.U2 have reimagined 40 songs from across their catalog for a new album, 'Songs of Surrender.'
The band announced the project Tuesday, Jan. 10, with a minute-long trailer on YouTube. The clip features an atmospheric rendition of “Beautiful Day,” paired with a moving collage filled with video and images of U2 throughout their career, plus key moments from history and other bits of pop ephemera.
The Edge went on to say that the project “started as an experiment” but quickly became an “obsession as so many early U2 songs yielded to a new interpretation.” He continued: “Intimacy replaced post-punk urgency. New keys, new chords, new tempos and new lyrics arrived… Once we surrendered our reverence for the original version, each song started to open up to a new anthemic voice of this time, of the people we are now, and particularly the singer that Bono has become.
