The Sun - 'Coldplay keen to release new album as soon as possible'

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Via thesun.co.uk.

WITH ADELE, RIHANNA and ONE DIRECTION all still to release their new albums, the last quarter of 2015 is set to be a big one for music.

Now COLDPLAY are getting in on the act too.

I’m told CHRIS MARTIN and co are planning a surprise release of their seventh album, A Head Full Of Dreams, before the end of the year.

They will then launch a world tour next year, putting those split rumours to rest, once and for all.

My music spy revealed: “The album is almost finished and the band are keen to get it out as soon as possible.

“The last record was so depressing because it was about Chris’s split from GWYNETH PALTROW. But the new material is more upbeat with a pop feel.

“They have already finished eight tracks, which are all completely different.”

Yesterday the band’s rep remained coy on the matter, saying: “There is no release date set as they are still working on the record.”

However, another member of Coldplay’s team – string composer DAVIDE ROSSI – has confirmed the album is imminent.

He tagged Coldplay in a Facebook post and said their new album was one of his “projects about to be released”.

C’mon Chris, we’re waiting.

To add, string arranger/composer on 'A Head Full Of Dreams', Davide Rossi has expanded on his original tweet, to clarify that Coldplay's album is still in the works!

New Coldplay Material "About To Be Released"

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Seems like we won't have much longer to wait for new Coldplay material, as Davide Rossi, the string arranger/composer on 'A Head Full Of Dreams' dropped a hint that Coldplay's new project is "about to be released":

This suggests a 2015 release, which had been largely predicted by you, in a recent poll:

Mobile link

(function () {

var opst = document.createElement('script');

var os_host = document.location.protocol == "https:" ? "https:" : "http:";

opst.type = 'text/javascript';

opst.async = true;

opst.src = os_host + '//' + 'www.opinionstage.com/polls/2280756/embed.js';

(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] ||

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(opst);

}());

(If you've voted already, you can still change your vote, if you wish)

The Mysterious Message

Some of you may remember the album title message from a fan, before the 'Ghost Stories' era. It basically said that Coldplay's sixth album will be called 'Ghost Stories', based on them overhearing a conversation involving Chris Martin, on a plane. No one believed this, of course!

Now, someone 'who is close to the band' has dropped an anonymous message. It's predictable in most ways, based on the clues we've had so far. Of course though, this should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Coldplay are having an emergency recording session in Los Angeles in order to get the first single finished. It will be released in mid-late August. It will have its live debut at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City. They will announce a European arena tour in October which will happen in late November/early December. The album will be released in November. They will tour the world and do Glastonbury next year. I work with someone who is close to the band

'A Head Full Of Dreams' & Coldplay's Next Tour - What We've Learned So Far!

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A Head Full Of Dreams will be Coldplay's seventh record and is expected to launch the band back to total world domination, as the British superstars explore new musical horizons. The band's next world tour is also looming, with Coldplay looking set to return to Latin America. We will take you through what we've learned so far.

'A Head Full Of Dreams' tour

Let's start off with Coldplay's upcoming world tour.

Firstly, We don't know whether it will be named after their seventh LP but we do know from Chris that a global tour will follow the release of the album! Enjoyed jumping around to Charlie Brown during the Mylo Xylotour? 'AHFOD' will contain songs that 'you can shuffle your feet to' so no doubt, there will be some 'dancey'/energetic tunes to adds to Coldplays live bow, which also consists of A Sky Full Of Stars and Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall.

Coldplay are tipped to visit Italy, Turkey, India and will certainly be returning to Latin America, after a cancelled tour in 2013. A reputable Brazilian journalist only just 'confirmed' Coldplay's tour in Brazil (along with neighboring countries), scheduled for March 2016! This is coupled with consistent rumours beforehand, including concert 'negotiations' with the president of the Gremio arena in Porto Alegre. We shouldn't take this as official confirmation and the only time we'll know for sure is when Coldplay announce the tour but we sense that an announcement won't be too far away.

Xylobands are likely to return, as we saw during the BBC Music Awards and will be flashing in multiple colours. The Mylo Xyloto tour cost Coldplay $7m in Xylobands and they had to play many shows 'effectively for free' as a result. A huge investment but an absolute massive return for the both the band to play in front of them and for the fans to be part of the stunning visuals the Xylobands create.

The Why Not People? disability friendly Gig which is planned for this year, will feature the band and is tipped to kick off their tour, as numerous media sources report.

Coldplay are a confirmed act for the Global Citizen Festival in New York on 26th September 2015, as the band step in as 'backup'. They will perform a short set-list and it's not likely to be part of their upcoming tour preparations.

The Album Title - 'A Head Full Of Dreams'

The title was revealed by frontman, Chris Martin at the BBC Radio 1 studios (Zane Lowe's show) on December 5th 2014. This announcement was controversial among his fellow band mates and for the lead guitarist, Jonny Buckland in particular, who released his once in a decade occurring fit of rage upon Chris.

Chris Martin : He took away my microphone away for about an hour. He said no singing for you!

Chris mentioned the album title again, in a recent tweet, along with citing legendary Norwegian band, A-Ha as a major influence on them, including their song, 'Hunting High and Low',

. The mention of their Norwegian producers refers to record producing duo, Stargate.

Collaborations & Producers

Since the recording of 'Miracles' in 2014, Coldplay have been working with Stargate (Not for the TV series, SG-1!). The Norwegian producers are veterans of the pop industry, working with the likes of Rihanna and Katy Perry, along with Blue and Atomic Kitten in the early 00's. This could be an indication of the band's musical direction, along with their desire to break 'barriers' within the music industry, crafting together Stargate's glossy pop with Jonny Buckland's sweltering riffs and melodies.

