Album features tribute to late singer

The record includes Torn, which marks the last recorded performance by Dolly Parton. She passed away on 25 August at the age of 80. The track serves as a duet between her and lead singer Bono.

Band describes creative approach for release

Guitarist the Edge called the collection a messy and provocative set of songs. Frontman Bono stated the music aims to shine brightly in a dark world. The group has already issued two EPs earlier this year before this full album.

Release date confirmed for new record

Fans can expect the 16th studio album from the Irish rock legends on November 13. The project concludes a busy period of output for the band members. Critics noted that the group has recaptured the zeal found during their peak years.
