Bono Repeats: U2 Has Four Album Projects
@U2,
August 18, 2010
Just as he told Italian journalists a few days before the U2 360 resumed earlier this month, Bono has reiterated to Rolling Stone that U2 is currently working on four separate album projects: In addition to Songs of Ascent -- a second set of tracks from the No Line sessions -- and Bono and the Edge's score for the Spider-Man musical (finally set to open on Broadway on December 21st), U2 are working on a "rock album," as Bono puts it, "and a club-sounding album." He expects U2 will release a new record, drawn from that body of songs, in time for their return to North America next year. "That's going to be great. Those people are going to have tickets to a whole new show with new songs." That's from the new (September 2) issue of Rolling Stone. The article is mostly about the tour, though. Edge and Larry talk about U2's decision to drop a few songs from No Line and replace them with new, unreleased material: "We're not promoting anything," he [Edge] contends, referring to the early emphasis on last year's No Line on the Horizon. "These concerts are everything we have to give -- our past, our future, where we're at today." "It's so easy to do your hits -- lay it out and everybody goes yippee," Mullen says. "We're not about that. We're about change and taking chances -- and failing. That's what U2 do -- we succeed and we fail. We never do the middle." The new Rolling Stone is available this week.
