Bryan Adams has released Never Gonna Rain as his latest single. 

The track is the fourth to be lifted from the musician’s 15th studio LP ‘So Happy It Hurts’ and is a more stripped-back instrumental than its predecessors.

Speaking in a statement, he says of the single: “The ultimate optimist is someone who keeps on expecting the best, even in the face of the worst. Living in the moment, instead of in fear. Turning the negatives into positives. Taking the rain and turning it into a gift.”

An accompanying video sees Bryan perform the song with his live band in an outdoor space.

The Summer of ‘69 hitmaker will release his first new album since 2019’s ‘Shine a Light’, featuring 12 brand new tracks, on March 11, and the LP was inspired by the “freedom” of the road

“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,” he said.

“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’ is available to pre-order on CD and vinyl.
