Magnificent – U2′s official video full of sheet
Watch the video for ‘Magnificent’, the second single off U2′s album No Line on the Horizon. It was directed by Alex Courtes and shot in Fez, Morocco. Which is such a beautiful place they had to cover it up with sheets, like Christo. Um, that’s a wrap?

The second single from No Line On The Horizon, Magnificent, will be released on May 4th. There will be a promo video for it, shot in Morocco. This is a live version, filmed at The Somerville Theatre in Boston.
You know, it would be nice if U2.com allowed embedding of their videos. This is the ’00′s, maaaan. Also, for the suits: embedding is a powerful branding tool. And we didn’t have to show this blurry rip.
U2′s new single to premiere on Irish radio

First review of U2′s new single ‘Get On Your Boots’
Alan Cross, the host of the radio edition of ExploreMusic, has heard U2′s new song ‘Get On Your Boots’, expected to be the band’s first single off their upcoming album ‘No Line on the Horizon’. He describes the song and his 20+ years experience with the rituals and security surrounding a new U2 release. He writes:
“There are some new sounds that could only come from an Eno/Lanois production, which left me with a feeling similar to what I experienced when I heard “The Fly” for the first time. This is NOT a back-to-basics guitar/bass/drums track like “Vertigo” or even “Beautiful Day.” There’s some definite sonic evolution going on here. “
