The latest news from Leann Rimeshttp://www.leannrimesworld.com/news<p>From Nashville Skyline:</p> <p>I first encountered LeAnn Rimes one day in the mid-1990s as one of my first visitors in my new job as Billboards Nashville bureau chief.</p> <p>Billboard then still had an actual physical headquarters in Nashville, on Music Square West (aka 17th Avenue South). They were fairly nice offices overlooking Rebas regal office building across the intersection, which I think still had a helipad on the roof until all the recording studio owners in the neighborhood complained about the excessive noise and vibrations.<br /> <br /> After office hours on pleasant summer Friday afternoons we would often crank up some nice music, get out the blender to whiz up pitchers of margaritas and play Twister in the office. Until, that is, the Billboard Puritan police heard that some people might be actually having fun in the Nashville office and ordered the refrigerator, blender and boombox to be locked up in the office storage space for banned items. Along with the dreaded Twister board.<br /> <br /> Anyhow, into this atmosphere one day walked a 13-year-old LeAnn Rimes, with her talkative, somewhat aggressive manager-father Wilbur Rimes leading the way. Wilbur and LeAnn immediately reminded me very much of the teenaged Tanya Tucker and her talkative, somewhat aggressive manager-father Beau Tucker, whom I had met in similar circumstances years before. Then, I had been convincingly impressed enough by Tanyas performances and vocal chops to the extent that I went on a summer Midwest bus tour of fairs with her and the Tucker clan and got my Tanya tour story and profile on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.<br /> <br /> But it was tougher these days to get a slightly chubby, big-voiced teen prodigy any major publicity. Wilbur talked a good story -- major shows and local press all around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. LeAnn was modest and charming. They left me some music and clippings and headed out on the next stop of their Nashville door-knocking tour.<br /> <br /> LeAnns rendition of I discovered when I played it that night at home, was exciting and captivating. She was virtually channeling the very spirit of Patsy Cline in this big ballad that an old hero of mine, Fort Worths WBAP disc jockey Bill Mack had written supposedly for Patsy before her early demise prevented her from recording it.<br /> <br /> LeAnns version was terrific. But it arrived in the wrong era. Mainstream country radio didnt want Patsy Cline anymore. It wanted Shania Twain and Faith Hill. LeAnns single of made it to No. 10 in Billboard in 1996, although the album Bluemade it to No. 1. And it was enough to get her a foothold in Nashville.<br /> <br /> Oddly, to this day, Rimes only No. 1 country single is One Way Ticket (Because I Can), also from 1996.<br /> <br /> The following year, both Rimes and Trisha Yearwood recorded dueling versions of the anthem How Do I Live from the movie Con Air. Yearwood got a Grammy and a No. 2 country hit with her version. Rimes went to No. 43 on the country chart.<br /> <br /> But it was a pop hit for Rimes. Subsequent recordings found her focusing more on pop music.<br /> <br /> Years of tabloid press coverage of romantic entanglements and strife and lawsuits and endless bikini photos of her on the beach followed, and you just started to wonder what had happened to LeAnn Rimes, the great singer.<br /> <br /> Well, it looks like she may be back. Her new album Spitfire has an immediacy and a force that I havent heard from her in years. She turned to producer-songwriter Darrell Brown for guidance on the album.<br /> <br /> Such thoughtful songs as A Waste Is a Terrible Thing to Mind, ve Ruined Me and What Have I Done suggest a new more mature, inward-looking turn for Rimes.<br /> <br /> Guest artists on the album include Jeff Beck, Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski and Rob Thomas. Ill be curious to see howSpitfire does.</p> <p>NASHVILLE SKYLINE is a column by CMT/<a href="http://CMT.com">CMT.com</a> Editorial Director Chet Flippo</p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Wed, 15 May 2013 15:46:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/150691<p>Check out these two recent interviews with LeAnn Rimes where she talks about the beginning of her music career all the way up to the release of her latest album Spitfire.</p> <p><a href="http://channelnine.ninemsn.com.au/videos/mornings/?uuid=3dafa1d3-fe33-4971-91aa-75298b837fb6">Channel 9 Mornings</a></p> <p><a href="http://today.ninemsn.com.au/videoindex.aspx?uuid=5d294f19-03ea-44c5-9dd8-902461d55bc0">The Today Show</a></p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Fri, 10 May 2013 15:03:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/150111<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/leann_rimes/media/00/01/images/assets/medium.z62xGfO8U94C0ZcGGw3gWyIWNtQbf8DmPOfTpnnaV10.jpg" /><br /><p>During the past few years, LeAnn Rimes private life has become tabloid fodder, the result of the publics insatiable appetite for titillation. Being the constant subject of gossip, rumor and innuendo was understandably horrific for Rimes. So, in a sustained act of self-therapy, the 31-year-old artist, whos been making records since the age of 13, set about working through the intense emotions she was feeling in the songs she was writing, while also seizing on a handful of outside songsnotably including Missy Higgins powerful Where I Stoodthat perfectly expressed her tormented state of mind.<br /> <br /> Songwriter/producer/arranger Darrell Brown, who has been Rimes writing partner and friend for more than a decade, was a willing facilitator in this outpouring, serving at once as co-writer, exorcist, cheerleader and shoulder to cry on. He was acutely aware of Rimes need to fearlessly let it all hang out. is about an affair, and how pathetic she felt finding herself in the middle of something, Brown says of one of the albums cornerstones. She didnt know she could be that honest. Dan Wilson, who co-wrote and I Do Now with them in a two-day session, describes the results of their collaboration as very revealing, exposed and raw.<br /> <br /> A lot of crappy things made for some great songsthank God I have that outlet, says Rimes. But I hadnt used it to its fullest before. Everything that was true was out there, and those things that werent true people believed anyway. So I felt like I had nothing to hide anymore. A humanity started coming out through the writinga lot of tears were shed. And the songs I didnt write I felt were incredible; I couldnt write them any better.<br /> <br /> When the songs had all been written and selected, Rimes and Brown faced the challenge of how to bring this thematically taut material to life in the studio. The recording approach they chose hewed just as closely to keeping it real as did the songs theyd be cutting. I wanted to be authentic and honest on this record, says Rimes.<br /> <br /> Says associate producer and engineer Niko Bolas, whos been working with Brown for nearly 30 years: Most of what I do is based on the way I was brought up, which was making Ronstadt and Henley records back in the day, when everybody went for performance around the vocal. LeAnn has been through a tumultuous couple of years, and she collected a group of songs that lyrically carries everyone who wants to know the truth from beginning to end, how it tore her up and how she found peace and resolve. So the idea was to deliver her believing the words. If you can get somebody who can sing like LeAnn can sing believing what shes singing, then whatever emotion shes feeling, you get it. And thats what Darrell wanted to get.<br /> <br />  Brown puts their shared intent more succinctly: s like the old dayss freaking capture it.<br /> <br /> Because Im a songwriter first, Im primarily song-driven as a producer, Brown continues. I want to know what the narrative is and what the singers singing, and then I start casting accordingly from that. For this project, he says, I thought about what characters would be interesting to put into the room to challenge her. He also wanted the range of players to represent the various aspects of Rimes sensibilitythe Texas and Appalachian strains in her voice, the R&B/soul/blues thing she got from being born in Mississippi and raised in Texas. So we got Steve Jordan [drums] and Willie Weeks [bass] to play on the bottom end, and then Dan Tyminski [mandolin, acoustic guitar], Paul Franklin [pedal steel], Waddy Wachtel and Dean Parks [acoustic guitars] on top, with everybody playing off each other.