  "account": "Following the announcement on November 13, U2 will release their 16th studio album, \"Carnaval De Luz,\" after a nine-year hiatus. The album features a collaboration with country music icon Dolly Parton, described as a \"tender country song detailing broken family ties that holds wider resonances.\" The Edge, U2's guitarist, referred to the album as \"a messy, provocative, sacred collection of songs.\" The last track on the album is a duet with Parton, which her statement describes as her last recorded vocal performance. U2, celebrating their 50th anniversary, have released two EPs, \"Days of Ash\" and \"Easter Lily,\" this year. The album cover bears a striking resemblance to the Beatles' \"Abbey Road\" cover, featuring the band members walking along a beach.",
  "summary": "NEW YORK (AP) — Irish rockers U2 will release their first full-length album of new material in nine years — the 12-track “Carnaval De Luz,” which will feature a song with Dolly Parton.",
