U2 announce new album Carnaval de Luz with Bono-Dolly Parton duet
–
Neutral summary
U2 have announced their first album of new material in nearly a decade, Carnaval de Luz, due out on November 13. The release coincides with the band's 50th anniversary, marking five decades since their first rehearsal in 1976. Bono confirmed the album title in a podcast with The Irish Times, describing the material as 'powerful'. The album includes a duet between Bono and Dolly Parton, which is said to be her final recorded vocal performance; Parton died in August at age 80. The song, titled Torn, is described as being about broken family ties. Bono told Rolling Stone that Parton 'got out of her bed to sing this song,' having recorded her vocals in June while battling cancer. The album also features a track with Rosalía, and follows the singles Street of Dreams and Silencio. Most sources give the release date as November 13, though Variety lists November 12.
