Multi-Platinum superstar, recording artist, and songwriter Bryan Adams has announced his upcoming new studio album So Happy It Hurts set to be released March 11, 2022. It is his first release since signing a global recordings agreement with BMG, his first new label deal in more than 40 years.

Known the world over for his signature brand of feel-good rock music, Adams shared the title track and accompanying video (directed by Adams himself) on October 11.

Said Adams: "The pandemic and lockdown really brought home the truth that spontaneity can be taken away. Suddenly all touring stopped, no one could jump in the car and go. The title song ‘So Happy It Hurts’ is about freedom, autonomy, spontaneity, and the thrill of the open road. The album of the same name, touches on many of the ephemeral things in life that are really the secret to happiness, most importantly, human connection."

So Happy it Hurts marks Adams’ 15th release and features 12 new songs co-written by him. The album will be available on all digital platforms, as well as in a variety of physical formats including standard CD, deluxe CD with a lenticular cover and hardbound book and vinyl. Exclusive color vinyl and a limited edition box set which includes the deluxe CD, vinyl, hardbound book and signed photo will also be available.

Adams, whose live concerts have established him as one of the world’s best rock singers of our time, will be performing in Las Vegas, NV with a residency at the Wynn beginning November 10, 2021.