<br /> <br /> The rest of Browns A-team consisted of engineers Bolas and Steve Genewick, whod be on the other side of the glass while Brown conducted, danced and kept the players psyched up in the tracking room. Al Schmitt and Vance Powell would do the mixing.<br /> <br /> They tracked the album in Capitol Studio A. We set up the room so that people didnt really have to wear headphones, especially LeAnn, Bolas explains. She stood in the middle of this bed of music and just held the microphone and sang. That was one of her dreamss always wanted to make a record where shes singing for people. Traditionally, recording a vocalist is a very isolated affair. They put on headphones, they go into this world of echo that no one ever hears, theyre in a small box that gets a little stuffy, theyve got this big, expensive microphone hanging in front of them, nothing to do with their hands, glass and a wall between them and the musicians, and the intimacy is fabricated. Most great singers can do that. But if youre standing in front of drums, youre singing with different phrasing than if youre listening to drums on headphones. Theres just no way around it.<br /> <br /> So, with LeAnn, we wanted her in front of people, Bolas continues. The genius of what Darrell was doing was to break down all the isolation so that she had to bring the lyric, just like these guys were bringing the musicianship. And he did it. There were vocals where she wound up in tears over the mic and we couldnt do another take because she had to go fix her makeup.<br /> <br /> I always wanted to hold the microphone in the studio, because I cant stand being confined in an iso booth and singing with this piece of pantyhose material in my faceit drives me absolutely nuts, Rimes laughs. It feels so confining, because I cant put my body into it. So that was the first thing I asked Darrell and Niko when I got in the studio, and Niko was like, Yeah, sure, why not? What I love about Niko is, if he can make it happen, hes going to. So I ended up holding the microphone the whole time; I was lying on the floor half the time, dancing around, wherever I felt comfortable, whatever I wanted to do. It was great to have that open space, to be able to see everyones faces and for them to read my body language, to see where Im going.<br /> <br /> Rimes has a history of blowing out microphones, and these sessions were no different. LeAnn moves so much air when shes on the mic and shes not wearing headphones, Bolas marvels. s not working the mic, shes just singing her lungs out, and diaphragms start flapping. The solution came from Schmitt, who suggested she go with a Neumann 104, the same mic Diana Krall uses in live performance. They tracked the album in six days, and on the seventh day they recut 10 of the tracks, Rimes and the studio band sharing the tracking room of Capitol A with about 50 invited guests who were asked to be completely silent, forming what Brown describes as a human heartbeat orchestra. Three or four of these takes made the album, including the no-brainer single candidate Gasoline and Matches, written by Buddy and Julie Miller, which Rimes heard as a surefire rocker that also furthered the albums thematic thrust. Bolas and Brown then added a pair of crucial overdubs: a vocal by Matchbox Twentys Rob Thomas and a solo by Jeff Beckone of just two electric guitar parts on the album, which Rimes calls the best solo ever. Transmitted via Skype, it was the first thing Beck recorded in his new London home studio.<br /> <br />  The way I interpret my job is you shouldnt know I was there, Bolas explains. So in playback, you should be able to frame, out of the left and right, what happened on the important side of the glass. Data is cheap, so you record at the highest sample rate you can effectively affordif you have a big rig and you can run 192, do itget the mics set up, and get out of the way. Just always be in record, so that when everyone forgets theyre in a studio and follows LeAnn as she dumps her guts, youve got something that will always measurebecause its real. And when its done, all the sounds that LeAnn, Darrell, Jordan, Waddy and all those guys were hearing out on the floor play back sounding like what they were hearing. In other words, if youre standing in front of the guitar, thats the sound you want coming out of the speaker. You dont want some fabricated interpretation of that sound, you want that guitar with that touch, with that feel; all the accents and dynamics are in the hands of the musicians.<br /> <br /> When it came to the mix, Brown and Bolas turned to Schmitt and Powell, who split up the tracks, working separately. Al and Vance immediately got what this record was supposed to be, says Brown. They were gonna keep it full-bodied and make it shine as organically as possible.<br /> <br />  The recording was nice and clear, it had a lot of depth, says Schmitt. But thats Niko. Lets face it, people will buy this record because of the vocal performance and where it sits in the record, so you dont want to bury it. If you listen to any of my records, the vocals are always right in your face. On this record, I was able to use the live chamber at Capitol, No. 4, which is my favorite of all the live chambers. I set that on her voice, and it lifted it right up. LeAnn blew me away; she really is an amazing singer. And most of the songs are great.<br /> <br /> Brown and Bolas integration of old-school values into this state-of-the-art modern recording project extended to the mastering. I recorded everything at 192k and then I cut it to lacquer, says Bolas. Vinyl adds a tools both an equalizer and a compressorin a way that has not been reproduced digitally yet. When it comes off the needle, its like an old friend that youd forgotten about. It started as an experiment. We took a mix that Al had just finished and took it to Ron McMaster, who cut it to vinyl and sampled that to CD, so that you get all the mono compression that happens on the bottom and all of the smooth, warm analog texture thats kinda like a babys cradle around the vocal. I played it for Schmitt and Darrell and they both went nuts. So that was itwe had to do it for the whole album. And that was the last step of congealing Al, Vance and myself, because it unified everybodys interpretations on whats really an album and not just 12 cuts. Its a body of work that, if you listen to it from start to finish, its a range of emotions during a period of her life. When we got done and we played it, LeAnn was in tears and everybody went, what did we just do?<br /> <br />  The songs stand on their own, but the album as a whole really does tell a story, says Rimes with understandable pride. The title track anchors the record and tells you exactly where its going. I do feel like Im spitting fire on this record, because theyre things Ive held in for a long time, and theyre coming out through my music, which is the best way they could. It truly was cathartic to make this record. Im not holding anything back, and I feel like Im more than just a voice now.<br /> <br /> Life happened, and I got to make an album of honest music, she continues. None of us wanted it to end, we had such a great time. I feel like we went back in time, almost, making this album, and I cant make an album any other way from here on out.</p> <p>Check out the original article by Bud Scoppa for Mixonline.com <a href="http://mixonline.com/recording/artists_engineers_producers/reality_bites_the_making_of_leann_rimes_spitfire//index.html">here</a>.</p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Fri, 10 May 2013 14:54:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/150101<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/leann_rimes/media/07/13/images/assets/medium.4lHdxfCcnG2FqFsOAYwRm5woLlxpDaTqb2cAe6J6AoI.jpg" /><br /><p>This gurl has definitely not lost her edge!!<br /> <br /> LeAnn Rimes looks better than ever in the very seksi photo that has been honored to grace her upcoming album!<br /> <br /> The pic features the singer with some major bedhead in a dramatic black-and-white print.

