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California on April 29.

There she will debut her new single. And perhaps her other hits that include From This Moment On, You're Still The One and the seminal Man! I Feel Like A Woman!
