That's exactly what it is - they play clips of the songs and everything before the album has dropped. Don't think any other outlet has been granted this kind of access, it's great!
Hmmmm, mixed feelings. Love the verses, but it feels to retread Volcano like that to me (even though I love that part also). The lyrics are inert, refujesus is probably one of the worst U2 lyrics.
I think it would have been really cool song in this style (Bono's lower register, acoustic), I'm just not sure that this is the best song for that kind of style. Feels at odds with the poppy nature of the song.
Geeeeez if the "kygo remix" version is the single to be released on Tuesday then Interference will have a meltdown. It would make sense that they would hedge their bets by releasing The Blackout as their "rock single" though.
