Watch U2's Video Performance of a New Song From Their Upcoming Album
U2 has shared a Facebook live video of a performance of new song “The Blackout,” from their upcoming album Songs of Experience. The performance video was shot in Amsterdam and directed by Richie Smyth.
It’s the second track from Songs of Experience to be made public, joining “The Little Things That Give You Away,” which the band has been performing during encores on their current tour. The post also announced that the album’s first single (and yet a third new song), “You’re the Best Thing About Me,” will be released next week, on September 6.
When Bono spoke to Rolling Stone in May about their 14th studio album, the band was still trying to narrow down the song choices. “The actual tracklisting is not set yet, but we have some proper, proper fuck-off songs,” he said. “‘Little Things That Give You Away’ is one of them.” Move over, Taylor Swift.
