Ryan Adams has a slew of new music to put out next year following the success of his surprise Taylor Swift cover 1989. Adams says much like the Swift cover, his new material channels the classic rock feel of Springsteen combined with the edge of The Smiths. 

On the new record, Adams told Entertainment Weekly: “It’s about me. It’s not about any situation or any person. It totally is just a guy, in this crazy time in my life, where I’m not some teenager, not some twenty-something, running around being crazy. It’s really looking around my world and how changed stuff is. I feel like I was able to stop time for a second and take that one still from a Super 8 view of my life. That felt strangely more powerful and sadder than anything I could write.”

Yesterday, before heading to Mexico to rejoin The Shining for Corona Capital Festival, the singer-songwriter shared a clip of new music that sounds similar to the vibe he created on 1989.
