Posted September 30, 20231 yr U2 came back with their first new "proper" single in quite a while yesterday! TNMsGVwUXc0
September 30, 20231 yr Their Vegas show at that new sphere venue looked incredible from the clips on social media! This track is also their best in a little while, the start of the chorus reminds me a bit of Call Me by Blondie, which is interesting as the title includes the word Atomic :lol:
September 30, 20231 yr Author Yeah, I'm quite enjoying it! God knows why they thought that cover art was a good idea though...
September 30, 20231 yr Yeah sounds decent to me. Not been as into some of their later 00's material quite so much so prob their best since either 'Windows...' or 'One' for me!
October 1, 20231 yr oh so I see this is really based on Blondie-Call me cos Deborah Harry and Moroder re credited Written By Adam Clayton, Bono, Debbie Harry, Giorgio Moroder, Larry Mullen Jr. & The Edge
October 3, 20231 yr oh so I see this is really based on Blondie-Call me cos Deborah Harry and Moroder re credited Written By Adam Clayton, Bono, Debbie Harry, Giorgio Moroder, Larry Mullen Jr. & The Edge Probably another case where they're quickly credited as writers after someone realised the similarity between the two songs and they wanted to avoid a legal situation!
October 4, 20231 yr Author The band’s press release describes the song as “ homage to the magnetic spirit of ’70’s post punk with a nod to Blondie, whose pioneering work with Giorgio Moroder inspired and influenced the band”, so the sample may have been intentional from the start.
October 4, 20231 yr Yeah that's possible I guess, but the press release could equally have been written after the similarities were noticed.
