From Loudersound.
Bryan Adams has released a new single, Kick Ass. It’s taken from the singer’s upcoming album So Happy It Hurts, the follow-up to 20219’s Shine A Light.
Kick Ass was co-written by Robert John “Mutt” Lange, who previously worked with Adams on 1991’s Waking Up The Neighbours and 1996’s 18 Til I Die, and has co-written a number of other songs with Adams over the years. It also features an ominous, spoken word introduction from comedian and Monty Python/Fawlty Towers star John Cleese.
“Kick Ass begins with a John Cleese introductory sermon which sums up the song,” proclaims Adams. “There’s not enough rock and roll in the world… end of! More guitars, more drums, join hands… let’s rock.”
Adams launched the title track of the album as a single in October, and late last month he released a video for another song, On The Road, also written with Lange. The latter was released to coincide with the launch of the 2022 Pirelli calendar, which features photographs from Adams.
The iconic Pirelli calendar launched in 1964, and has been shot by such renowned photographers as Terrence Donovan, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Terry Richardson, Karl Lagerfeld, Bruce Weber, Mario Testino and Annie Leibovitz, while Adams’ models for his shoots included Iggy Pop, Rita Ora, Cher, Grimes, Jennifer Hudson and St Vincent.
So Happy It Hurts will be available on standard CD, deluxe CD with a lenticular cover and hardbound book, two shades of vinyl and various bundles. There’s also a limited edition box set which includes the deluxe CD, vinyl, hardbound book and signed photo. All variants are available from the Bryan Adams webstore.

BRYAN ADAMS Live At The Royal Albert Hall (2023 UK/EU 4-disc [3 CD/1 Blu-Ray] Set - In 2022, Bryan Adams took to the stage of London's Royal Albert Hall to perform three of his classic multi platinum-selling albums in their entirety: Cuts LikeA Knife, Into The Fire and Waking up The Neighbours. At the last moment, Bryan decided he wanted to record and film performances of these albums, and called his friend and collaborator; Grammy award-winning director Dick Carruthers, to scramble his crew for a multi-camera shoot. The resulting three films showcase a stunning artist at the top of his game having enormous fun, and are a convincing testament to the longevity and impact of the album’s songs.
