that's what i feel (:

i don't understand why some of us are getting a little too nervous over the fact that it's gonna be "Hispanic". It's not like they're gonna have sombreros and a Mariachi band...it's just the vibe and that it was recorded in a Hispanic country

:laugh3: You're right. Although I think what it means with 'Hispanic' sound is they probably put some sample of Hispanic music played by traditional Hispanic music instruments into some of their songs. Or they create melodies inspired by Hispanic music / sound. Just like The Beatles that put the sound of sitar into their songs after they visited India. I think it's not bad at all for Coldplay to try to do the same thing. :)

or is it

:sombrero::sombrero::sombrero::sombrero:

:P

:sombrero::sombrero::sombrero::sombrero:

:P

 

hahaha Ian didn't added those for no reason :lol:

^ haha, now im picturing the boys in sombreros

that could be their new stage attire :laugh4:

Hispanic sounds good.

 

I like the syncopated beats and such they have sometimes, and I like all the instruments they use, except the accordion! PLEASE NO! :laugh3:

 

I hope Will picks up some cool Latin beats or something... haha.

Will switched to the violin

Qwerty, you're insane. :laugh3:

 

*deep breath* I trust you, Coldplay.

Its not going to end up being "a regular album" it'll either be amazing, or so terrible we go butterfly effect on its ass and surpress like theres no tomorrow!

yea..

 

latinamerican music is not all about mariachis or salsa , and , spanish music isn't all about castanets either. and argentinian music is not all tango !

 

it felt so good to hear that the album was inspired by my city , buenos aires ,

but i don't think coldplay meant that... i'll get mad if there's a tango-song in the album lol

GOD FORBID ! lol

 

anyway.... let's hope the best for this .

Will switched to the violin

:laugh3: :laugh3:

 

*deep breath* I trust you, Coldplay.

Yup! Let's think positive! :)

It's going to sound like this:

 

oh please no hispanic influence...

i hate hispanic music

^I hope it'll be a slight influence.

 

Well, I guess it can't be bad.

^I hope it'll be a slight influence.

 

Well, I guess it can't be bad.

 

Guessing is all we've got now. :D

New album will be blessed with Hispanic theme

Coldplay Go To Church, Say New Album Will Be Blessed With 'Hispanic Theme'

 

'The sights, sounds and flavors of Latin America and Spain have definitely been infused into this album,' band says in post.

Coldplay's fourth album is shaping up to be quite the affair: Brian Eno behind the decks, recording sessions at church altars and — apparently — a "strengthening Hispanic theme."

That's according to the bandmembers themselves, who posted a handwritten message on their site detailing the recording of their follow-up to 2005's X&Y, which they're working on in Barcelona, Spain. But before you get all excited for flamenco guitars and paeans to paella, remember, this is Coldplay we're talking about.

"The sights, sounds and flavors of Latin America and Spain have definitely been infused into this album. The band visited Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Mexico earlier this year. Chris [Martin] then came up with the idea of recording in Spain," the post reads. "The music and lyrics have begun to reflect the strengthening Hispanic theme. No maracas or castanets, but a vibrancy and colorfulness that owes much to the atmospheres of Buenos Aires [Argentina] and Barcelona. The effect is subtle but important."

See, subtle. That's sort of been the theme Coldplay have employed for album number four. After all, the "announcement" that they were working with Eno didn't come via some wordy press release, but rather through an offhand comment the producer made in a BBC Radio interview back in February (see "Break's Over: Coldplay Tap Super-Producer Brian Eno For X&Y Follow-Up"). And that news came on the heels of the announcement that the band wasn't working on an album at all — rather, Coldplay were settling in to enjoy "a much-deserved break," according to a spokesperson for their label, Capitol (see "No Five-Year Hiatus For Coldplay — But They Are Taking A Break").

And for their upcoming album, they're even keeping their travel subtle: trekking from church to church, recording on the fly. It's a manner somewhat unbecoming for one of the biggest rock acts in the world and its mega-famous producer, but according to the post, everyone seems to be enjoying the whole "under-the-radar" shtick.

"We've been traveling light — an acoustic guitar, a couple of mics, a laptop and some headphones. We're recording in Barcelona, moving from church to church, setting up where we can: in front of the altar, under the pulpit," the post continues. "We've been playing at the feet of archangels. It's an odd scene: a host of saints look down impassively upon four unkempt bandmembers, circled around a single mic stand, singing loudly together as recorded guitars reverberate around the church. They're laying down backing vocals. Brian often joins them: group singing is one of his greatest joys."

Funny, we always pegged Eno for more of a song-and-dance man. Anyway, earlier posts on Coldplay's site also indicate that Eno's longtime collaborator Markus Dravs is also along for the ride, and that the band has been working on 25 "pieces" of music for the new album. But there's still no release date or title, and Capitol had no additional information about the project when contacted by MTV News.

Thanks for the news story. Can't wait for Album 4!!!

ugh

I hope this album is out soon! :D

Well, "hispanic" music it´s not only salsa, or mambo... I mean, I´m from Argentina and we don´t have a great tradition on that kind of music. And they said they were inspired by Buenos Aires, so...

now i think that this album sounds more English than Spanish
