Grammy Award-winning band U2 will be releasing their newest studio album "Songs of Experience." The 14th studio album of the Irish rock band is scheduled to be released on Dec. 1.
"Songs of Experience" was produced by Jacknife Lee and OneRepublic vocalist Ryan Tedder. The cover of their newest album features Bono's son El and the Edge's daughter Eli holding hands.
People can choose from three "Songs of Experiences" album packages. The standard package is composed of 13 songs while the Deluxe CD and Digital will have 17 songs. The Deluxe CD and Digital includes the extraordinary mix of "Ordinary Love," "Book of Your Heart," "Lights of Home (St Peter String Version)" and the U2 vs Kygo version of "You're the Best Thing About Me."
The track listing of the Deluxe Vinyl edition consists of 16 tracks without the U2 vs Kygo version of "You're the Best Thing About Me."
During an interview with Rolling Stone, U2 frontman Bono revealed that the "Songs of Experience" album was delayed. He said, "In truth, there's a couple of reasons why we delayed 'Songs of Experience.' One personal, one political."
Bono then mentioned the name of President Donald Trump and the impact of his presidency. During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Bono shared his feelings toward Trump. He said, "I don't think he's the cure for this problem and I think he might even make it worse."
After the release of the "Songs of Experience," the band will be preparing for the U2 Experience + Innocence Tour in 2018. The band will roam around the United States starting on May 2, 2018, at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The tour will end on June 29, 2018, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Tickets go on sale on Nov. 20.
The band was recently awarded the Global Icon award during the 2017 MTV Europe Music Awards.
