U2 Release New Album Carnaval De Luz Featuring Dolly Parton’s Final Recording

U2 has released their 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, marking their first full-length collection of new songs in nine years. The album features a duet between Dolly Parton and Bono for the closing track, "Torn," which is Parton's final recorded vocal performance before her death. The song is a poignant exploration of division and unity, reflecting Parton's personal beliefs and values.

U2 and Parton co-wrote the track, with Johnny McDaid also contributing to the writing. The album also includes a country version of "Torn," which is available for streaming separately. U2 has been actively promoting the album, participating in interviews and press tours. The Edge noted that Parton was open to collaborating on their unique "sci-fi country" project, despite initially working on a different folk song.