Rimes, who co-wrote nine of the songs on her newest offering, says This album is a peek into my world; who I am, what Ive gone through, what my emotions are. s an intimate conversation between me and whoevers listening. I hope Im saying things that are hard for others to express. It certainly took me a lot of work to get to this point. And its still easier to sing these thoughts than it is to say them out loud. The intimacy in my music is just beginning.<br /> <br /> Curb Records is receiving global reviews for LeAnns brilliant album, Spitfire. Her performances with Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20), Jeff Beck, Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminski are amazing and a great representation of LeAnns ability as an artist and songwriter, says Curb Records Chairman, Mike Curb. LeAnn and producer Darrell Brown have created a very special musical adventure that is delivered straight from LeAnns heart. ve always known she is a great singer. This album simply proves outright that LeAnn is a great, multi-faceted artist.<br /> <br /> SPITFIRE is co-produced by Darrell Brown, LeAnns longtime friend, whom she calls her writing soul mate. Rimes speaks of this album as a and says there were several memorable moments along the way from having multi-Grammy award-winning engineer, Al Schmitt (Ray Charles, Natalie Cole, Norah Jones) mix several songs to having Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminsky sing background vocals on What Have I Done?. After ten years of trying to write or record with Rob Thomas, the planets aligned as Rob added an undeniable groove to Gasoline and Matches, which also features the legendary signature guitar stylings of Jeff Beck, whom LeAnn previously worked with on a Barbra Streisand tribute at the Grammys to benefit MusiCares.<br /> <br /> SPITFIRE covers a range of emotions that Ive experienced in my lifetime, from anger to love, from frustrations to letting go, says Rimes.

Rimes is the youngest recipient of a Grammy Award, and was also the first country recording artist to win in the "Best New Artist" category. Rimes has placed 42 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, 13 of which are top-10 hits, and has scored numerous hit singles in her career, including "Cant Fight the Moonlight" which went #1 in 11 countries, and "How Do I Live," which is the second longest charting song ever on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.</p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:23:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/148351<p>When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.<br /> <br /> For LeAnn Rimes, that translates to: If you are caught having an affair with a married man and have your life dissected by tabloids, make a record out of it.<br /> <br /> The country singers latest release, titled "Spitfire," goes back to when Rimes, then married, had an affair with actor and Lifetime movie co-star Eddie Cibrian. The two have since married, but Rimes has become the center of a gossip-filled battle with his ex-wife, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville, over tabloids and Twitter.<br /> <br /> Rimes rose to fame at 13 with the vocally powerful song "Blue," which drew comparisons to Patsy Cline, and scored other big hits including "How Do I Live."<br /> <br /> The 30-year-old cowrote many of the songs on "Spitfire," including "Borrowed" and "What Have I Done." They revisit the time she met Cibrian and her feelings of guilt and falling in love.</p> <p><strong>Q: Why did you decide to make "Spitfire" about your affair?</strong><br /> <br /> A: I didnt set out to take that route. Its how it ended up crafting itself when I wrote the song "Borrowed," which is the most revealing about the situation and how I felt. People think they know me, and what my intentions were. They like to write my life for me. I didnt know how to write that song without being brutally honest about it. Once I wrote that song and "What Have I Done," it kind of took on. It almost started the beginning of a film.<br /> <br /> Its an incredible feeling to take something crappy and make into something to express myself and get it out.<br /> <br /> <strong>Q: Has the album helped you get over the guilt?</strong><br /> <br /> A: It was very cathartic, the humanity of it. You realize youre not the only one. There are so many people who have lived through these songs. Its unfortunate it was played out in public. Its been a struggle and Im in a really good place now. Whenever Im listening to one of the songs Im singing, I fall right back into that moment. I get pretty emotional when I perform. I dont see me being able to be any other way.<br /> <br /> <strong>Q: Have fans given you feedback about this album?</strong><br /> <br /> A: Oh yeah. I approached a lot of topics most people dont want to talk about. A lot of people relate to this more than they want to admit. There have been a lot of men and women who have related to many songs on the record.<br /> <br /> <strong>Q: Do you think men who have public affairs like you did face less criticism than women?</strong><br /> <br /> A: It definitely dragged on way more than it should. We moved on years ago. Its quite amazing to me that men get away with so much more. Not that I wanted to get away with anything. But they come out of it on the other side and its almost like its forgotten and forgiven.<br /> <br /> <strong>Q: How is it to see your life played out in tabloids?</strong><br /> <br /> A: Its frustrating at times. Im trying to look at it from a positive light. People are so interested in me that I sell magazines to them. (Laughs) At the same time, its not easy. People do forget youre human. Its definitely not what I set out to do as a child. I wanted to sing. Thats all I want to do. I want to make music. Its an interesting way to live. Having people here in L.A. following us is kind of hard.<br /> <br /> <strong>Q: You introduce yourself on your Twitter account as human, not as a singer. Why?</strong><br /> <br /> A: Because of celebrity and reality shows, people want drama. We have feelings like everybody else. For me, starting out so young, it takes a different meaning. People were always used to seeing me as this voice and its almost to remind myself, too.<br /> <br /> <strong>Q: In the notes for "Spitfire," you describe growing up and feeling like an alien child. Why?</strong><br /> <br /> A: Being out in public as a kid, people didnt see me as a kid. I always felt kind of removed and detached. I had this huge voice and that was what people knew me for. It was a different way to grow up.</p> <p>Check out the original article by Isadora Rangel for GoErie.com <a href="http://www.goerie.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130427/ENTERTAINMENT0301/304279981/rimes-gives-voice-to-guilt-on-spitfire&template=art">here</a>.</p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Sat, 27 Apr 2013 18:50:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/148111<p>Tickets to see LeAnn Rimes live in the UK this Sept are on sale to the general public now!</p> <p>Check out the dates below, and get your tickets while they are still available:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.gigsandtours.com/tour/leann-rimes/">Sept 14 - Birmingham, UK @ Symphony Hall<br /> Sept 15 - Glasgow, UK @ Glasgow Royal Concert Hall<br /> Sept 16 - Manchester, UK @ Bridgewater Hall<br /> Sept 18 - London, UK @ Hammersmith Apollo</a></p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:12:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/147951<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/leann_rimes/media/11/03/images/assets/medium.88SIjM77eLmPF97zxW6MiK7ORCfVemuBYQweoK8cfvg.png" /><br /><p>For the part four years, a tabloid-skewed version of LeAnn Rimes life has played out online and in public.

