U2 Turns to the Latino World With 'Carnaval de Luz,' Its First Album in Nine Years: Rosalía, Mexico and ICE-Era Imagery in 'Silencio'

U2 is returning with its first studio album of new material in nine years, and the Irish rock band's new era has an unmistakable musical connection to the Spanish-speaking world.

There is the title, Carnaval de Luz. There are songs called "La Reina" and "Silencio." Spanish superstar Rosalía appears on another track. Mexico City has become a major setting for the band's new visuals. And now there are masked men in tactical gear seizing a person in the newly released video for "Silencio," imagery that evokes scenes of masked immigration agents conducting arrests in the United States.
