Bryan Adams Reveals His New Album Is ‘Already in the Can’

During a new episode of "Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk " on SiriusXM's Faction Talk (Ch. 103), Bryan Adams revealed he finished a new album and plans to release it in early 2025.

"It's already in the can," Bryan told Eddie. "The record's done, it's mixed. And I just got to put the album cover together. And so I'll do that before Christmas and then i think we'll probably release it in the first quarter of next year."

"It's a super-exciting record," Bryan added. "And it's a rocker as well. So when the time comes and we get closer to it, maybe I can sit you down and play the whole thing."

Bryan Adams Co-Wrote for KISS When He Was 21

Additionally, during the interview, Bryan shared the story behind co-writing songs for KISS:

"I was 21 and I had released my album called 'You Want It You Got It.' And I got a call from a guy called Michael James Jackson, who was a producer at the time. And he called me to say, 'Hey, I really like your record and I'm actually working with this band KISS. Would you like to write a couple songs with them or for them?'"

"So they flew me to Los Angeles and I met Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley and Eric Carr, who was the drummer at the time," Bryan added. "I sort of sat down with each one of them individually and wrote songs with each… with Gene I didn't write anything, but Gene had a really good bassline that I sort of recorded on my cassette recorder. And I took it back to Vancouver and I was telling my usual songwriting collaborator, Jim Vallance, that I had done this, check out this bassline of Gene's. And we listened to it and within an hour or so we'd written this song called 'War Machine' around it."

Bryan Adams on Launching His Label, Bad Records

Bryan recently released two tracks - "Rock and Roll Hell" and War Machine" - on his label, Bad Records, and talked to Eddie about the genesis of it.

"[The label's] been live since 2013, but this year I decided to make it more official," Bryan said. "And since I'm now an independent artist and I don't have a record company and I don't have a manager, I decided I would just do something really avant-garde and start my own label. And it's really because a lot of my music has come back to me and it needed a home."
