U2 will release their 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, on November 13 through Interscope Records, featuring a duet with Dolly Parton.
Interscope Records has announced that U2 will release their 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, on November 13. The 12-track release consists of new material after a nine-year gap. Alongside the date announcement, the label issued a track titled Silencio. The first song from the new album, Street of Dreams, was released in July. On the cover of the new album, the band members are seen walking in a line on a beach, an image that mirrors the Beatles album cover for Abbey Road.
Carnaval De Luz is produced by Jacknife Lee, who has been working with U2 since 2004. Describing the material, The Edge called the album a messy, provocative, and sacred collection of songs. Bono stated that the album will feature loud guitars, deep basses, and ecstatic rhythms. Celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, the band also released two EPs, Days of Ash and Easter Lily, which each contain six tracks.
The final track on the album is a duet with Dolly Parton titled Torn, which was co-written by U2, Parton, and Johnny McDaid. A representative for Dolly Parton confirmed that this track represents the artist's final vocal performance.
