Hear U2’s Posthumous Dolly Parton Duet
U2 have released *Carnaval de Luz*, featuring “Torn”, a duet between Bono and Dolly Parton. The song is described as the last track Parton recorded before her death in August, giving the collaboration added significance.
Co-written by Parton and Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid, “Torn” features pedal steel by Daniel Lanois and a restrained arrangement of synths and drums. The album is U2’s first studio LP since 2017’s *Songs of Experience*, following two surprise EPs this year; another unreleased Parton recording is reportedly sealed at Dollywood for release on her 100th birthday in 2046.
In short
- U2’s new album closes with a Dolly Parton duet.
- “Torn” may be Parton’s final recorded song.
- A separate recording is reportedly due out in 2046.
