Songs of Experience by U2

After dropping the album's first two tracks over the past week, U2 just confirmed that their Songs of Innocence follow-up will finally arrive in December after a series of delays. Contributors include Ryan Tedder, Steve Lillywhite, and Jacknife Lee, and the album will include a new version of "XXX," the band's collaboration with Kendrick Lamar (which first appeared on the latter's Damn).
