It’s very different from what they have done so far but still sounds like U2. One person who has heard the new album is Paul McGuinness, U2’s former manager. The band are understood to have signed off on the album and tour schedule, but they have had last-minute changes of mind before. There was one last, frantic scramble earlier this year to get a big single, so they got Adele’s writer-producer, Paul Epworth, into the studio.” “The album has been actually been finished for a few months, but a decision was taken not to release during the summer months because of holidays etc. Three weeks is all it should take." Since then a "definite" release date of September 2013 has come and gone, as have many subsequent dates.īut a music industry source now predicts that there’ll be a “single in September, album September-October, tour announced December, first date April next year. We've just had the best three weeks in the studio. In June 2012, talking on T he Late Late Show, Bono said that "the new album is going incredibly quickly. The album seems to have been coming forever. It seems like he's trying to tell us something – that the new album is coming soon."

The fan-site link to last month's leaked music says the track recorded on the beach was Song for Someone (which Bono has already confirmed will be on the new album). The overheard songs got put up on a U2 fan site, the band's label instructed lawyers to remove them, and the kerfuffle got splashed across the music press. The dreadful bad luck is that just before U2 released their last album, No Line on the Horizon, five years ago, someone else just happened to be standing on the same beach in front of the same home with an audio recorder while Bono was blasting out that as-then-unreleased album on his stereo. The overheard songs get put on a U2 fan site, the band's label instructs lawyers to remove them, and the kerfuffle gets splashed across the music press. On the beach in front of the home someone just happens to be standing with an audio recorder. There he is in his home in southern France last month, playing U2's unreleased new album at full volume on his stereo while, quite possibly, singing along into a hairbrush in front of the mirror.
