Bryan Adams returns with 16th album 'Roll With The Punches', released on his own label

Bryan Adams has officially released his 16th studio album, Roll With The Punches, marking a significant milestone as his first project under his newly launched independent label, Bad Records.

“Super excited to not only launch my 16th studio album, but also to launch it on my own label Bad Records!” Adams announced. “It’s been a minute since we released So Happy It Hurts, and so much has happened in the past couple of years, all of which has been the inspiration for Roll With The Punches. Rock on!”

The album, now available in a range of formats including vinyl, CD, deluxe box set, and digital, blends classic rock anthems with heartfelt ballads — a familiar formula that Adams embraces with confidence. Tracks like “Make Up Your Mind,” “A Little More Understanding,” and “Never Ever Let You Go” have already gained momentum, earning A-List airplay on BBC Radio 2 and chart success across North America and Europe.

The accompanying music video for the single “Will We Ever Be Friends Again” — filmed against Iceland’s dramatic landscapes — has been met with praise from fans for its emotional resonance. Critics have responded positively as well, with The Sun calling the record “muscular rock with an emotional punch,” while Classic Pop praised its “satisfying intimacy.” Rock Candy described the project as “an album full of great hooks and big sing-along choruses.”

Adams, now in his mid-60s, shows no sign of slowing down. His recent sold-out UK tour will be followed by a headline slot at BBC Radio 2 In The Park on September 6, before continuing his global tour through Europe, North America, and newly announced dates in Japan in January 2026.
