I like most genres of music but this is one that I cannot warm to. Pretty much grew up through school with Rap and Hip Hop in a great place with its popularity surging.....
I was always into great grooves, great melodies and a great vocal, mainly Dance and Rock music.
I can however appreciate very good songwriting under the rap and hip hop genre, I like the nod to America and the political phenomenon that has just occurred.
I can understand politically why Bono would want to feature on this track but it's a bit bizarre and has left me feeling confused about it all to be honest [emoji4]
Overall it's not something I would listen to let alone buy, shouldn't it just be Bono credited on the song and not U2? I can only hear a electronic production going on in 'XXX'
You can't hear the piano? The second half of the song obviously has real drums as well. And surely you can hear the bass?
Mind you, I was playing it through my iPhone speakers [emoji23]
Ah. There is a very quiet backing track that almost sounds like seagulls, but other than that it is entirely real drums, a bass line and some piano chords (most likely played by Edge).
I'll have to bring the Sennheisers out and give it a proper listen tomorrow
Sounds great on my HD580s.
I need to get off any screens for the rest of the night, but yay! Can't wait to hear it tomorrow.
Are you sure? They sound canned to me.The second half of the song obviously has real drums as well.

I'm pretty sure - it's mostly in the cymbals.
Although, perhaps Larry wasn't on board...
