![]() ![]() Ryan Adams his first full-length album since facing multiple sexual misconduct allegations last year. Out of nowhere, Ryan Adams has emerged with his new album “Wednesdays”, marking his first release since facing multiple abuse allegations. Ryan Adams new album ‘Wednesdays’ is now available to stream As far as I am concerned, this is a perfect album.” Each one has its purpose and as a whole, the album functions as one cohesive unit of emotive gravity. There isn’t a track that I would skip upon re-listening. ![]() For me, the standout tracks of the album are definitely “Poison and Pain” which has lyrics such as: “I was so bad on my own Drawing maps inside my soul to places nobody goes Woke up confused, just staring at my telephone Waiting like I’d ever hear your voice again,” Every song on this record has lyrical moments that take your breath away. And it only gets deeper the further you go into the track list. ![]() There’s just something more earnest at play here, a next level of unbridled honesty that makes the effort behind Prisoner seem almost trivial in comparison. “Right out of the gate, the honesty of Wednesdays hits full force, with the track “I’m Sorry and I Love You.” It’s unclear how much more this record may have changed since 2019 besides the decision to alter the cover artwork, but this opening track definitely feels like an apology from Ryan to the fans who may have felt betrayed or hurt by the allegations that came from the Times article. Physical editions are scheduled for March 19th, 2021. It was eventually surprise-released digitally on December 11th, 2020 through Adams’s label PAX AM. Originally slated for release in 2019, it was delayed following abuse allegations against Adams. The seventeenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Ryan Adams. Ryan Adams – Do Not Disturb Pax Americana Recording Company Praised as one of rock’s most talented songwriters, Adams is a seven-time Grammy nominated artist, a producer for greats such as Willie Nelson, Jesse Malin, and Jenny Lewis, and a lauded collaborator with the likes of Weezer, Fall Out Boy, America, and more. Adams’ passion for writing continues, and he is currently working on his first novel. In 2009, he published Infinity Blues, a book of free verse poetry, and Hello Sunshine, a collection of poems and short stories. Adams’ artistry is not limited to his song writing capabilities. In addition to his self-titled, double Grammy-nominated 2014 album, Adams covered Taylor Swift’s 1989 in its entirety with his own interpretation fo the blockbuster album. Adams’ musical creativity was recognized early on and led to his NME Best Solo Artist win in both 20. From his song writing, to his producing, to fronting the rock/alternative country band Whiskeytown, and forming, Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, his ability to connect with audiences across a variety of different mediums is undeniable. Ryan Adams’ profound contributions to music have taken many different forms. The 80s are a good look for him and he described the whole record as “the soundtrack to a movie from 1984 that only exists in my soul.” While he had dipped his toes in the water for his reimagined version of Taylor Swift’s “1989” record, now Adams has jumped all the way in. But we have to talk about “Power.” From its first 80s electric guitar line and Adams’ raspy voice, It’s not a new vibe, but Adams does it well. “I Surrender” and “Middle of the Line” are classic Adams rockers and the ones I keep replaying. With “What am I?”, Adams is showing us that he still knows how to croon with his beautiful acoustic accompaniment and stop me in my tracks. “It’s so Quiet, it’s Loud” echoes back to Easy Tiger/ Cardinology era with its jangly guitars and soaring vocals at the end of the song. There are many standout tracks on this album. Even more smouldering is the stringed “It’s So Quiet, It’s Loud”, a not even insanely spectacular song, but with its catchiness and its dreamy euphoria suitable as a potential single. The relaxed, mentioned at the beginning “Fuck The Rain” is certainly one of them, but is surpassed by the subsequent “Manchester”, which once again shows what swarming rock music Ryan Adams is capable of. His 18th album “Big Colors” has mostly the better songs than the original predecessor “Prisoner”, released in 2017 and tested by us. Adams has released seventeen albums since 2000, a bad one wasn’t included, but some great ones like “Heartbreaker”, “Gold”, “Love Is Hell” and “Cold Roses”. The now 46-year-old American has never disappointed. It is his 18th studio album and is a striking change of direction from the last, an upbeat record rich in drums and synth encapsulating the 1980’s vibe spectacularly and produced with Don Was and Beatriz Artola. ![]()
