U2 is back with their first new music in almost a decade. The Irish rock legends U2 have released a powerful new track, “American Obituary,” as the lead song on their surprise EP Days of Ash. The song serves as a tribute to Renee Good, the Minneapolis mother of three who was killed during federal immigration raids, and features Bono’s emotionally charged lyrics expressing grief, outrage, and a call for justice. Described by the band as a “song of fury”, the track continues U2’s long history of blending rock with social comment
