Bryan Adams just released his 15th studio album ‘So Happy It Hurts’

TORONTO, ON, March 11, 2022 – Today, acclaimed Canadian singer/songwriter Bryan Adams has released his 15th studio album So Happy It Hurts via BMG – available here. The album is a showcasing of Bryan’s signature style of feel-good rock music, and has been praised by many. Additionally, Bryan has released the self-produced music video for “Always Have, Always Will” – watch here.

Speaking of the album, Bryan states, “When I realized that we might never tour again due to the pandemic, I dug out all the receipts and drink coasters out of my coat pockets that I’d scribbled song ideas on, assembled them on my laptop and wrote an album.”

Adams, 62, and an Officer of the Order of Canada adds further on “Always Have, Always Will,” “It’s a declaration of devotion, pure and simple. Someone that has been with you and is still with you despite your ups and downs; someone that can see through your ego and layers of complexity and just sees you for you. Someone you appreciate, someone you respect, someone you trust.”

If you are unfamiliar with Canadian music legend, Bryan Adams you may recall he churned out numerous hits in the 80s and 90s including “Summer of ’69,” “Cuts Like A Knife,” “Heaven,” “Run To You,” “Somebody,” “Diana” and many, many more.

To celebrate the release, Bryan sat down with Good Morning America this morning for an exclusive interview and a performance of “So Happy It Hurts.” Additionally, he will be appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Tuesday, March 15th with a performance of “You Lift Me Up” and The Marilyn Denis Show on Wednesday, March 16th with a performance of “So Happy It Hurts”.

You may also notice that Adams has surprisingly ditched his familiar Fender Strat and his now go-to gold top Gibson Les Paul in favour of a Fender P-Bass in the videos for these two new videos.
