Yeah, I'm really surprise they haven't rolled out Good Feelings as a single, I think with a great animated video that one could of been a big hit for them. I personally feel GF should of been the second single instead of We Pray.

This would make sense, there's a New Moon on 5th July in the UK.

My guess with future albums is after Moon Music promotion era (thinking the rumoured September release is likely) they might extend the tour to the beginning of 2025. I'm mainly thinking this because they didn't really extensively tour the US with MOTS (think they've only played 13 shows in the US in total throughout the whole tour), so there might be a US leg added in early 2025. then maybe another film / documentary of the whole tour released at the end of 2025. I'd imagine the musical will be out closer to 2026 (might even be the second half) and as for the acoustic self titled album, late 2027 at the earliest but could easily be 2028.

Oooh nice, don't think I've ever heard these! I was always obsessed with 'If She Comes Back' and 'A View From The Top' but ISCB is very Rush Of Blood and AVFTT is very X&Y and they've moved on a lot since, sound wise.

Ah that's ashame, came back on here just to check if there was a surprise release happening this Friday or not haha. Has there been any updates on the actual May album release, I keep reading on this thread people saying September but I've not been able to find an actual source in any interviews etc?

Ooooh you might be right haha. It did look a lot like 'soup' but 'song' makes more sense ha! However we do have the "two little figures in a soup bowl' line in Prospekts March from the same era, so we know Chris Martin's a soup fan.😆

If the lates Coldplay Xtra interview with Chris and Johnny (August 2022) is anything to go by the next 3 albums will be : Music Of The Spheres (Vol. II) - released during the current Music Of The Spheres world tour (most likely in April / May 2023) as there is a 6 month gap between 8th November 2022 and 17th May 2023 with the tour (which might be there for a reason). Probably to finish off MOS 2 and release it, incorporating the new songs into the 2023 tour. As Chris said in the interview they "already know" how some new songs are going to fit into their tours and he described the MOS album as "part 1 to something big". Chris also said during the interview that they'll be touring for quite a long time with this album as they're having so much fun. I've also noticed they've only toured North America once with MOS and haven't announced any Asian or Australia / New Zealand dates yet which I'd assume they might visit in the second half of 2023. My guess is an Asian tour, Australia / New Zealand and (potentially another) North American tour still to be announced. The next release (after MOS 2), as Chris stated and which we know is the film / musical. To which Chris said films can take a lot longer than initially planned which is why this musical album may be LP11 or LP12. Depending on when the film is finished. LP12 (or LP11 if the film isn't finished in time) will just be called 'Coldplay'. After which I can only assume there will be some kind of Best Of / Greatest Hits which I'd imagine they'd also do a world tour with. Although I think 'Coldplay' would of been the perfect title for their Greatest Hits.

Hey guys, not sure if anyone's mentioned this previously (I did search but couldn't find any threads on this) but there's a few unreleased song titles that appear in the AHFOD film that I haven't really seen mentioned much (from the Viva era) :'Tims Soup' 'Junk''Trick Of Light' & 'Series Of Moments'. Trick Of Light might be an early version of Lovers In Japan as it appears alongside it on the list. However they were putting two songs on one track (like YES / Chinese Sleep Chant etc) in the Viva era so it could be an entirely different song. The full list that appears in the film (at 1:02:31) is : 'Tims Soup' 'Charm Of St.Stephen' 'Trick Of Light' / 'L. In Japan' 'Loveless with whistling riff' 'Series Of Moments' 'Bloodless Revolution Structure' 'Fall Of Man (Vox / Riff)' 'Junk' with missing beat' 'Dm Sad Piece It appears while Chris is playing a live version of Prospekt's March.

Not at all, if I got quoted on the site that would make this day EVEN better:heart_eyes::sun:

Ah my bad! Hahaha

Really think this album is going to be Coldplay's Magnum Opus :sun: :sun: :sun:

Getting 2 songs today! :)

Ok, holly balls - just had the pleasure of hearing 'Orphans' and 'Arabesque' :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: Without trying to spoil the fun for everyone, I genuinely haven't been this excited for a Coldplay album since Viva. They really have reinvented themselves. My sort of review of how the songs sound : 'Orphans' is definitely the more 'pop' of the two - reminds me of so many things, it has the funky bass of AOAL but is almost stadium rock sounding. Some fo it reminds me slightly of U2 with the chorus reminding me a bit of Foals. Coldplay have completely done it in their own way though - very catchy song, once of the best Coldplay songs I've heard in years actually. 'Arabesque' is definitely the 'experimental' track - clocking at about 5 and a half minutes, the only thing I can compare this to is 'Tusk' by Fleetwood Mac, has a bit of a re-accuring brass section then jazz trumpet in the middle of the track with a ball-sy ending that king of reminds me of DLIBYH (but Arabaesque' is a lot slower, more of a groove. So excited for this era, a completely new sound for the band:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Have you heard any of the new songs? :)

Also Timbaland's done a lot of great work on the albums he's worked on. 'Until The End Of Time' & 'Suit & Tie' by Justin Timberlake are still masterpieces to me. Not to mention the whole 'Loose' album by Nelly Furtado which Chris wrote 'All Good Thing (Come To An End)' for :sun:

I agree, Coldplay always come back with things I like. I remember back when Viva came out and people complaining about the sound change saying it "didn't sound like Coldplay" but people on here years later are now hoping for Viva part 2. I'm always excited to hear what they do next, whether their working with Rik Simpson, Brian Eno, Stargate or Timbaland they're such a talented band and I'm glad they continue to evolve other wise we'd of spent the last 17 years listening to them remaking AROBTTH.

I'm pretty sure E-Lo was just produced by Pharrell? That's what it says on Spotify :)

I think I'm the only person on here who loved E-Lo :joy: I still listen to that song all the time haha:p

According to wikipedia it was Johnny - he studied astronomy and mathematics!

This would make a lot more sense haha. Didn't Johnny also study astronomy at university? :)

I'm guessing the album might be a merge of all these sounds - jazz, old swing, bee-bop, big band, classical, middle eastern influences, country, as well as some honkytonk piano / western sounds with banjos and fiddles for Trouble In Town :sun:

1919 is the album title, says on the poster - it's right in front of us!!:p I think 'Trouble In Town' is the first single with second single being either 'Orphans', 'Daddy' or 'Everyday Life'.:sun:

What is the awkward typo just out of interest? :P I don't have physical copy of Kaleidoscope EP!

Personally I think out of the 12 new videos only 2 will be music videos (for the first 2 singles) (due out before the album drops). The others might be teasers, remixes, acoustic / alternative versions of the singles maybe?

I'm the same - I used to have an account on here years ago (2004 / 2005) and remember the Speed Of Sound chorus leaking, how exciting that was. For some reason I specifically remember it was a Friday but I stayed up half the night replying that 20 / 30 second clip over and over again in complete disbelief I was actually hearing a snippet from Coldplay's 3rd album which I'd waited so long for. To me that chorus sounded so different from anything they'd ever done, I can still remember how excited I was about it. Can't believe they're onto album 8 now :joy: :joy:
