Songs of Experience (U2 album)
Songs of Experience is the fourteenth studio album by Irish rock band U2. Released on 1 December 2017, it was produced by Jacknife Lee and Ryan Tedder with Steve Lillywhite, Andy Barlow, Jolyon Thomas, Brent Kutzle, Paul Epworth, Danger Mouse, and Declan Gaffney. The album is intended to be a companion piece to U2's previous record, Songs of Innocence (2014). Whereas its predecessor explored the group members' adolescence in Ireland in the 1970s, Songs of Experience thematically is a collection of letters written by lead vocalist Bono to people and places closest to his heart. The album features guest appearances from several musical acts, including Haim, Kendrick Lamar, and Lady Gaga.
Songs of Experience (U2 album)
Lead singer Bono underwent open-heart surgery in December 2016, which affected the album's lyrical direction.
In May 2017, U2 began performing "The Little Things That Give You Away" during the Joshua Tree Tour 2017, making it the first new song from the album that they debuted.
