U2's Easter Lily EP: Reflective, Joyful, and Legendary

On April 3rd, U2 just dropped their new EP called Easter Lily on Island Records, earning

four stars from critics.

Its six fresh tracks coming hot on the heels of their late February release, Days of Ash,

which was their first new music since 2017 with six protest songs.

This one's build as more reflective and personal, setting the stage for a defiantly joyful,

full album later this year.

The Edge brings that classic fire.

Echoing the majesty of their 1987 Masterpiece, The Joshua Tree, especially with his effects

heavy.

Guitar leading the charge.

Fans and reviewers are loving how it dives into real human stuff, like friendship,

loss, and hope.

Bono gets candid on tracks like In A Life, stressing he never did it alone, while the

Edge even takes lead vocals on song, for How, A Heart Felt Not To.

Producer Howe Wilner, who passed in 2020.

The back half gets spiritual, perfect for Easter timing, with Resurrection Song painting

a road trip vibe, and Easter Parade channeling, Beatles style, Psychedelia.

Plus, old collaborator Brianino pops up on Coexist, blending past and present seamlessly.

All this has U2 firing on all cylinders again, reminding us why they stayed legends for

decades.
