U2 working with pop songwriter for new album

[Registered Dude]

There's more than two tweets. He's also quotes as saying:

"There's a long way to go but we are doing something with U2."

Is that from Twitter or the Sun, because the Sun never makes up quotes.

A comment as vague as that is not particularly convincing.

 

[mama cass]

we are doing something with U2

well they're saying they're doing something with U2...

the mind boggles!

I wanted to post a "thread delivers" meme but at only 13 pages we've fallen short of the usual standard.

Cmon Interference, you can do better than that!

It'll be a remix of the first single no one but us listens to.

Well, according to Carl Falk's twitter account, this is Carl Falk:

According to Carl Falk's wikipedia page, this is Carl Falk:

2 swedish dance producers named Carl Falk? What are the odds of that?

Who the Falk is who?

Sorry....I'll go back in my cave

The tweets where from January? and yet the sun just pick up on it now and decide it means he is producing

 

[mama cass]

if anything, surely it must be a collaboration for something like a remix and nothing more... that wouldn't surprise me at all, but songwriting input (which i highly doubt it is) would!

Having dinner in Paris. That's a long way, right?

Look get over it, Bono and Falk are co-writing the whole album. Nice pop tunes. All they've got to decide is the colour of the stools each band member is gonna sit on and there good to go.

 

[Von Schloopen]

well, if The Sun says so...

The last time U2 dabbled in Pop the result was freaking awesome. Hopefully we find out by the end of this decade

When was that?

 

[SecretFly]

U2 set to team up with One Direction songwriters for new material | Metro.co.uk

This was also reported in the uk newspaper called the sun saying that u2 are going to turn into a boyband.

If true Working with a guy who has wrote songs for Nicki Minaj Taio Cruz, Nicole Scherzinger ,Westlife and boyzone dosent really bode well does it?

I wouldnt knock it until ive heard the tunes (like i said if its true) but i really think they need to stop all this relevent bo##ocks. Theve had a superb run in the charts more then most so please just let it go.

I so hope this is not true. Please god let this be false

 

[corianderstem]

When was that?

The album called Pop?

when was that?

1997.

 

[Hollow Island]

His techno stuff isn't bad. If he brought some of that to U2 it could be pretty good. If they want to work with "electronic" artists there are better choices though.

That wasn't pop music.

U2 rote Miamii!1!!11

 

[corianderstem]

That wasn't pop music.

He's not saying it was, he was making a "pun" out of the album title. Hence its capitalization in his post.

(It's not capitalized when I quoted it, which is strange, but the original post has the capitalization, as does your quoting of it. Weird.)

I had hoped that a year spent looking back at the making of Achtung Baby would send them down a different path than this. Obviously we don't know if there is any truth to this just yet and I have a hard time believing Larry would let this happen. We'll see....

 

[Rachel D.]

They could either be trying really hard to fit in with Top 40 radio this time, or this guy could just be adding a new element to their music in the context of U2 and will not be making them sound like a boy band.

and I have a hard time believing Larry would let this happen.

Exactly. Larry is there to counteract Bono, so let's hope he's doing his job. If not...

In Larry we trust

 

[KUEFC09U2]

How can people judge someone based on the work they do with a boyband? should we not wait until we actually hear something he has done with U2 before we proclaim him to be a shit producer?, i
