Really, though, Shine A Light is simply the best songs I could put together. I kept interspersing new and old ideas that had some sort of cohesion. I wasn’t writing them thinking, “I must write for the musical” – songs just come out how they will. Within a year, I started realising I had enough material for an album, so last summer I gathered the last few songs together. I was parking the ideas for songs that weren’t suitable for the musical. I was getting songs together for the Pretty Woman musical, which I’ve co-written with Jim Vallance. This one wasn’t even a question of thinking of an album. Fresh from a sell-out arena tour, the Canadian icon invited Classic Pop to his management studio in Chelsea to talk about how he’s stayed on top for 35 years…ĭid you have any grand plans as to how you wanted the new album to sound? The energetic Shine A Light – featuring Ed Sheeran co-writing the title track and a Jennifer Lopez duet made with Ariana Grande’s producer – has kept Bryan firmly where he belongs. He talks to Classic Pop about his 40 years in the music business and how his new album has found him co-writing with one of the biggest pop stars on the planet…Į ver since his fourth album, Reckless, in 1984 featured Summer Of ’69 and Heaven, all of Bryan Adams’ albums have reached the Top 10. As he nears his 60th birthday, Bryan Adams – singer, songwriter, record producer, guitarist, photographer, activist and vegan – shows little sign of winding down.