Having stayed tight lipped on the subject of her betrayal, Rimes uses her latest release to finally tell her side of the story.<br /> <br /> Declaring the record her coming-of-age release, is without doubt Rimes most mature and most impressive release to date. A brutally honest affair, Rimes veers away from criticism, instead focussing on the confused emotions within which she was so thoroughly embroiled.<br /> <br /> Far from overtly sentimental, is a strikingly open affair, with Rimes openly shouldering the blame and uttering apology, while simultaneously professing love.<br /> <br /> A far cry from 2002s Twisted Angel, which was hailed as the former child stars first coming of age, feels effortless.<br /> <br /> Where the testing Tic Toc felt as if Rimes had a point to prove about her sexual prowess, What Have I Done demonstrates a realisation that sexuality is far from the centre of her universe.<br /> <br /> Equally notable is the spell binding , which deals cuttingly with her affair.<br /> <br /> As the other lady in Cibrians life, Rimes pointedly refers to her new loves former love without an air of malice. While the subject matter may be testing for the listener, the delivery is tender and moving.<br /> <br /> is far from a light hearted listen, but that is not a bad thing. While a lot of Rimes earlier work displayed her vocal prowess, the delivery often overshadowed an attempt to be accepted into the mainstream.<br /> <br /> By being propelled into the tabloids for truly personal reasons, Rimes has been forced to respond with the truth - a move which provokes an honest, open release that offers real insight into a undeniable force of unforgettable musical prowess.<br /> <br /> is a sensational release that will hopefully re-shape and relaunch Rimes as the superstar she deserves to be.</p> <p>Check out the original article by Jeremy Williams via <a href="http://www.yorkshiretimes.co.uk/article/LeAnn-Rimes--Spitfire">Yorkshire News</a>.</p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:01:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/145151<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/leann_rimes/media/12/13/images/assets/medium.ZV8-ONBUy23uKjYQ5HAYrCllQ_eefVO5l4mVrFHuQ6o.jpg" /><br /><p>Pearl native LeAnn Rimes Tweeted links to three new videos from her latest album this week, and the title track, which has an old country, folksy feel, is great. I know that youre a dirty little liar. Im not gonna get stuck in your muck and mire. You make me want to spit fire, are the lyrics.<br /> <br /> Its really one the best songs Ive heard from Rimes in a long time. For a while, it seemed she was stuck singing crossover songs that werent really identifiable as country music, but theres no mistaking this one. Her voice is so much better suited for pure country, and with these three, she doesnt use popular vocal acrobatic tricks like Christina Aguilera and others who get caught up in proving their own range so much, they seem to forget about the actual quality of the song they are trying to perform, something Ive seen Rimes do in the past.<br /> <br /> Im sure and some of the other songs on the album, on some level, are about the stars personal life. Brandi Glanville, a cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, who also happens to be the ex-wife of LeAnns husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, hasnt been shy about talking about her personal issues with Rimes on the reality show. So if this album is a form of payback, its a good one.<br /> <br /> In Rimes sings: I know youre not mine, only borrowed. You already belonged to her, and she said so. But Im starting to believe it aint all true, because when were lying side by side, I get the whole truth.<br /> <br /> All three videos show Rimes recording the songs in a studio, a great way to successfully showcase herself as a true vocal artist. These songs seem much more personal for Rimes, including the confessional What Have I Done, a song in which she questions breaking the heart of the only man who has ever loved her.<br /> <br /> I dont know if Rimes wrote or co-wrote the songs. I hope so, because that would be really impressive. But even the selection makes me wonder if this is her first real attempt at interjecting her own personal experiences in her music. If so, Id say she did a fine job.<br /> <br /> Check out Rimes latest videos:</p> <p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ge_NiWX6tzg?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></p> <p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Gnb3DC89Fsg?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></p> <p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ool74BRREms?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></p> <p>Check out the original article by The Clarion Ledger <a href="http://blogs.clarionledger.com/msstyle/2013/04/11/pear-native-leann-rimes-is-a-spitfire-in-new-album/">here.</a></p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:18:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/144081<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/leann_rimes/media/00/12/images/assets/medium.6ZQ7j04AfZTJFsWNJLLYgQJQYYSlILBU94-lNrjS4yI.jpg" /><br /><p>Shes faced weight loss and love affair scandals, but LeAnn Rimes is back on fighting form.<br /> <br /> LeAnn Rimes certainly doesnt make being a size 6 sound easy. First theres the hour-long morning workout of boxing or Pilates four times a week, which she describes as .And then theres the low-fat, low-carb daily diet of Greek yoghurt, fruit, eggs, spinach, fish and salads although she does treat herself to the occasional piece of cake.<br /> <br /> ll have two or three bites and be satisfied, she says. (Well have the rest, thank you very much.)<br /> <br /> But for someone who two years ago defended her ever-shrinking body by tweeting: Those are called abs not bones, love, in reaction to a particularly concerned post from one of her Twitter followers, it appears the 30-year-old country singer has now gained some , as she puts it.<br /> <br /> My mom was like: Oh, you have a little bit of fat back in your face. Im like: Thanks, Mom! says Texas-raised LeAnn, her slightly rounder face breaking into a warm smile. But I dont think Ive ever gone to an extreme with working out or my eating.<br /> <br /> LeAnns body isnt the only thing shes had to defend over the past few years. She married dancer Dean Sheremet, 32, in 2002, but found herself falling in love with the very hunky (and very married) actor Eddie Cibrian, 39, during the filming of their US TV movie Northern Lights in 2009. Their six-week affair led to the eventual break-up of both their marriages, and the pair married two years later. Left with two stepsons and Eddies furious ex, Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville, 40, to deal with, LeAnn who burst on to the music scene at the age of 13 and went on to have international hits with How Do I Live and Cant Fight The Moonlight found her girl-next-door reputation at stake.<br /> <br /> The pressure eventually became too great and, last August, she voluntarily checked into rehab for a 30-day treatment programme for anxiety and stress.<br /> <br /> Today, back to full health, LeAnn is preparing to answer her critics with the release of Spitfire, her 11th studio album and most open to date.<br /> <br /> This album allowed me to talk honestly about difficult subjects, says LeAnn. Nothing was off limits. Until now, I feel like Ive had a piece of tape over my mouth. Not any more<br /> <br /> <strong>How has your eating and exercise regime changed over the years?</strong><br /> I grew up on pork chops and fried food and when I was 20, I wanted to start eating healthily. I was always on stage running around and would get out of breath. I wanted to build my stamina, so started lifting weights and circuit training. These days, if I just want to go for a 30-minute hike, Ill do that instead of hitting the gym. I occasionally have pizza or fried chicken, but I try to keep my carbs to a minimum.