Bryan Adams’ ‘Get Up’ released
It has been a long time coming.
Canadian singer-songw'riter Bryan
Adams says his new' album, ’Get Up,' is
the ideal follow-up record to his iconic
'Reckless' album of 30 years ago.
The album, released on Friday, features
several fast, catchy tunes like "Brand New'
Day," and ’You Belong to Me' w'hich
harken back to the signature feel-good
style that made Adams a household
name in the 1980s with hits
like ’Heaven’ and ’Summer of
'69.' "In many w'ays it is the
album I wish I’d been able to
make 25 years ago," Adams said,
describing ’Get Up,’ as carefree,
rocking and retro sounding. His
songwriting for Hollywood earlier
in his career spawned some of
his biggest hits, including
’Heaven,’ one of the best things
to come out of the much-panned
movie A Night From Heaven,’
and ’(Everything I Do) I Do it for
You,’ the theme song from the
1991 film ’Robin Hood: Prince of
Thieves.’
But Adams, who has sold
more than 65 million albumsworldwide and won multiple awards, has
never paid attention to shifting audience
trends. He is all about his art and music.
"I don’t actually know' w'hat my target
audience is and I don’t know anything
about the music business. I just do what I
do, w'hich is make music, which is what
I’ve always done. I just like making songs
that I like and that's it," he said. -Reuters
