U2's New Single: A Joyful Exploration
Discover the Garden Tarts' take on U2's "Street of Dreams".
Hey there, Lemon Tarts!
This week, Hillary and Jenny dive into U2's latest single, "Street of Dreams," from their upcoming album. It's a first-time listen together, and what a journey it is!
First Impressions
"Street of Dreams" brings a wave of excitement. As Jenny notes, "Why were people poo pooing this before they even heard it? It's great!" We agree the track is full of joy and captures the uplifting vibe that we need.
What's in the Video?
Hillary noticed some quirky elements, like a chicken appearing on screen, prompting her to wonder if it's a secret message from Bono. Jenny found the documentary-style visuals to be a fun way to engage with the song.
Musical Highlights
We both love the strong presence of Adam and Larry's rhythm section. Hillary mentions how "the bass just jumps out," which adds a new layer to the band's sound. And then there's Bono's vocals, always a delight, especially when he sings his own backing vocals. (Ha!)
Looking Ahead
While the single left us eager for more, we wonder if each song on the upcoming album to be released individually. "You can concentrate on it for a week or something before the next one comes out," says Hillary.