<br /> <br /> <strong>Did you make an effort to gain weight after people seemed so concerned in 2011?</strong><br /> I never tried to lose weight and I never tried to gain it. It depends on how stressed I am. I was eating a ton and couldnt put on weight!<br /> <br /> <strong>Were Eddie or your family ever concerned?</strong><br /> No. But being from the South, my mom and godmother are always happier when I have a little meat on my bones.<br /> <br /> <strong>Are you happy with how you look?</strong><br /> Im secure with my body. Trust me, there are moments when Ive stood in the mirror and gone: Oh my God, Im getting cellulite! but then I stand in a different light and Im like: Oh, its not so bad now. I have my moments, like every woman.<br /> <br /> <strong>How do you feel when you look at pictures of yourself as a curvier teenager?</strong><br /> I was a kid. It was baby fat. As soon as I understood fitness, I started to take care of my body.<br /> <br /> <strong>Youve recently become a stepmother to Jake, five, and Mason, nine. Whats that been like?</strong><br /> They have been very accepting. Its taken a while to feel like its not just Eddie and the two boys and then me. But I do feel thats happening, and the love that I have for them is tremendous.<br /> <br /> <strong>What do they call you?</strong><br /> Lee. Sometimes theyll blurt out: , but I just go with whatever they call me. As long as its nice and respectful, I couldnt care less.<br /> <br /> <strong>Do you and Eddie want to have your own kids?</strong><br /> Absolutely. Theres still a lot of adjustments to make. It could be five months from now or in two years.<br /> <br /> <strong>Eddies ex-wife, Brandi, has been pretty vocal about her feelings for you. Whats your relationship like now?</strong><br /> Thats where you write insert face reaction here.<br /> <br /> <strong>Eek That doesnt sound good.</strong><br /> Its been really difficult. You have to stand up for yourself and be your own person, but at the same time you have to protect these children and their hearts. And thats a very tough balance.<br /> <br /> <strong>Do you have any regrets?</strong><br /> I dont like that word. Do I wish I handled it differently? Absolutely. No one wants to hurt anyone or put themselves through hurt. I think the only other thing we couldve done would have been to get out of our marriages before anything happened. It was tough, and it all happened very fast. I felt so ashamed and guilty.<br /> <br /> <strong>Are you in touch with Dean?</strong><br /> Were very cordial when we see each other, but its not an easy thing just yet.<br /> <br /> <strong>Did all this contribute to you seeking treatment for anxiety and stress?</strong><br /> I just wanted to figure out how to take care of myself. I learned that theres such beauty in imperfections, which is quite amazing. So much music comes from that place.<br /> <br /> <strong>How so?</strong><br /> Ive always wanted to sing my life. Communicating my feelings can be hard. Through music, mine truly come out. When I speak, they get lost. When I sing, they dont.<br /> <br /> <strong>Songs on your new album, such as What Have I Done? and Borrowed, address the affair. Do you fear that honesty might affect your career comeback?</strong><br /> I think a lot of people want you to be human, but youre not allowed to make mistakes. Im going to make mistakes thats just life. We all want hits, but I truly want to make music Im proud of.<br /> <br /> <strong>Do you feel pressure to reinvent yourself and keep up with the likes of Katy Perry and Rihanna?</strong><br /> I cant live my life wondering if people are going to like me or not. Ive always just depended on my voice. Its my gift. And now I feel like I have a lot of things to share and stories to tell. Theres humanity about my music that is hard to find these days.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://fabulousmag.co.uk/2013/04/07/leann-rimes-my-body-and-me/">Click here</a> for the original article by Sara Lieberman for Fabulousmag.co.uk</p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:12:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/142851<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/leann_rimes/media/05/12/images/assets/medium.E8l7DSorl_jBU0Br_PgXmOIVckTfrSCAq-wSL1LBXck.jpg" /><br /><p>Singing sensation LeAnn Rimes hits The O2 stage for the first time this weekend for C2C: Country to Country. She tells us about new material and her plans to celebrate St Patricks Day in the capital.<br /> <br /> <strong>How do you feel about coming to London as one of the headliners this weekend?</strong><br /> <br /> I have had an incredible fanbase there for years now and Im excited to come and play.<br /> <br /> Its thrilling for country music to be so mainstream now. In the US, its almost like our new pop music these days. Our top 40 stations here are mostly urban performers but country music is becoming more mainstream - it appeals to a younger set of fans and its wide ranging, from aged eight to 80.<br /> <br /> Its songs of real life, thats what its all about, and it has spilled over to Europe and the rest of the world.<br /> <br /> <strong>Will it be exciting to share the stage with fellow country music superstars like Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood?</strong><br /> <br /> I have done a lot of festivals like this. I have performed with Tim and we all know of each other from previous American shows.<br /> <br /> At The O2 we are all performing as individual acts but there might be some friends joining me, so we will see.<br /> <br /> <strong>What can the audience expect from your set-list, on the Sunday afternoon?</strong><br /> <br /> It will be a mix of some of the hits and also a lot of the music from the new record too.<br /> <br /> Im excited to play that - we have had a lot of pockets over the last several years when we havent got to play here, so we will do songs we dont do on normal shows.<br /> <br /> <strong>Any plans to explore the area during your trip?</strong><br /> <br /> My husband is coming with me. Hes never been to London and we have never experienced it together, so it will be a mini-vacation too.<br /> <br /> When Im done with work, we will be exploring the city.<br /> <br /> Im looking forward to spending St Patricks Day there. I have experienced pubs in London, but never on St Patricks Day, so thats where I will be after the show.<br /> <br /> <strong>Your new album Spitfire is released here on April 1. How is it set apart from your previous work?</strong><br /> <br /> Its dealing with new topics. I have grown into a woman and I have had a lot of things thrown at me in the last four years, so its real.<br /> <br /> Im not the only one who has experienced these situations so I have written a lot of other peoples stories too. There was nothing off-limits.<br /> <br /> Im so proud of this record, more so than anything I have ever made.<br /> <br /> <strong>What else is going on with your music career?</strong><br /> <br /> There has been a big change in my life right now.<br /> <br /> I have been at the same record label since I was 11 but thats all ended.<br /> <br /> Nothing is set in stone, but its exciting to have all of these opportunities at 30 years old, after years in this business.<br /> <br /> Its a whole new world, but Im still being creative and doing fun stuff and writing a lot of music.</p> <p><a href="http://www.wharf.co.uk/2013/03/interview-leann-rimes.html">Click here</a> for the original interview by Beth Allcock for wharf.co.uk</p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:16:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/136491<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/leann_rimes/media/09/12/images/assets/medium.NlXaSYX1nLjXUj7J-znWeoJAgSCMbUE_4XmkJ9VMrMo.jpg" /><br /><p>Singer LeAnn Rimes shares the cultural highlights of her week.<br /> <br /> <strong>Reading The Catcher in the Rye.</strong> A friend of mine recommended it because apparently its who I am. Ive only read a few pages so I havent exactly worked out what they mean but Im looking forward to it. Its all a bit cryptic.<br /> <br /> <strong>Listening to Jack Whites album Blunderbuss.</strong> The track Freedom at 21has my favourite grooves of any song, along with Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.<br /> <br /> <strong>Keeping fit by boxing.</strong> Its part of my everyday training regime. I also just love to hit things, I guess!<br /> <br /> <strong>Cooking peppers stuffed with ground turkey, chillies, corn and rice.</strong> I made it for the first time recently and it has definitely been approved; my husband asked for three helpings.<br /> <br /> <strong>Watching Ray LaMontagne in concert.</strong> I dont go to a concert unless I really love the artist and Ray is someone I just keep going back to.

