Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legends U2 have announced they will release a new album, Carnaval De Luz, on November 13th, and also shared a new track “Silencio” along with a music video.

The 12-track Carnaval De Luz, produced by Jacknife Lee, includes a duet – “Torn” – with the late country superstar Dolly Parton. The song is described in a release as “what has sadly turned out to be her last recorded vocal performance.”

Carnaval De Luz arrives in U2’s 50th year. The record features collaborations from Brian Eno, Martin Garrix, and Daniel Lanois with additional production from Ryan Tedder on “Silencio.”

“It’s a messy, provocative, sacred collection of songs — and features the first-ever use of flat-wound strings on a U2 recording. Just saying,” U2 guitarist The Edge said.

Vocalist Bono added, “Roll up, roll up, roll up! Bring your purple socks, your broken hearts, your rose-tinted naivety… oh be amazed in the hall of mirrors. There will be loud guitars, deep bass, some ecstatic rhythms and, yes, some silver tears will make an appearance!

“Cause in the near distance just outside our carnival of light there are all kinds of creatures… the same imagination that brings us our creativity can also bring us monsters. So we make the drums louder. We build a bigger fire. We make our stories wilder and funnier. We make the melodies sweeter and the songs, they better shine, because if the world is in darkness we better not be.”

The Cliqua-directed music video for “Silencio” was shot in Mexico City.

U2 previously released “Street of Dreams” from the upcoming 16th studio album, which is their first record in nine years. The album will be available in various formats.

Legendary rock star Billy Idol recently shared a remix of his classic 1990 single, “Cradle of Love,” by DJ and record producer R3HAB.

“Cradle of Love (R3HAB Remix)” arrived via UMe along with a visualizer. The visual pays homage to the spirit and iconic imagery of the original 1990 MTV-era classic “Cradle of Love” music video while reimagining its provocative energy.

“Billy Idol is a living legend, one of the defining voices of a massively influential era of rock music,” notes R3HAB. “His catalog speaks for itself. It’s been a few years since I’ve worked on a rock record, and ‘Cradle Of Love’ is a classic, so this remix presented a fun and fresh challenge for me. My goal was to keep the spirit of the original while updating the production to bridge the song to a new audience. We love how it turned out and are happy to share it today.”

“Cradle of Love” reached No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since racked up millions of streams worldwide. It was boosted in part by an accompanying music video directed by David Fincher.

The Bangles co-founder Susanna Hoffs invites listeners to her most intimate, frank and personal conversations with the release of her brand new album of all original music, The List.

Recorded in her Los Angeles home and produced alongside CJ Camerieri, The List is said to be what happens when an artist and her closest friends gather around the kitchen table and share the stories that define one’s life.

From heartbreak to an empty nest, a new crush, foolish mistakes and the fading memory of what might have been, it is all part of The List, as Hoffs turns her deepest, decade-spanning memories into “a dozen touching and witty songs,” reflecting “an emotional wisdom that had to be earned through experience.”

The List turns the page to a new chapter of Hoffs’ astounding artistic legacy. Opening with “Casablanca,” inspired by the surreal New Orleans encounter Hoffs had with the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir in 1988, The List closes with “What Are Wings For,” written by Hoffs, Camerieri, and Edie Brickell, for the musical adaptation of Hoffs’ bestselling, debut novel, “This Bird Has Flown.”

Sung by the story’s protagonist, Jane Start, it is a declaration of personal and artistic freedom, as Jane finds the courage to break free from expectation and claim her own moment in the spotlight, discovering her own voice.
