Bono and Edge at the C-stage

"We want to make a record that is right in the in the zeitgeist of what's going on at the moment. I just feel like the world is in in a very precarious position at the moment. There are these horrendous wars that are going on and actually what we really need to unite behind is trying to solve the climate change problem. That's our biggest issue. Not that this is necessarily going to be the theme of another record but I think it just is it it's the antidote to you know. Pop music doesn't really address these things and that's that's what we want to do." - Adam on a new album, November 2023
