Irish band U2 is preparing to release new music, including a new single and its first studio album of original songs in almost a decade. Multiple outlets report that the band releases a new single on Tuesday, positioning it as the lead track ahead of the album announcement and release. The forthcoming record is described as U2’s first studio album of new songs in nine years, following a long gap since their previous album of original material.
Sources also state that the new album is expected to arrive later this year, though its title has not yet been confirmed publicly. One outlet connects the release timing to U2’s 50th anniversary, presenting the album as part of the band’s milestone celebrations. Across the reports, the common details are the new single’s imminent release, the album’s later-year release timeframe, and that the album is currently listed as untitled. No additional track details, producer information, or chart expectations are consistently provided in the sources.
