I ran away

Don't you wish that life would be as simple

All three of the "beatclub" shared that snippet, so I do expect them to be heavily involved in the album. I bet it's not just for one track.

But the point imho is that Coldplay chooses producers that will help them get the sound they are looking for. If you choose Timbaland and Co. as your producers, that is a statement about the sound you are aiming at.

Oh OK. Timbaland did drums on True Love, didn't he ? Oh dear, not a fan

That sound is actually really great and fitting in O. Still, I fear it may be different if he is the producer.

Before you run, ooh didn't we have fun

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Apparently those other producers besides Timbaland are the producers of E-Lo.... :tired_face:

Damn, after all this waiting I missed the time when the actual teaser dropped :joy: I think it sounds great but does not tell us a lot about the actual sound of the album, though (just as the AOAL teaser couldn't for AHFOD). I could imagine it being the album's intro. By the way I listened to the start of the Charlie Chaplin piece and imho only the first half of the notes sound like it. I'm not sure it's a sample, maybe just inspired by it.

You are

Well if you do let me know because on that day I'm officially gonna change my name into :P

Is there any possibility you were the specific person chosen because your name is *Jordan* ?

I don't know if anyone else feels that way, but I am still in detective mode and would like for us to uncover one more thing about the new album this week, seeing that there is little hope the weekend will give us something :D If only I knew where to look...

Simpson, Rik (yes, I am very original I know ;))

This time I know it's GONE

Well, I guess we have figured out by now that it is in some way 'delayed' - international or not. Also...when has a Coldplay release ever NOT been delayed ? Seriously ! But if it means better music...then I'm all for it.

A little sun shows up for me

Throwback to another Chris and Guy in-studio acoustic performance that was used as a teaser:

So you think Trouble in Town could be the album name ? That's intriguing, I've ever only heard it being referred to as another song. I wonder if those titles are actual track titles or placeholder titles. Orphans and Daddy sound very political but also very blatant to me if they end up being real titles (war, conflict, refugees, children...)

Coldplay releases are often a mess though. I better not remind you all of the Kaleidoscope EP mess - iirc first release date June 2, is sneakily changed on all social media to June 30 without any statement, June 30 passes, no release no statement, July 14 as new release date, but physical copies delayed to August 4, finally on August 4 the physical release happens - aaaand there is an awkward typo in the booklet.
