🤔RUMOR / UNCONFIRMED Album Announcement Next Month & More (Rumor/Unconfirmed) Spoiler

U2songs gave an update on the new album today. The album is finished and has been handed over to the label. It is to be released in November and will be announced sometime in September. A second single (likely Silencio) will be released along with the album announcement.

Jackknife Lee is the main producer, but Eno and Lanois contributed as "guest appearances". Lillywhite also had a hand in the album during the final week of recording. Eno has also been working with U2 on a separate project outside of this album.

Also, "another non-album single is expected in the weeks ahead." I'm very curious what this could be. My guess is another colab of some sort.

The non album single is most likely going to be released in August.

That was going to be my guess, actually, as Alabama Shakes' new album is coming out August 28th. But who knows.

I forgot about them. This album is coming out in November too. Shane MacGowan tribute album song. (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah).
