U2's forthcoming album, 'Carnaval De Luz', includes a track titled 'The Mirror Maker (Rosalía)', dedicated to Spanish singer Rosalía. The song is a tribute to her as an 'extraordinary artist', marking a departure from U2's usual themes of writing about people in jail or deceased individuals. Bono, the band's lead vocalist, expressed that it was a celebration of Rosalía's artistry. The track is set to be the fourth on the album, which is scheduled for release on November 13, 2026. Prior to releasing the song, Bono reached out to Rosalía to inform her about the tribute. As they had not met in person, Bono contacted actress Penélope Cruz, a mutual friend, to facilitate the introduction. Rosalía responded positively, offering her approval for the song. The collaboration highlights the mutual respect and admiration between the artists, bridging the gap between different musical genres and cultures.
