Scene and Heard
Speaking on Dublin radio station 98fm, Adam Clayton and The Edge said they were putting the finishing touches on a collection of 12 new songs that will act as a follow-up to 2009’s No Line On The Horizon. “I think it’s a bit of a return to U2 of old, but with the maturity, if you like, of the U2 of the last 10 years,” said Clayton.
Meanwhile, jazz and urban fans can look forward to the second part of Robert Glasper’s Black Radio project at the end of October. The inaugural selection of collaborations between the jazz pianist and various figures from the worlds of R’n’B and soul was hailed as one of the albums of the year in 2012, and this time there’s another mouth-watering assembly of crossover cohorts, including Common, Jill Scott and Lupe Fiasco.