Grammy Award winning sound mixing engineer, Phil Tan has confirmed his involvement with 'A Head Full Of Dreams'. His musical resume is similar to Stargate's, being more pop orientated. Phil boasts a huge wealth of experience, featuring on over 250 album credits (Iggy Azalea and Mariah Carey to name a few). This comes from a recent on-air interview:

String arranger/composer, Davide Rossi has returned to work with Coldplay once again. He has previously collaborated with the guys on their greatest hits, 'Viva La Vida' and 'Paradise'. You read the recent Coldplaying.com intrerview with Davide, here.

Rik Simpson continues to be a mainstay within Coldplay's camp and is helping to produce the future record.

Unless Chris has since changed his mind, he answered "we will" when asked whether another artist will feature on Coldplay's seventh album. Among the artists who could feature, Rihanna is largely tipped as Chris mentioned he would like the Diamonds hitmaker to flex her vocals for a particular Coldplay song to Fresh 102.7 New York. Other artists who have been linked and have received praise from members of Coldplay are electronic duo, Disclosure and singer, Sam Smith.

The musical direction of LP7

Chris Martin has already hinted towards a colourful affair once more and it will certainly be uplifting. The more personal the song is, the more likely it will end up on A Head Full Of Dreams, according to Coldplay’s lead singer, who has been in a buoyant mood in recent times.

the more personal, the more likely it is to be released

The frontman also stated it “will be fun to shuffle your feet a little bit”, in reference to 'A Head Full Of Dreams'.

Release date

'A Head Full Of Dreams' is rumoured to have a release date between the fourth quarter (Q4) and the first quarter of 2016 (Q1). Coldplay's record company, Parlophone would prefer a Pre-Christmas release, as album sales are significantly higher at the end of the year. This could mean a chart battle with the likes Emeli Sande and Adele, which would certainly challenge Coldplay's record of six British #1 albums in a row. If the British four piece hit #1 in the UK once more, they'll equal The Beatles' record of seven number 1 albums in a row. 'The world's biggest band' certainly have the firepower for this but if 'A Head Full Of Dreams' falls in early 2016, this will be all but guaranteed.

Recording Location

Coldplay are believed to have been recording the majority of the album at their studios in Camden, London. Recently, a pictured was posted on Instagram of Chris Martin, at the Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles. It's suggested that Coldplay are recording in the 'City of Angels' over the summer period. A fan, who met Jonny Buckland outside of The Bakery studios in London was apparently told that the band won't be in London 'for the next 2 months'. This led to rumours of the guys taking a break but we understand they are still recording 'A Head Full Of Dreams' and the Henson Studios is likely to be their recording hub for perhaps, the final phase of recording. Incidentally, studio C is currently unavailable, due to a long term booking.

Jon Hopkins not involved with 'A Head Full Of Dreams'

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Jon Hopkins, the producer and musician, who has been working with Coldplay during their past three studio albums, will not have involvement with the British band's upcoming seventh album, 'A Head Full Of Dreams'.

Coldplay have been seeking help from the likes of Norwegian producers, Stargate and the expert string arranger/composer, Davide Rossi for the record, which is set to make fans "shuffle their feet a bit".

In an interview with factmag, Jon Hopkins tells them that he hasn't been to Coldplay's 'The Bakery' studios in a while and jokes about Chris Martin 'milking' his talents over the years:

I haven’t been to their studio for quite a long time. It’s more catching up as people than working together. Chris says he feels like [laughs] he milked me dry.

Here's the Jon Hopkins remix of 'Midnight', recently uploaded onto Coldplay's official Youtube channel. The original 'Midnight' takes a sample from Jon Hopkins' unreleased 2003 track, 'Amphora'.

Stargate confirmed as producers of 'A Head Full Of Dreams' (October Update)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Article originally published on June 1st 2015.

UPDATE - October 4th 2015: Coldplay's producer, Rik Simpson, who has been working alongside Stargate confirmed the production duo have been heavily involved with producing 'A Head Full Of Dreams'

----------

Norwegian production team, Stargate are confirmed as producers on Coldplay's upcoming seventh album, 'A Head Full Of Dreams'. The news comes after Chris Martin's praise for their "amazing producers" from Norway, via the band's official Facebook/Twitter page. New material could be just around the corner too, with '#aheadfullofdreams' getting another mention from Coldplay's frontman, who has since been hesitant in talking about the new record, since letting the album title slip on BBC Radio 1, in December 2014. The timing of the thanks could also indicate that Coldplay's seventh LP is entering the final stages of production, if not ended its production phase. Coupled with persistent and perhaps, hopeful rumours of new Coldplay material this week, we may see something new from Coldplay sooner than we expect!

It's worth noting that the production duo, Stargate also produced Coldplay's most recent single release, 'Miracles'. The duo from Stargate, Mikkel Storleer Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen featured as additional musicians on the track, playing the keyboard.

Another significant hint for the musical direction of 'A Head Full Of Dreams' is the nature of the artists who Stargate have worked with. In their case, they've been on a strict diet of pop, with no guitars in sight, from the boy/girl band's of Blue and Atomic Kitten on the early end of the 00's to Rihanna and Katy Perry in more recent times. It will certainly be a different case with Coldplay and guitarist, Jonny Buckland, with the band having preached their intentions to break 'barriers' within the music industry.

Going back to Chris Martin's post, he heaps praise on one of his favourite ever band's, A-ha. Their vintage song, 'Hunting High and Low' could be a glimpse of what to expect for Coldplay's new material and funnily enough, the band / Chris have covered the song live in concert, as shown below:
