Fall Album Preview 2017:New Taylor Swift, U2,Becl,Sam Smith, Morrisey Lps:
Fall 2017 marks the much-discussed return of music legends and chart-toppers – including U2, Taylor Swift, Beck and Sam Smith – after some time away. The season will also witness the solo debuts of boy and girl group refugees Niall Horan and Camila Cabello, and acts like Metallica and Bob Dylan rummaging through their vaults. Here's what to expect – from country to pop to the resurgence of Nineties stalwarts – over the next few months.
While the band won't elaborate further, Bono recently experienced a "brush with mortality,” says the Edge, which caused the band to rethink Songs of Experience, a companion to Songs of Innocence that they had already been working on for more than two years. The resulting LP features less of the slick production that defined Innocence, in favor of a more classic formula: propulsive guitar rockers and ballads that look inward. Today's bleak political climate also contributed to the delayed gestation of some songs, including "The Blackout" and "Summer of Love." Explains Bono: "I've always believed in working across the aisle as an anti-poverty activist, but this isn't a matter of right or left. There's a bully on the bully pulpit, and silence is not an option."
