Catch Coldplay By Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Chris Martin wears a broad smile as he bounds into the private dining room of a tony beachfront hotel. The glassed alcove, off-limits to the paparazzi that tend to shadow him since he wed actress Gwyneth Paltrow in 2003, offers generous views of the sand and surf below. Four rockers, third album: Will Champion, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Chris Martin. The blue-eyed, 6-foot-2 singer marvels at the posh and spacious digs, perhaps forgetting his stature in the music ranks these days. Martin is the affable, self-effacing frontman for British band Coldplay, the logical lads-in-waiting for U2's broad and global audience. (Related audio: Hear a clip from X&Y) On the rise since 2000 debut Parachutes, which sold 2.3 million copies largely on the strength of hits Yellow and Trouble, Coldplay broke big with 2002's A Rush of Blood to the Head. It yielded hit single Clocks and sold 3.7 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Third album X&Y, due Tuesday, is expected to push Coldplay to stratospheric heights. "It's like waiting for exam results," Martin, 28, says of his anticipation. It's not the chart placement he's sweating. "Record sales don't really mean anything. For us, the pressure is imagining some 15-year-old kid in Cincinnati who buys our album and doesn't feel like he wasted his pocket money." That kid held up the album's release. Last summer, Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, drummer Will Champion and bassist Guy Berryman had finished X&Y when they decided to go back to point A. The 15 songs they had completed were deemed lacking, and the band retreated to a cramped rehearsal room for an overhaul, the same drill they applied to A Rush. "We always think, 'We'll just hand in the album, they'll say it's brilliant and we'll all be happy.' Then the time comes to play the songs to close friends and people we trust at the label," Martin says. "We hear it in a whole new light and we want to pull it back. We did the opposite of polishing it up. We sent our crew and technicians and producers away and went back to being the four of us with no awards on display. We didn't turn up in chauffeur-driven cars. We had to strip away all the things that were propping us up and find out if the noise the four of us made in the room was exciting." New songs were penned and existing ones sharpened or discarded. "We keep the organic ones and throw away the genetically engineered ones, even though some of them taste great," Martin says. Gorgeous, aching, neurotic and luminous, the ballad-driven X&Y resembles earlier Coldplay, though a stronger pulse courses through its beguiling melodies, and tougher guitar textures counterbalance Martin's emotional falsetto and fragile piano lines. Faster than 'Speed of Sound' Early signs suggest a hungry audience. First single Speed of Sound bowed at No. 8 in the Billboard Hot 100, the first top 10 entry for a British band since The Beatles. It's already boiling at triple-A and adult contemporary formats and building at Top 40. "I think their prospects this time out are really good," says Sean Ross of Edison Media Research. "They've become a core artist for alternative, as well as one of those bands that bridges the two halves of the rock constituency. Just as there are people who don't like hard rock but still like System of a Down, there are hard rockers who like Coldplay. In both cases, it's because they're a thinking person's rock band." While A Rush drew ovations (New Musical Express called it "an album of outstanding natural beauty") and similar praise is expected this time, Coldplay's thoughtful tone may also be a handicap. "I'm surprised by their success, because it's pretty plodding music," says Jim Farber, pop music critic at the New York Daily News. "To position them as a U2-level epic rock band is slightly out of whack with the music. It's not animated enough to fill arenas. "They don't have the sonic heft of a major band," he says, noting that Coldplay has spawned a new wave of British weenie-rock bands, including Travis, Doves, Keane and Starsailor. "It seems like a little folk group that got out of control." In his assessment of X&Y, Martin seesaws between self-doubt and self-assurance, a metronomic sway also felt in his musings on life's wonders, worries and unanswered mysteries. The title was inspired in part by the modern tendency to bounce between polar extremes. "Everything is either incredible or terrible," says Martin, whose lyrics can glide from blissfully romantic to anxious and paranoid in a single couplet. "Everyone asks me about being so worried or thinking about existence as if I'm the only person who can't understand why a tree grows the way it does or why a person is in power when they're not that great. These are questions everyone has." He is at a loss to describe a songwriting process he likens to fishing. "When a great song arrives, it's really nothing to do with you," he says. "I sit for hours waiting for fish. When I catch one that I feel is great, I never feel we can take credit for it, because I don't know where it's come from, and I couldn't have designed it on a piece of paper. Coldplay across the USA Coinciding with Tuesday's release of third album X&Y, Coldplay is popping up on stage in cyberspace, on TV, on radio and at venues across the country. The Twisted Logic Tour, Coldplay's biggest outing to date, launches Aug. 2 in Toronto. Most tickets, priced at $30-$69, go on sale Saturday. The band performs on Coldplay Interactive for Sirius satellite radio's Alt Nation station, premiering at 7 p.m. Tuesday, repeating at noon Wednesday, 5 p.m. Thursday and 11 a.m. June 10. All times ET. Coldplay Live Leak will air at 8 p.m. ET/PT Sunday on MTV, preceded by an interview special at 7:30. The band will present its new album in a live performance at the channel's Times Square studios in New York. Leak will be streamed for listening at MTV.com beginning Wednesday. Online series AOL Music Live! will make a Coldplay concert, taped last month in New York, available free starting Tuesday at http://www.aolmusic.com. VH1 Storytellers: Coldplay premieres Wednesday at 10 p.m. The Brooklyn performance, augmented by an interview and Q&A with audience