Having begun work on her first album since 2002’s Up!, Twain told US chatshow Watch What Happens Live: “I needed to get over a different hill in my career without my ex-husband before tackling an album. Now that I’m through Vegas and that was a success, I built a lot of confidence.”According to Twain’s 2012 autobiography From This Moment On, she and Lange split when he began a relationship with Twain’s best friend. Twain said on Watch What Happens Live: “I wish I’d never met her. I can’t say I’d be better off, because I think I’ve learned a lot from that. I don’t regret it.”Lange has recently finished producing Muse’s new album Drones, which is released on June 8. Twain releases live DVD Still The One: Live From Vegas on March 23.
