Bryan adams now5/24/2023 ![]() Adams, Bryanīryan Adams, singer, songwriter, guitarist (b at Kingston, Ont ). You have to be open and willing to work with other people.Bryan Adams is the best-known rock musician of his time (photo by Ken Regan/Camera 5). All these people can help you get to where you want to go. You have to have other musicians to work with, producers to work with. One of the things you will realize as a musician is that you can’t do it all on your own. It’s having some conviction that you’re going to get there despite the rejections.Īnd find some other people to work with. You have to have a lot of trust in yourself. If you have a way of making music and that’s what you really want to do with all your heart, then stay the course, because it’s not easy to do anything on this level. Any life lessons or realizations you can share with us, after being in the industry for decades? I never sing songs that are out of my range and lyrics I don’t believe in. I can never sing a song unless it comes from somewhere I can relate to. When you write songs, it has to come from a place of experience, or it has to have some conviction to it that is truthful something that comes from inside. It’s important that songwriters write their truth. How do you maintain artistic integrity while being commercially successful? This new album has quite a few good songs in it. And sometimes, they’re really good sometimes they’re not. Just because you got a little older doesn’t mean the music stops. It’s one of those things where you just have songs in your head. ![]() What inspires you to keep writing new material? A lot of artists your age are content being nostalgia acts. I was able to put together so much music and new material. It was the strangest, most creative time I have ever had. I wasn’t going to let that pandemic get me down. I felt that I particularly needed to write music that was uplifting and positive. ![]() Maybe I should add a couple more songs for the Philippines! How were you able to put out such a feel-good record amid the pandemic? I’m excited to go and sing them all for you. In fact, the Philippines is unlike any other country in the world because of how much Filipinos love a love song. That’s what’s exciting about music, you can reintroduce it. It’s sort of my way of opening them up to a new audience. I rerecorded my original songs to give them a breath of fresh air. And with all the time I had on my hands in the two years I couldn’t work, I just wrote a lot of songs. I have just been very, very busy making new music and playing new live shows. You have been very productive in the past few years, releasing a studio album and three digital albums. It’s a new show with a whole new different look from the last time we were there. We will be playing all the songs you know and love, including the Philippine “national anthem,” “Please Forgive Me.” And we will also be playing a couple of songs from the new album. What can we expect from your upcoming show in Manila? Because something new always happens, whether among the musicians, or the people singing the songs back to you. ![]() I like the idea that when you play songs live, it’s like playing them again for the first time. It’s something I have always done, so it’s strange not to be doing it.
