Before the official announcement, guitarist The Edge had hinted at the project to fans in an unusual way: by sending letters. “When a song becomes famous, it’s always associated with a specific voice. I can’t imagine’Tangled Up In Blue‘ without the timbre of bob dylanor ‘All The Time In The World‘ without the unique voice of louis armstrong. So what happens when a voice evolves, and experience and maturity add resonance to it?” he asked in writing (via NME).

The musician explained that when the original tracks were recorded, everyone was very young, and these songs have changed over time. “They mean something different to us now. Some grew with us. Some didn’t. But we haven’t lost sight of what motivated us to write them. The essence is still in us. How can we reconnect with that essence after growing up and changing so much?” ?”, continued.

“Once we got beyond our reverence for the original versions, each song began to open up to a new and authentic voice from this period, from the people we are now and particularly the person we bono it became. I hope you like our new direction,” The Edge finished.
