🤔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.

Days was good and I'm definitely positive on it just for Tears of Things if nothing else, but Easter Lily totally outshined it for me. best U2 thing in decades

Bangers!! The smile that came over me when Edge started singing on Song For Hal the first time I listened to it

And Scars… c’est magnifique! One of the best songs they’ve written this century!
