Surprise! U2 Release 'Songs of Innocence' Through iTunes At Apple Keynote
We knew that Apple would be rolling out some surprises at their big product launch today. We just didn't know that Bono would be showing up in some capacity, and we definitely didn't think that U2 would be revealing some pretty huge details about Songs of Innocence, their new album.
Today, U2 joined Apple CEO Tim Cook onstage to share the album's title, its release date (today!), where fans can find it (iTunes! See, this makes sense!) and that it's going to be delivered free-of-charge to each and every person who uses iTunes. Immediately. If you go into your iTunes on your computer right this very moment, you'll find Songs of Innocence there waiting for you nearly a month before it's available at other retailers.
