U2 get Magnificent in Morocco
Posted by SPun2U on May 26, 2009 in News & Rumors, Releases | Comments Off
Irish rockers U2 have released the video for their second single, “Magnificent”, off of their successful new album “No Line on the Horizon”.
Unlike the video for the first single “Get on Your Boots”, which had images of outer space and sexy girls in military uniforms, “Magnificent” takes a softer approach.
Directed by Alex Courtez (who also directed “Boots”), the band is seen walking through the streets of Fes, Morocco with the desert sun beating down on them. They walk with the locals as white sheets drape the surrounding buildings. Also, they are seen playing in a Moroccan house. Their guitars and amps are propped against the mosaic walls.
As per their official website, U2.com, “Magnificent” will be remixed an astounding four times. Versions of the song by Soha, Adam K, Redanka, Peter Tong, and Fred Falke are available for downloading.
U2 are no strangers to the mythical city of Fes. They recorded parts of their new album there and on the song “Fez: Being Born”, the Moroccan vibe is evident.
Let’s hope they bring a little bit of Morocco with them on their upcoming tour! But for now, satisfy your U2 craving with their “Magnificent” video.
