Get Up is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams, released physically in Australia and New Zealand on October 2[2] and worldwide on October 16, 2015 by Universal Music.[3] Produced by ELO frontman Jeff Lynne and co-written with his long-time collaborator Jim Vallance, the album features nine new songs and four acoustic versions (total 13 tracks). The first song released was a video of "You Belong to Me". It was shot and directed by Adams using his black and white photography style, with only his guitar and “a muse” to assist him.[4]

Background

Get Up was recorded sporadically between March 2013 and May 2015. Adams has said of the album, "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 a 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."[3] Adams would meet with Lynne in LA and record guitars and vocals once the track was assembled.

Release and promotion

Universal announced the release of the album on August 10, 2015. "You Belong to Me" was released digitally on the same date as an "instant-grat track". The album's lead single, "Brand New Day" was then released on September 7, 2015.[3]

Singles

The music video for the lead single "Brand New Day" features British actress Helena Bonham Carter CBE, and the sound was compared to Summer Of '69.

The 2nd single "You Belong To Me" has notably rockabilly backbeat, it was released as a single in November 2015, and was added to BBC Radio 2's playlist during November and December 2015.
