During his interactions with UMG staff in 2013, Adams said, “There was no mention that there had been a fire in the archive.” One of the artists on those lists is Bryan Adams, who said that he first learned about the fire when he read the Times Magazine piece. The names were gleaned from UMG’s own lists, assembled during the company’s “Project Phoenix” recovery effort, a global search for replacement copies and duplicates of destroyed masters. The list adds 700-plus names to the more than 100 artists cited in “The Day the Music Burned.” Today, The Times is offering a broader look at that heritage, publishing an expanded list of artists who were thought by UMG officials to have lost master recordings in the fire. If you were doing an archaeological dig there, you would have concluded that it was almost as if none of it had ever happened.” But he remained baffled about the disappearance of so much material: “I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that I couldn’t find anything at Universal that had been published to do with my association with A&M records in the 1980s. “I called everyone, former A&M employees, directors, producers, photographers, production houses, editors, even assistants of producers at the time,” Adams said.Įventually, Adams located a safety copy of the album’s “unmastered final assembly mix tape” in his own vault in Vancouver. Adams’s hunt for this material ranged far and wide.
Almost nothing could be turned up by the record company. Adams was seeking “the master mixes/artwork/photos/video/film.

“I contacted the archive dept of Universal Music,” Adams told me in an email last week. He reached out to Universal Music Group (UMG), the world’s largest record company, which controls the catalog of dozens of subsidiaries, including A&M, the label that put out “Reckless” and eight other Adams studio albums. Now, with the album’s 30th anniversary approaching, Adams was attempting to put together a commemorative reissue. Twenty-nine years earlier, in 1984, Adams reached pop-rock superstardom with the release of his fourth LP, “Reckless,” which topped the Billboard 200 album chart and sold an estimated 12 million copies worldwide. You can seriously fuck off with these lyrics 2013, Bryan Adams, the Canadian singer-songwriter, found himself facing a mystery. Well done to for managing to deride, fetishise and dismiss lesbianism all in one verse. in 2019 we're still doing "fuck you straight" and calling female queerness a "phase?" /xDH3fnNrZv
I used to joke that listening to The Weeknd was homophobic but the lyrics from his new song "lost in the fire" are actually fucking vile.
The rumors also state that this could have everything to do with Bella Hadid, making this a classic Hollywood triangle.Įven worse, The Weeknd’s also being called homophobic for this lyrics:
‘Cause I could never be the one to hide one.” “And I just want a baby with the right one Interestingly enough, this particular song is making headlines for some striking lyrics.įirst, many are speculating that Abel may have dissed fellow Canadian star Drake, specifically in regards to his child: So… The Weeknd is back with a new single titled “Lost In The Fire,” a collaboration with producer Gesaffelstein, who worked with The Weeknd on Melancholy.
