Data Insight

Get Up is Bryan Adams' tribute to the rock-and-roll he grew up on, produced by Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra and written almost entirely with his longtime collaborator Jim Vallance. The nine original songs lean into a lean, retro sound built on bright guitars, handclaps, and Lynne's layered harmonies, recorded with the team sending parts back and forth between Canada, Europe, and Los Angeles. "You Belong to Me" and "Brand New Day" were issued as singles, and the standard edition rounds out with stripped-down acoustic takes of four of the songs. The album reached number 1 in Switzerland and number 2 on the UK Albums Chart.

Get Up is Bryan Adams's twelfth studio album, released October 16, 2015 on Universal Music Enterprises. Produced primarily by Jeff Lynne, the album's nine studio tracks are almost entirely co-written by Adams and Jim Vallance. The standard edition also includes four acoustic renditions of album tracks produced by Adams.