members, highlights songs from X&Y plus previous hits Clocks, Yellow and Politik. "My father-in-law (producer/director Bruce Paltrow) bought this big keyboard just before he died. No one had ever plugged it in. I plugged it in, and there was this incredible sound I'd never heard before. All these songs poured out from this one sound. Something has to inspire you, and something else takes over. It's very cloudy." One of those tunes was What If, widely presumed to be about his wife, but Martin turns vague when pressed to decipher specific lyrics. "It's very strange trying to explain yourself. It's flattering that people are interested, because they weren't interested in the first album or even so much the second, at least not this much in advance." A verse to tabloids Of course, Martin wasn't a tabloid magnet then. His marriage to Paltrow in late 2003 drew media scrutiny, which intensified with the birth of their daughter, Apple, now 1. The personal prying, plus a rise of negative press against the band, tempted Martin to shroud his lyrics, but Buckland dissuaded him. "I said maybe we should start writing about characters and concepts and newspaper stories," Martin says. "It was a time when I was feeling that everyone was hating everything we did. The feedback you see first is often the bad stuff. You don't see the couple that just likes your songs. Jonny said, 'I don't think you should edit what you're singing just because people analyze it.' So I sing whatever I feel and live with the consequences. I know a lot of John Lennon songs are about Yoko Ono, but I couldn't care less. Does it move me as a song? Yes." Martin is relieved that fewer photographers are popping out of bushes and that magazines seem less intent on tracking the couple. "A lot of that attention has really died down," he says. "We don't do anything together in public at all. Occasionally you get some guy coming to take a picture of Gwyneth to see what she's wearing, and that's that. We made a conscious decision to keep that side of things private and to just behave as people and not as a celebrity couple." It's apparent that one of rock's most sensitive songwriters is still tormented by press attacks. "When anybody is big, you have to expect a certain level of hatred, right?" he says. "Celebrity culture has gone crazy, and I think the reason is that real news is just not bearable, and it also seems impossible to change anything. What's the point of slagging off Dick Cheney when it doesn't do anything? It's easier to slag off Coldplay. All we've done is make records. The vitriol thrown at Britney Spears — what's she done? She's never hurt anyone. But it's easier to go after her than Donald Rumsfeld." A fair trade-off Martin sports a green equal sign on the back of his left hand, inked on daily as a reminder to talk about fair trade, Coldplay's pet cause. "That's one thing that makes me totally driven to do interviews," he says. "Interviews can get a little solipsistic, which is a new word I learned, by the way. Maybe 3% of people reading will take a look at maketradefair.com or they'll see they can buy Fair Trade coffee in Starbucks. As cynical as you can be about it, it gives me comfort to do all this talking." Is it just his moral compass or - "A way of appeasing the guilt of success?" he says. "Yes and no. If I worked in a bakery and someone said, 'Do you realize farmers in Ghana are going under because all this cheap subsidized rice is dumped on them by America?' I'd say, 'That's terrible.' I couldn't talk about it in the newspaper. I don't feel like we can necessarily change anything, but I feel like it's better to mention that than to advertise sneakers or a car. It's our way of joining the commercial world without having to push some product we couldn't care less about. "There comes a point where it doesn't matter how many zeroes are at the end of your bank account. I can eat as much chocolate as I want in any country in the world, and so I feel incredibly privileged." Daughter Apple is another reason Martin's political activism is spiking. Fatherhood "has made me more excited about everything and more driven about the darker side of everything and to keep talking about it," he says. "I have the same feeling about Apple that I have about Coldplay. I can't believe that I got picked. I can't believe that I'm allowed to be a dad. In that sense, it just filled me with even more wonder and incredulous gratitude. "It makes me see everything in more color. Things I thought were brilliant before, I think are trebly brilliant. And things I was worried about before seem trebly more concerning. I'm sure it's all the clichés every dad says. It just makes life more intense. We've only got a finite period here, so we may as well pack it with as much feeling as possible." 'Fulfilling the opportunity' Likewise for his music. The band has collected four Grammys, seduced radio and MTV and, according to its label, sold 20 million records worldwide. "We haven't," Martin corrects. "I wish we had. It's a figure that's been exaggerated." Well, the 6.7 million copies sold in the USA since 2000 is massive enough. "After that, you don't want to compromise at all. All that's left is artistic hunger. All I care about right now is doing something as valid as Sgt. Pepper or OK Computer or The Joshua Tree, basically validating and fulfilling the opportunity we've been given." Martin's commitment to Coldplay remains unshakeable. In a 2003 interview with USA TODAY, before marriage and fatherhood, he expressed doubts about his romantic future and declared his past relationships "unmitigated disasters." He said then, "I know that I've chosen my band ahead of anything or anyone else. I'm obsessed." He stands by the statement, but says the band does not torpedo other passions. "When you're making an album, it's hard for anybody around you," he says. "We definitely made a commitment around December where we became obsessed to the detriment of all our relationships. But there's room for everything. I wouldn't have my daughter Apple, my lifestyle or anything if not for Coldplay. I wouldn't be married. I wouldn't have any money. I wouldn't be able to travel. It's at the center of everything. So it would be foolish to move it anywhere else. I just watch less TV now."

