    Lorde, the New Zealand-born pop star, came into the fire-lit lounge of her downtown Manhattan hotel a few minutes past 11, apologizing for the lateness of the hour — funny story, she said. She’d been commuting daily to a Greenwich Village recording studio, plugging away at new music, but today U2, who had reserved the space, arrived and commandeered it. Lorde found a smaller studio available farther uptown, and though the move was inconvenient, she saw the humor in being inadvertently evicted by Bono — it was just one more marker of how strange her life has been since she became famous, four years ago, at 16. “I actually saw the Edge in the gym here,” she said with a grin. “I thought about saying something, but I decided, Nahhh.”

    Quite probably the Electric Lady Studios that the guys were using last month.
  2. Kendrick Lamar's album has been leaked.

    Bono sings on XXX.

    Edit: That was underwhelming.
  3. Where has it leaked?

    According to Hasitleaked.com it didn't EDIT: That was horrible
  4. This new song xxx is pure crap. If this will be the standard for SOE they can better flush it down the toilet.
  5. It's a Kendrick Lamar song. Bono sings 6 lines.
  6. All 4 members are credited, yes. I can only hear U2's influence like from 2:30 onwards. It was written by 9 people in total.
  7. Also, why the f*** are they trying to be cool with this crap hip hop artist?

    The 1st 23 seconds is 100% Edge and Adam playing.
    2:30 onwards is U2. The drum is Larry, Bass is for sure Adam. Edge is playing the piano
  9. A lot of positivity on Twitter towards the track.
