U2 has announced Carnaval de Luz, their first album of new songs in nine years, scheduled for release on November 13 alongside a new single titled Silencio.

U2 has announced that Carnaval de Luz, their first album of new songs in nine years, will be released on November 13. Bono has described the upcoming album as anarchic. In conjunction with this announcement, the band has released a new single titled Silencio. In relation to the sound of the record, Adam Clayton stated that the bass tones are louder compared to the band's recent recordings.
The new material includes contributions from several outside artists. Brian Eno participated in writing three songs, including the opening track Go (Carnaval de Luz), and played synth. Johnny McDaid co-wrote the track Torn, while Martin Garrix is credited as a writer on the song Glorify. In addition, Ryan Tedder contributed additional production to the new single Silencio.
Carnaval de Luz is connected to other works that U2 issued this year. The band previously released two surprise EPs titled Days of Ash and Easter Lily, both of which are linked to the new album through the liturgical calendar. Taken together, these three projects consist of 24 new songs.