Both couples divorced and LeAnn became Mrs Cibrian in 2009. There has been an ongoing row between LeAnn and Brandi ever since.</p> <p>LeAnn recorded her first album when she was eight years old. She shot to fame when she signed her first record deal aged 12. She has gone on to have a string of hits including How Do I Live and Cant Fight The Moonlight.</p> <p>She chatted exclusively to HELLO! Online about spitting fire on her new album and writing music to help her deal with her personal troubles ahead of her performance at Londons C2C festival on 17 March.</p> <p><strong>Have things in your personal life calmed down?</strong></p> <p>"Theyve been calm as far as our marriage and our home. I cant speak for the rest of it. Were happy and Im happy with Eddie. We have a really blissful home life. Weve just bought a new house in LA and were moving. Having a sanctuary for ourselves is super important."</p> <p><strong>Whats the new album Spitfire about?</strong></p> <p>"I think the title says it all. I really feel like Im spitting fire on this album. For the last few years I feel like Ive had piece of tape over my mouth so it all came out through my music. Theres nothing hidden on this album. Its the truth and its in no particular order.</p> <p>"Its about the emotional rollercoaster of life and I know Im not the only one who has experienced this. Its so brutally honest and thats always hard for me to sing about. I think it has really opened up a door for me in the way that I approach music and writing from here on in. Im pretty much an open book when it comes to writing music these days."</p> <p><strong>Does writing about the troubles in your personal life help you deal with what has gone on?</strong></p> <p>"Yes. It does but it doesnt make it any easier. Its amazing to have that outlet. For me its very cathartic. But at the same time, it can be hard to be that brutally honest with yourself."</p> <p><strong>You recently said you wouldnt want your children to be in the industry. Is that because you started out so young yourself?</strong></p> <p>"Obviously if they had a true talent I would help nurture that but its not something that I would urge them to go into immediately as a child. I think it is important for kids to be kids. I only had that for a very short period of time. I recorded my first album when I was eight and signed my first record deal when I was 11. I think with children the focus should be on nurturing the talent and not kicking it off so quickly."</p> <p><strong>As regards the pressure of being in the public eye, is that something that affects you more or less as youve got older?</strong></p> <p>"It probably affects me more as Ive gotten older. The tabloids are much bigger than they were when I was a kid. The hard part for me is constantly being lied about and that their perception can be so different compared to the reality of what I live. I constantly want to fight back about it but sometimes I dont.</p> <p>"There are certain things I respond to and other things I dont. But Ive also learned to let it roll off my back but Im very protective about things like my husband, my marriage and my stepson. To have people throw your life around so haphazardly to make money out of it is sad and pathetic. Its a reality we have to deal with as best we can and protect our private lives."</p> <p><strong>Youre approaching 20 years in the industry. What advice would you give to someone starting out?</strong></p> <p>"Please yourself. You cant please everybody. Especially these days when there is a whole world watching and you have to remember that as much as they build you up they can throw you down again and its about how you come back up when youre down. And some people cant.</p> <p>"If you do and youre a fighter who is talented and able to reinvent yourself, I think thats when you really learn who you are in this business. Keep your sense of self, dont get caught up in what people want you to be."</p> <p><strong>Would you like to have your own children?</strong></p> <p>"Yes definitely. Its something weve talked about and we still do, daily. Eddies boys are five and nine and we have them 50 per cent of the time so we have our hands full. We run a million different places with them like yesterday Id had a show in Vancouver the night before and Id flown home and went straight from the airport to a baseball game from a junket so its definitely a reality check. Its like two separate worlds for me of my job and then coming home. Its very grounding."</p> <p><strong>Youre looking very well. Whats your secret?</strong></p> <p>"Im very ADD when it comes to working out. I have to keep it interesting for myself or it just gets quite monotonous. I love to box. I lift weights. Ive been doing a lot of Pilates and yoga and I hike. I really mix it up to keep my body guessing and interested and focused. Ive also changed my mind set so that I work out for myself and I feel good when I do it and Im happier. I cook a lot at home and I eat a balanced diet. I dont deprive myself of anything but I dont eat a lot of junk food."</p> <p><strong>Are you looking forward to being in London for the C2C festival?</strong></p> <p>"I am. I love London. Ive been lots of times but itll be good to be back. I love the shopping. I love going to Harrods, thats one of my favourite places, I always end up there. And Topshop, I know its crazy but we Americans honestly think its the best thing ever. Ill be loading up on things because its so inexpensive and the stuff is awesome so Im really looking forward to going there."</p> <p><strong>How does your British audience compare to the one back at home?</strong></p> <p>"They are very eclectic. I remember touring there and seeing a kid with their mum stood next to a guy with tonnes of piercings, someone you think would never end up at my show. So theyre definitely a diverse group of people but thats kind of the style of my music too. I have a lot of great fans and they always seem to be very into not only the just the singles but the whole album so people really dig into the whole body of work not just whats been released."</p> <p><strong>What sound can we expect from your new album Spitfire?</strong></p> <p>"Its definitely country. I really love old style country music and that isnt around anymore. So I took the acoustic elements of that and the sparseness of it. I made it about the lyric and my vocals but also focused on making it modern. So I took modern songs and put a bit of an old-school twist on them but kept them as the music of today."</p> <p>To buy tickets for the C2C festival visit <a href="http://www.theo2.co.uk/C2C" target="_blank">theo2.co.uk/C2C</a></p> <p>To read the full article by Hello!

