Invisible, from the group&#8217;s as-yet-unannounced 13th studio album, will appear on a commercial as part of a team-up by Bank of America and Bono&#8217;s Red campaign. Once the commercial airs, fans will have 24 hours to pick up Invisible as a free download from the iTunes Store.  <!--more-->  During that period, Bank of America have agreed to donate up to $2m (\u00a31.2m) to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria &#8211; allotting $1 (\u00a30.60) to the charity every time the song is downloaded.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bank of America&#8217;s $2m download promise is much smaller than what they are reportedly paying to air an ad during the Super Bowl. Fox Sports are allegedly charging advertisers around $4m (\u00a32.4) for each 30-second commercial. But Bank of America have pledged to generate more than $10m (\u00a36m) altogether, as well as soliciting donations from the public. For U2 and friends, the American football game&#8217;s 120m viewers are an enormous pool of possible donors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[This is] the kind of game-changing influence that will not just deliver millions of dollars but raise consciousness and keep public pressure on putting an end to this devastating pandemic,&#8221; Bono said in a statement. According to his press release, the Gates Foundation, SAP and South Africa&#8217;s Motsepe mining clan have &#8220;matched&#8221; the Bank of America&#8217;s financial commitment &#8220;for a total [donation] of $22m&#8221;. &#8220;Incredible,&#8221; the singer said.<\/p>\n<p>Invisible will be the second new song to have been released by U2 in recent months. The first, Ordinary Love, appeared as part of the soundtrack to Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. It is one of five Oscar nominees for best original song.<\/p>\n<p>U2&#8217;s new record, their first since 2009, is thought to have been produced by Danger Mouse. &#8220;I can&#8217;t really discuss it so I can&#8217;t really quote anything about it but it&#8217;s still ongoing and that&#8217;s all I can really say, to be honest,&#8221; Danger Mouse said in a Rolling Stone interview published this week. According to Billboard, Interscope will be releasing the LP in the United States, with Island Records representing the band everywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>Source: The Guardian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U2 have confirmed plans to premiere a new song during next weekend&#8217;s Super Bowl.
