This project isn’t just another album from Ryan Adams—it’s a dual mission: hear where he’s been, and where he’s going.

Review (Norman Records) : Ryan Adams presents Self Portrait, a 24-track collection that brings together new, previously unheard material with reworked versions of songs by artists such as R.E.M. and New Order. Spanning intimate ballads, raw confessionals and expansive reinterpretations, the album underlines Adams’ reputation as a singular, consistently evolving songwriter. Across two dozen tracks, Self Portrait charts the full breadth of his craft — reflective, unpredictable and richly layered. For dedicated followers, it stands as another substantial entry in his extensive catalogue; for new listeners, it offers a clear window into the voice and vision that have shaped his work over decades. Rather than a simple release, Self Portrait operates as a statement of past and future: a portrait of where Adams has been, and a hint at where he might go next.
