November 1, 2017 – For Immediate Release: Songs of Experience, the 14th studio album from U2, will be released December 1st, 2017 by Interscope Records in the U.S. and via Universal Canada on CD, vinyl, digital download and across streaming platforms. Accompanying the announcement of the Songs of Experience release, Live Nation has confirmed that U2’s eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour will begin in North America in May 2018. Just as Songs of Experience serves as a companion piece to 2014’s Songs of Innocence, the eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour will serve as a sequel to 2015’s iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour which saw “U2 reinvent the arena show” (Rolling Stone) and was named the #1 concert of 2015 by The New York Times. The tour will kick off on Wednesday, May 2nd 2018 in Tulsa at the BOK Center. Full itinerary below. Pre-order of Songs of Experience is available now and across all digital platforms will include three instant grat songs: The previously unreleased "Get Out of Your Own Way,” first single "You’re The Best Thing About Me" which was released on September 6th, and the album version of “The Blackout,” previously released as a performance video in August. All three songs are available now to stream across all platforms. Fans who pre-order the deluxe version of the album will also receive the Kygo remix of “You’re The Best Thing About Me.” In addition to unveiling album artwork by Anton Corbijn, U2 has revealed the final tracklist of Songs of Experience which was completed earlier this year. The lyrical approach of the album was greatly inspired by Irish poet, novelist and Trinity College, Dublin Professor Emeritus Brendan Kennelly’s advice to Bono to “write as if you’re dead’, resulting in a collection of songs in the form of intimate letters to places and people close to the singer’s heart - family, friends, fans, himself.

  • Teaching Latin Love Poetry with Pop Music1
    Teaching Classical Languages Volume 10, Issue 2 Kopestonsky 71 Never Out of Style: Teaching Latin Love Poetry with Pop Music1 Theodora B. Kopestonsky University of Tennessee, Knoxville ABSTRACT Students often struggle to interpret Latin poetry. To combat the confusion, teachers can turn to a modern parallel (pop music) to assist their students in understanding ancient verse. Pop music is very familiar to most students, and they already trans- late its meaning unconsciously. Building upon what students already know, teach- ers can reframe their approach to poetry in a way that is more effective. This essay shows how to present the concept of meter (dactylic hexameter and elegy) and scansion using contemporary pop music, considers the notion of the constructed persona utilizing a modern musician, Taylor Swift, and then addresses the pattern of the love affair in Latin poetry and Taylor Swift’s music. To illustrate this ap- proach to connecting ancient poetry with modern music, the lyrics and music video from one song, Taylor Swift’s Blank Space (2014), are analyzed and compared to poems by Catullus. Finally, this essay offers instructions on how to create an as- signment employing pop music as a tool to teach poetry — a comparative analysis between a modern song and Latin poetry in the original or in translation. KEY WORDS Latin poetry, pedagogy, popular music, music videos, song lyrics, Taylor Swift INTRODUCTION When I assign Roman poetry to my classes at a large research university, I re- ceive a decidedly unenthusiastic response. For many students, their experience with poetry of any sort, let alone ancient Latin verse, has been fraught with frustration, apprehension, and confusion.

  • Alicia Keys Unleashes New Single “Love Looks Better”
    ALICIA KEYS UNLEASHES NEW SINGLE “LOVE LOOKS BETTER” The 15-Time GRAMMY Winner Premiered the Song in a Live Performance during Last Night’s 2020 NFL Kickoff Broadcast The Single is the Latest Offering from Keys’ Forthcoming Album ALICIA STREAM/DOWNLOAD “LOVE LOOKS BETTER” DOWNLOAD ARTWORK PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE ALICIA New York, NY -- September 11, 2020 -- Last night, global music superstar Alicia Keys released her anthemic new single “Love Looks Better,” from her highly-anticipated seventh studio album ALICIA (via RCA Records). The song - loud, passionate and unapologetically vulnerable - is a high-energy offering from Keys, who was recently crowned the most RIAA-certified R&B artist of the 21st century. The track was co-written and co-produced by Keys, along with OneRepublic frontman and hitmaker Ryan Tedder. “Love Looks Better” is now available to download and stream HERE. Keys premiered the single with a show-stopping performance during last night’s 2020 NFL Kickoff broadcast, after announcing a $1 billion fund that the NFL league will be contributing to, aimed at supporting Black businesses and communities. Earlier this week, she reflected on her participation in the event with a powerful letter, shared with Billboard, about moving forward and using her platform to provoke conversation and change. “This song has such an energy! It really talks about how busy we’ve become and how fast we’ve gotten used to moving. Now we realize that my love looks better on you. It’s time to really be present for each other. This feels like something we can all understand now, and it’s the perfect energy heading into the release of my new album ALICIA,” Keys said.
