Adams’ latest musical offering is a solid collection of beautifully-crafted rock songs, from the fast and furious up-tempo tracks such as lead song ‘Brand New Day,’ ‘You Belong To Me’ and ‘Thunderbolt,’ to the gentler songs such as ‘Don’t Even Try’ and ‘We Did It All.’ Moreover, the alternative produced acoustic versions, highlighting Adams’ unique voice and depth.
Talking about the making of ‘Get Up’ with producer- lyricist Jeff Lynne, Adams said, “It came together quite organically. Song by song, working with Jeff producing over the past couple of years whenever he had time. It was a great partnership as it gave me plenty of time to write the songs, most of which are collaboration with Jim Vallance. We all worked primarily over the internet from Canada, Europe and LA, sending demos and parts of songs until we got it right.”
“I’ve always been a big fan of Bryan so getting to work with him was a great pleasure,” says Lynne. “Bryan would send me a demo across the internet, and then I would play most of the instruments to make a finished backing track and send it back to him in England. There he would put the lead vocal on to the song and send it back to me in California, 5,400 miles apart! And it’s turned out to be a rockin’ album!”
“There is a carefree feeling about this album,” adds Adams, “and in many ways it is the album I wish I’d been able to make 25 years ago.”
Adams continues to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of his critically-acclaimed album Reckless with the 30th anniversary edition of the album that released last year. Adams is touring for the same in UK. This summer, Adams will be co-headlining with Rod Stewart at BBC Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park Festival on 13 September, 2015.