In the UK I have such great fans; everybody is super into their music there.<br /> <br /> As Greenwich prepares to be transformed into a mini Nashville for the weekend, is she surprised that this is the first time that such a festival will take place?<br /> <br /> She explained: Country music has really opened up into more of a mainstream genre than it ever has been. I know in the UK it has been more like, older school country music, so its exciting to see it crossing over and that people are really embracing it.<br /> <br /> The blonde country sensation will perform at the O2 next Sunday and her album Spitfire will be released the day after, marking her first musical release in five years.<br /> <br /> She told me: ve been working on this now for 4 years and co-wrote nine out of the thirteen songs. Im very proud of this album, its an emotional roller-coaster ride: every emotion as a human being is on this record. Its about my life over the past few years.<br /> <br /> Those years have included a much publicised affair with her now-husband, CSI actor Eddie Cibrian, and an on-going feud via the tabloids with his ex-wife and reality TV star, Brandi Glanville.<br /> <br /> The delicate subject of Rimes and Cibrians affair is drawn on in the albums lead single, .<br /> <br /> LeAnn said: I was afraid to tackle the subject and to write it because I knew I would have to be so brutally honest in the song.<br /> <br /> There were a lot of tears, it was very cathartic to write something like that. Its so honest that its what made the record what it is and I realised theres no topic off limits: I had nothing to hide, nothing to lose by telling the truth.<br /> <br /> I think people can relate to it more than most want to admit. Most were taken aback, but the honesty on this album is at no-ones expense, other than mine.<br /> <br /> s not like I went out to attack anyone: Im just telling the truth about how I felt and there was nothing pretty about that moment.<br /> <br /> Signing to her record label nearly 20 years ago, she has seen first-hand the changes in the music industry.<br /> <br /> She told me: It is much harder to get into. I feel that Im the last to after almost 20 years, have a career like I do. I have ridden the roller-coaster ride of life, the ups and downs of fame and success.<br /> <br /> I think fame is more prominent these days than talent which is very sad to me. People chase after fame more so than the love of music.<br /> <br /> Tabloids are bigger than they have ever been, that wasnt around when I was a kid. Its a whole new animal than when I started.<br /> <br /> If she could go back in time she says she would offer some advice to her younger self.<br /> <br /> She said: One big thing for me is to take in the moment. I experienced all of these incredible things as a kid and never really took in what walking on to stage to receive a Grammy meant I was 14.<br /> <br /> I dont think I had the life experience to know and to really cherish it. These days even the smallest of successes, Im truly trying to enjoy and appreciate every bit of it.<br /> <br /> Summing up her motto in life, she said: Let it go. Ive had this gift ever since I was a kid and I have always tried to be perfect.<br /> <br /> There is such beauty in the imperfection of things and in the chaos that Im trying to let it be more and try not to control life. Thats where happiness comes.<br /> <br /> Spitfire is out on March 18. LeAnn Rimes is performing at the Country to Country music festival on Sunday March 17 at The O2 London.<br /> <br /> For more information, visit <a href="http://c2c-countrytocountry.com">c2c-countrytocountry.com</a><br /> <br /> LeAnn Rimes spoke to Meridian Radio presenter Tina Campbell during her Craveonmusic show, broadcast from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich.</p> <p>Check out the full article by Tina Campbell for Newsshopper.co.uk <a href="http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/leisure/latest/10270887.Country_sensation_LeAnn_Rimes_talks_about_appearing_at_the_O2_in_Greenwich/">here</a></p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Wed, 06 Mar 2013 08:31:00 -0800http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/133891<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/leann_rimes/media/05/00/images/assets/medium.182op3PFCnMGQyyJh4fVNC6DtMoPow-HwBSwWvXPoQ0.png" /><br /><p>For many months, LeAnn Rimes has endured public scrutiny over her private life mostly due to having an affair with actor Eddie Cibrian, who is now her husband. Rimes has warned her fans that her upcoming album, is an honest portrayal of her life experiences in recent years. That said, its no surprise that the music video for the albums first single, evokes some strong emotions.<br /> <br /> The video starts out in a pretty traditional format: Rimes is in a recording studio, belting out the sad lyrics to the song. While backup vocalists and musicians look on, the country singer gets lost in the memories that inspired her to write the song.<br /> <br /> The emotionally-charged ballad details Rimes emotions during her affair with Cibrian. When the country star met her current husband, they were both married to other people. While Rimes ex-husband has been relatively quiet about the affair, Cibrians ex, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville, has made very public comments about her distaste for Rimes.<br /> <br /> When the hitamaker appeared on The Tonight Show last month, she explained that affairs are never cut and dry especially when theyre public.<br /> <br /> I actually carried that lyric, I know youre not mine, only borrowed, around with me for about eight months, Rimes admitted. I was afraid that if I wrote it, I would have to write it so honestly that I would offend, more so than I already had, everyone. I knew also that theres a lot of humanity in the truth that this is how I felt, because a lot people, I think, wanted to put words in my mouth as to how I felt. This is the truth, this is how I felt, and theres no beauty in it.<br /> <br /> Although is a sad song theres no doubt about that the video is actually somewhat moving. The residual pain from the affair is present on the 30-year-old singers face, and even the session musicians and vocalists who contribute to the song look rather somber. Hopefully Rimes can use the video as some kind of catharsis for her past mistakes and move on to a happier future.</p> <p><a href="http://tasteofcountry.com/leann-rimes-borrowed-video/">Click here for the full article by Megan Pacella for tasteofcountry.com</a></p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Thu, 10 Jan 2013 10:17:00 -0800http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/121171<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.nbc.com/assets/video/widget/widget.html?vid=n30855" frameborder="0"></iframe><p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Wed, 19 Dec 2012 10:52:00 -0800http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/117781<p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial; font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">LeAnn will be performing a duet with finalist, Carly Rose Sonenclar, on Wednesdays episode of THE X FACTOR.

