U2’s Bono and The Edge have released the lead-off single from the Music from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark album. They back singer Reeve Carney on “Rise Above 1.”
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is the Broadway musical with songs written by Bono and The Edge and starring Reeve Carney (from rock band Carney) in the lead role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, while Carney, his band, act as the musical’s orchestra.
The single, “Rise Above 1,” was produced by Alex Da Kid, while June’s forthcoming album Music From Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was overseen by U2 production mainstay Steve Lillywhite.
The Spider-Man musical got off to a rocky start for Bono and The Edge with constant delays and rewrites, as well as some technical accidents. However, previews are now happening at New York City’s Foxwoods Theatre. The musical officially opens June 14, and Bono today insisted everything is back on track.
He told the Hollywood Reporter, “We’re opening Spider-Man on the 14th. I promise it’s not been cancelled, and we’re very excited about it. It’s almost there, it will be there by opening night.”
Listen to “Rise Above 1” below, a track full of classic U2 moves.
