U2's new album features Bono duet with Dolly Parton
A duet between Bono and Dolly Parton is one of the tracks on U2's new album, Carnaval de Luz, which will be released on Friday, 13 November.
U2's new album, Carnaval de Luz, set to be released on November 13th, features a duet between lead singer Bono and country music icon Dolly Parton. The track, titled "Torn," is a poignant song about fractured family relationships. Co-written by the band, Parton, and Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid, the country-infused melody is one of the 12 songs exploring themes of spirituality, friendship, freedom, and resilience in the face of adversity.
Parton, who passed away in August at the age of 80 following a brief battle with cancer, leaves behind a rich legacy. U2, forming 50 years ago by drummer Larry Mullen Jr.'s handwritten note in 1976, describes the album as a collection of songs delving into profound emotions and experiences. Bono, known for his energetic performances, hints at a vibrant, eclectic mix of music, vibrant imagery, and powerful vocals.
Guitarist The Edge teases the album's unique use of flat-wound strings, promising a "messy, provocative, sacred collection of songs." The album's release is anticipated after the successful singles "Street of Dreams" and "Silencio."
