U2 released a brand new song “Atomic City”, just hours before opening night of their U2:UV shows at Sphere in Las Vegas. You can hear the new song in the player below.
Produced by long-time U2 collaborators and friends Jacknife Lee and Steve Lillywhite, “Atomic City” was recorded at Sound City in Los Angeles. The single comes ahead of the band’s run of Las Vegas dates between now and December 16 — a celebration of their seminal 1991 album Achtung Baby in the massive, state-of-the-art multimedia Sphere.
“Atomic City” is a three-and-a-half-minute homage to the magnetic spirit of the 1970s post-punk era with a nod to Blondie, whose pioneering work with Giorgio Moroder inspired and influenced the band.
“It’s a love song to our audience,” Bono says, adding “’where you are is where I’ll be’.”
