All of Coldplay was in Sweden, remember that bathroom tile or something in the Swedish studio where they signed their names?

So yeah I do think it could reference Max Martin...

I later saw that one of Sweden's biggest newspapers had filmed him outside Martin's studio, so case is pretty much solved I think.

Unless...What is bigger than meatballs in Sweden? Ikea and......AB....? ?

Hi.

Thought I'd relay what I was told. Probably nothing new but based on some posts I saw here I thought I'd state the kinda obvious:

Higher Power is the 1st single,

Music Of The Spheres is the album title and it drops in the summer.

I'm guessing they'll announce the release date next week. Don't quote me on that one tho.

I hope so..

Dunno if this is it... I'll keep trying

Anyone tried overlaying constellations over this, seeing if there are any links to the letters? Looking a bit like the big dipper here.

Also, another thought, if the letters were originally one image, and thats been blown apart to create the font/typeface

Still the same - Higher Power; Coldplay

I think it's just random but I could be wrong!

Edit: nevermind! Very curious as to why they would change their profile pic to the single though. You'd think it would be album art and not have to just do with the single.

They did change their profile pic to sun and moon while teasing Everyday Life. But after announcement they changed it to 4 of them sitting part from album art. I think it will change soon.

Just my opinion, but I think it's pretty evident this stands for COLDPLAY HIGHER POWER. I like your idea but I don't think there is a hidden meaning to that, or a second anagram.

[CP-EST]

So, what are your expectations for the next days until the release? How they are going to step up their promotion game? Maybe some cryptic video message or short snippet of a song at the end of this week?

As we know, on May 5th Chris is performing on that Dell Technologies World thingy. Do we get to taste of something new on there already?

May 7th is the date in the code - official release date of Higher Power supposedly. Most probably they are on BBC 1 Breakfast with Greg James. Any other rumours?

That't the image I meant, they were all in Sweden. The pic was not at Max Martin's studio but at Benny Andersson's (from ABBA)...who knows who they collaborate with.

So has someone compared voices and checked if either Max Martin or Benny Andersson would fit with the Swedish meatball recipe voice?

This guy is probably fuming right now

I wonder if this is to tell us we have to expect something on YT Music...

I’m not sure because a lot of artists get that exact same spot with the YouTube music sign, like Celeste in this post below and when I’ve seen it before I don’t remember it being anything to do with a YoutTube Music exclusive if that’s what you mean. I think they’re just similar to the Amazon Music billboards that tend to say ‘Alexa play Coldplay’ etc as a way to promote both the brand and the artist, rather than saying you’ll hear this music here first/exclusively

Oh ok, it's just a spot rented to YT Music then.

Coldplay officially changed the profile pic on Spotify, putting the sphere with the new text for Higher Power image

 

[the_escapist]

We could be hours away from a music snippet!

I am so happy and excited.

I feel so lucky that I can enjoy another era with the band.

And of course, another era to share and enjoy here at Coldplaying!

[Ex&Why]

So for my own sanity (insanity) heres the higher power sphere converted to our alphabet. Also rotated the letters how they appear in the higher power sphere. Nothing here I don't think. There is a 'YEAH" at the bottom and 'WHO' along the top, but I'm clutching at straws.

Did anyone figure out the whole meaning of these 5 little symbols that are appearing on the posters and website along these Kaotican texts? Didn't find much about these in this Google Doc. Some of these symbols were already visible on the Music of the Spheres photo in Everyday Life booklet.

Looking at the meaning of these, they either seem to have some spiritual meaning behind it or it could have something to do with symbols of the Earth's Spheres and different sources of energy. For example:

   -  one of the symbol for air or Atmosphere. 

I could find quite strong connection between the title "Higher Power" and spiral symbol   . Basicly it seems to have some background from Reiki. There is Cho Ku Rei symbol and Rei part of it is spiral. And Rei bascily means God's Wisdom or the Higher Power.

You can Google it, but here are some the sources: 

https://www.reiki.org/faqs/what-reiki

https://reikiscoop.com/cho-ku-rei-reiki-symbol-about-its-meaning-and-how-to-draw-and-use-it/

So if anyone wants to dig further into these symbols, these were some of the possible ideas.

Very interesting! I could see it being the reference, especially coming from Chris. It feels like something he'd be into.

 

BTW i don't know if anyone noticed, but the message on the website is back to "this joy is electric".

BOOM GUYS!

If you go on the main signal on Alienradio.fm for some seconds, you can now access to a video! That's the video:

I think it's like an alphabet about how to pronounce the letters...