I have been working very closely with them and helping grant as many wishes as I can. I feel like a little wish fairy, love it! Its so gratifying to put a huge smile on someone elses face. A few days ago I went to visit 5 year old Ava and her family at Disney World. Ava has a very rare and malignant brain tumor and wanted to visit Disney World before Christmas. Her dad is stationed in Texas and her family didnt have the money to take everyone to Orlando. As fate would have it, some sweet soul of souls raised enough money to fly her family to Florida, put them up for two days and grant sweet Avas wish. I happened to be on tour close by, so Eddie and I went to meet her and her family. I colored in her princess coloring book with her for about an hour and visited with her parents. They are an amazing couple. Their strength is inspiring and their love for their daughter is incredibly beautiful. Ava, even in her sickest state is a little ray of sunshine. It was a blessing for us to meet them and help grant Avas wish. I look forward to many more experiences like this and waving my imaginary magic wand whenever possible. You can wave yours too.

Sara has a beautiful way of capturing the soul or her subject. She captured every emotion, every feeling, ever little detail in such a simple yet powerful way. Ive never had photos that truly reflect and say exactly what the music says. Not much was ever posed or shots set up with huge lighting. It was so organic. She just followed me around the Rosevelt Hotel penthouse and let me just feel. She even trusted me enough on 6 inch heels to jump on the Rosevelt Hotel sign and scream my head off!! She has a fearlessness that you dont find very often anymore. She captures the true beauty in the imperfections. I adore her and her work. Shes become a great friend. She even shot the black and white photos for my 30th birthday. Everyone should check out her other incredible work. Sara is a gift with a truly god given talent. I cant wait for you all to see all the photos in the new album!

I had a wonderful day full of peace with my friends and family. Im so happy to have arrived here. Its a true time of reflection and healing, exactly what Im going to do. Eddie made my day so special, but he makes every day special. We went to Nobu for dinner, sat by the water, shared sake, sushi, cake and several happy tears. OH, and on top of my already beautiful birthday gift he gave me the greatest new camera to capture the next decade of memories with. Im blessed, I know it and this decade is all about enjoying every beautiful person and experience thats gifted to me from above.</p> <h6>*Photo credit to Sara Hertel</h6> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:37:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/94421<p>Since today is such a special day for me, I thought I'd share some special news.

I'm so thrilled to share the new single and new album with you all. "Spitfire" is a special record to me and I feel like with each single we'll be rolling out a story, not just singles.

Its the place where celebs usually describe themselves as a singer, dog lover, beach walker, wine drinker, etc. But Rimes simply says, "Human." She told me she wrote that because at the end of the day, no matter what we all do for a living, thats all we are. "We make mistakes, we have vulnerabilities, and we have wonderful triumphs. To me, thats who I am," she said. "And thats what Im sharing: my humanity."</p> <p>To read the entire CMT article click <a href="http://www.cmt.com/news/cmt-offstage/1692602/offstage-leann-rimes-is-only-human.jhtml">HERE</a>. </p> <p>From <a href="http://www.leannrimesworld.com/">www.leannrimesworld.com</a></p>Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:07:00 -0700http://www.leannrimesworld.com/news/94271<p>LeAnn is NOT missing her 20s.

The other image is that of gossip magazine cover girl, something that happened when she left her husband for actor Eddie Cibrian, who was also married.</p> <p>But the person Rimes actually is, is somewhere in the middle. She recently ducked away from a family reunion to discuss her music, the paparazzi and turning 30 years old.</p> <p>Q. Tell us what youll be doing at The Salk.</p> <p>A. I know Im going to be performing with a symphony, which is something I love and dont get to do very often. I like doing these more intimate shows because I always feel like Im sitting in my living room, hanging out with friends. Im sure its going to be a beautiful night.</p> <p>Q. Youve been performing for more than half of your life, how do you attribute your longevity as a singer?</p> <p>A. Its always been an up-and-down ride, like a roller coaster. But recently, Ive been growing as a writer and a producer, and that keeps things interesting. I feel like as I get older and go through ups and downs in my personal life, I dont need to explain myself so much anymore, it just naturally comes out through my music.</p> <p>Q. All those recent magazine pictures of you and your family at the beach, is that here in San Diego?</p> <p>A. No, weve been around Newport on a family reunion. Its the first time weve all been together in a long time. It took 30 years to get here, but were here and its so nice.</p> <p>Q. You dealt with your own scandal when you got divorced and married Eddie (Cibrian). How did you survive your personal life on display?</p> <p>A. People get sick of it eventually. Now theyre waiting for us to get pregnant and the magazines write all these stories about us that arent true. But its just part of what I do. I didnt have to deal with it when I was younger because this whole reality television/tabloid world wasnt so big then. People are always going to talk and say what they want and they can have at it. My husband, my family and I, we have our own truth and thats the one that matters.</p> <p>Q. Youre turning 30 soon, how are you feeling about it?</p> <p>A. Im excited, its something thats going to be a whole new beginning, a whole new chapter. Im working on a new album and its a labor of love, Im so happy with it.</p> <p>Q. Can you give us any details about the record (which is planned to be released in February)?</p> <p>A. I dont think people have ever seen me this honest. Im excited for everyone to hear my truth about the way I see things and the way I live my life.
