Josh Homme Joins Shania Twain on ‘Faded Blue Jeans’
The new song draws on one of the singer’s teenage relationships.
Shania Twain has released “Faded Blue Jeans,” a new single featuring Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. The track is the final preview of Twain’s seventh studio album, Little Miss Twain, which will arrive July 24 through Republic Nashville.
Twain wrote “Faded Blue Jeans” by herself, drawing inspiration from one of her teenage relationships and the belief that young love could last forever. Homme contributes vocals to the song, which looks back on first love, adolescent defiance, and the experiences that shaped Twain’s early years.
Little Miss Twain centers on memories, relationships, people, and places from the singer-songwriter’s formative years. The album incorporates country, pop, rock, soul, and bluegrass while presenting material rooted in Twain’s personal history. “Faded Blue Jeans” follows the previously released tracks “Dirty Rosie” and “Little Miss Twain,” the album’s title song. The record will be Twain’s first full-length release since Queen of Me arrived in February 2023.
