Bryan Adams‘ long-awaited upcoming 13th album, produced by Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra fame, will be titled Get Up. Due on Oct. 16 via UMe, the project was co-written with Adams’ long-time collaborator Jim Vallance and includes nine new songs – along with four acoustic bonus versions.

A complete track listing is below, along with confirmed tour dates in support of Get Up. Videos will be produced for both “You Belong To Me,” which is available instantly with pre-orders, and for “Brand New Day.” Actress Helena Bonham Carter will be featured in the latter.

“It came together quite organically, song by song, working with Jeff producing over the past couple of years whenever he had time,” Adams says in pre-release materials. “It was a great partnership as it gave me plenty of time to write the songs, most of which are a collaboration with Jim Vallance. We all worked primarily over the internet from Canada, Europe and L.A., sending demos and parts of songs until we got it right.”

Lynne, who has produced Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh and others, said he’s “always been a big fan of Bryan so getting to work with him was a great pleasure. Bryan would send me a demo across the internet, then I would play most of the instruments to make a finished backing track and send it back to him in England. There he would put the lead vocal on to the song and send it back to me in California – 5,400 miles apart! And it’s turned out to be a rockin’ album.”

“You Belong to Me”

I'm very interested!!  I usually shy away from posting this guy very much because of my utmost respect for Jon.  But I am willing to confess to being a Big Fan...  Id expect a top ten showing from this.  Anything less would be a HUGE disappointment for me

So Jon will have this before you?

[Jon]

I don't like Bryan Adams?

[Scott]

Could've swore you didn't care for his work. .... maybe I'm wrong and I need to post an artist showcase on him ASAP

I've seen Bryan Adams live 3 times. That's not as much, as I've seen KISS (4 times), but no other band/artist have I seen more than twice. Still, I never was a fan of Adams. Only a minor fan around 84-87.

Lynne is/was an awesome producer in the 80's, but I must say, I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in this realese!!

[Scott]

This is Scott rock.... hahaha

[Niels (Mod)]

Not sure 'bout that one. But close, yes.

[Scott]

Yes! Very slick.

[TageRyche]

Is that what Adams sounds like now? That doesn't sound anything like the Bryan Adams I remember.

It is not a bad song at all just not at all what I was expecting.

[Scott]

ad thats a good thing!

[TageRyche]

I guess that depends on your outlook. I had no problem with the style that made him a star like the "Reckless" CD.
