New U2 Album Is "Really Special"
The Edge spills the beans on the new album and reveals it could see the light of day before the band begin touring again.
U2’s new album is well underway and could be released this year. At the recent Golden Globe Awards, which U2 were nominated for Best Soundtrack, The Edge told Entertainment Weekly:
“We are working on a lot of new songs. Some of them are really, really happy. We’re convinced that we have something really special".
The guitarist also suggested the album could be see the light of day earlier than expected.
“It’s like deciding whether we are going to release the album before the tour starts or leave it for a while, we don’t really know yet. Literally, within a day of getting off the road, Bono and I were working on new songs”.
The Edge revealed that the album’s sound was also still to be decided.
“We are experimenting with a lot of different arrangements, and electronic is one of the things we are playing with. But there are other songs that are very traditional, almost folk. In some ways, that’s the thing we haven’t figured out yet, is where this album is going to end up”.
