U2<\/a> have released their new album Carnaval de Luz<\/em><\/a>, and with it their duet with the late Dolly Parton<\/a>. The LP\u2019s closing track, \u201cTorn\u201d is supposedly the last song Parton recorded before her death in August. It was co-written with Snow Patrol<\/a>\u2019s Johnny McDaid, and features steadfast U2 collaborator Daniel Lanois<\/a> on pedal steel. \u201cTorn apart these loving hearts that beat and break the same,\u201d Parton and Bono sing atop a gentle synth pulse and spare, echoing drums. \u201cWe share a house divided and the blood that fills our veins.\u201d Listen below.<\/p>\n Carnaval de Luz<\/em> marks U2\u2019s first studio album since 2017\u2019s Songs of Experience<\/em><\/a>. It was preceded this year by two surprise EPs\u2014Days of Ash<\/em> and Easter Lily<\/em>. \u201cTorn\u201d may be Dolly Parton\u2019s final song, but it won\u2019t be the last Dolly Parton song we ever hear. There apparently exists an unheard recording<\/a>, titled \u201cMy Place in History,\u201d sealed away in a vault at Dollywood, to be unsealed on Parton\u2019s 100th birthday in 2046.<\/p>\n Read Sam Sodomsky\u2019s new review of Carnaval de Luz<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
