Pope Francis releasing a rock album, really.

As you may have heard, Pope Francis is in NYC right now delighting followers and annoying grumpy commuters all over the city. What you may not have heard is that Pope Francis is releasing a pop album. Kind of. It's titled Wake Up! and features "the sacred hymns of the musical Christian tradition reworked by contemporary composers with extracts from Pope Francis' speeches." Spoken in four languages, the music is equally global, with songs ranging from pop, rock and Latin music to Gregorian chants. You can get a taste via "Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!" which is in anthemic, arena-rock mode. Listen, and check out the Wake Up! tracklist (and its many contributors), below. The LP's out November 27.

Listen to a song here... PLEASE LISTEN.

Nothing about the pope surprises me anymore. I'll be more surprised if he makes a dubstep or an extreme metal album.