4:18pm (UK) It's A Record for Coldplay By Sherna Noah, PA Showbusiness Correspondent Coldplay’s new release X&Y has become the most pre-ordered album in history on the Amazon website. The album has been at the top of its 100 Albums Chart since March 15, when it became available for pre-order. Today it took the record previously held by Dido’s Life for Rent and became Amazon.co.uk’s most pre-ordered album. Amazon would not release sales figures for Coldplay’s third album, which hits the shops on Monday. But it said pre-orders of X&Y had surpassed those of Life for Rent, which was released two years ago, by more than 10%. Amazon.co.uk music editor Helen Marquis said: “The fact that the pre-order sales of Coldplay’s X&Y have surpassed those of Dido’s Life for Rent, a feat that no other band has been able to accomplish for nearly two years, shows just how excited fans are to get their hands on the group’s new album. “It’s clearly important to Coldplay’s fan base that they are the first to hear the new album, which just goes to show that the band’s following is one of the most loyal in music today.”

CHRIS :" Shareholders are the great evil of this modern world"

New Coldplay album leaked to net Coldplay's album is out on 6 June in the UK and 7 June in the US Coldplay's hotly-anticipated new album has been illegally put on the internet a week before its UK and US release. But record company EMI - whose profits fell after X&Y was delayed - said it was "kind of OK" with the leak and insisted it would not wreck sales. The leak took place on Monday, the day copies were sent to UK radio stations and the day before it went on sale in Japan, its first country of release. "I'm not saying we condone it but I'm not saying it's a disaster," EMI said. An EMI spokeswoman said tight security had successfully kept the album under wraps until CDs were sent to a wide number of people on Monday. The fact that we've held it back from being leaked until this point is a success, considering the Oasis album was leaked weeks ago EMI spokeswoman It was "controlled up until the point that we couldn't control it any more", she said, describing it as "barely a leak". "We're kind of OK with it," she said. "Obviously we're not - but it could be a lot worse. "The fact that we've held it back from being leaked until this point is a success, considering the Oasis album was leaked weeks ago." The music industry has battled internet "pirates" in recent years, arguing that fans are less likely to buy the CD if they have already downloaded the album for free. Coldplay's importance to EMI was highlighted when profits fell 13% after X&Y and an album by Gorillaz were delayed. 'Unavoidable' But EMI said the leak would have been "more of a concern" if the album had been pirated earlier. "Obviously any leak is bad and we're not happy about the fact that it's already on the net," the spokeswoman said. "But to be honest, in the world we're living today, it's kind of unavoidable at certain times." Locked iPods Security measures included hosting album playbacks at venues such as Abbey Road Studios for journalists and industry figures instead of sending them copies. A listening room in EMI's headquarters was equipped with iPods in locked cabinets and CDs that were sent out were labelled with a false name - The Fir Trees - to throw would-be pirates off the scent. Coldplay themselves have not shown the highest regard for EMI's commercial fortunes. "Shareholders are the great evil of this modern world," singer Chris Martin said recently. "I don't really care about EMI. I'm not really concerned about that."

In a dark vault in London a little treasure is being kept safe. In it lays 500 hours of film with Coldplay. According to singer Chris Martin, the band has had a film camera around since they started to work on their new album. Eventually they will make the tapes into a five-minute DVD. :stunned: mtve.com

NEW from NME.COM COLDPLAY ALBUM LEAKS COLDPLAY’s new album ’X&Y’ has leaked ahead of its June 6 release. The band’s latest LP appeared on file-sharing sites yesterday (May 30), meaning that it is now freely available to download from the internet. A band insider told NME.COM: “It’s a miracle it hasn’t leaked before now to be honest. It’s released in Japan before Europe and they’ve played the album on their official website coldplay.com. Most major albums leak a long time before release, this is just a few days.” The band’s record label have been secretive about sending the album out prior to release. Promo copies of the album were sent to journalists under the pseudonym The Fir Trees.

Coldplay singer Chris Martin joined legend Stevie Wonder at a charity concert in New York. The two sang "Superstitious" together and the money raised was donated to a project called Robin Hood that works with poverty in New York. mtve.com
