Bono Explains Why U2 Wrote A Song About Rosalía
U2 have got a new album on the way, and it turns out one of the tracks is inspired by Rosalía, the Spanish artist who's been making serious waves in pop and flamenco fusion. Bono's stepped in to explain the connection, which is a reminder that even the biggest bands are still paying attention to what's happening in contemporary music around the world. For Cledvibes Radio listeners who've been following Rosalía's rise, it's quite something to hear that she's caught the attention of one of rock's most enduring frontmen. It suggests there's more cross-pollination happening between different corners of the music world than you might expect.
From Stereogum: Last week, U2 announced Carnaval de Luz, the followup to 2017's Songs Of Experience. There was some confusion when the tracklist included a song called "The Mirror Maker (Rosalía)," and now Bono is offering us insight into the track.
