2008 starts with glossy Coldplay...
The Q Magazine article featuring Coldplay hit the shelves in early January and contained some more information on the new album that we didn't already know at the start of the year. The new release date was rumoured to be May/June 2008.
Stars continued to fall on Coldplay.com - particularly in the 2008 section where Coldplay turned 10 years old! Prospekt sneaked in a January entry, saying: Back home for a few days. A brief rest before the final push. Another four or five weeks and we should be home and dry: another ten mixes + re-recording one of the songs from scratch. In times gone by I would have set aside a month to re-record a track. However, the week before Christmas, we recorded two tracks in four days - Lovers In Japan and Strawberry Swing. On the fifth day (Friday), Chris put down new lyrics (and new melodies) on two other tracks. It was far and away the most productive and exciting week we've ever had in the studio. I was buzzing all through Christmas. Since then, mixing has been slow and painstaking but that's just the nature of the beast. So... give us another month or so and we might just have an album worthy of your patience.
Chris Martin is seen chasing down a photographer trying to get shots of his wife Gwyneth Paltrow as she left a New York hospital, and The Daily Star apologised for printing “a misleading story” that indicated that Coldplay would be leaving EMI, after they had delivered their fourth studio album.
