Since there’s no album announcement right now, I wonder if they’ll do something similar to Gorillaz Song Machine last year. They released a single every month and at the end of the year dropped them together as an album.

Jon Hopkins did a Q&A on Reddit recently and said “I’m lucky enough to still work with them” when responding to question about his collaborations with Coldplay. Looks like he could be a part of LP9!

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/13963449/coldplay-new-album-two-years-after-everyday-life/ They might be back!! It’s The Sun which doesn’t have the greatest reputation, but it’s the first mainstream source to report on this!

👀 Chris in Burna Boy's new video for Monsters You Made. Some spaceship references whenever he appears!

Something interesting (or maybe I'm reaching again😂)... Rik Simpson, one of Coldplay's producers posted this synth arrangement on Instagram: Angel Lopez, a producer on Everyday Life and for Los Unidades, also commented "👽👽👽 ". Could this be a subtle nod to MOTS?

I think the Race is definitely getting released soon. The leak is getting aggressively taken down everywhere, from Youtube to Twitter. Other Coldplay demos or leaks (i.e.: Vitamins etc.) aren't getting taken down like this. To put this into perspective, during the buildup to Avicii's posthumous album, a version of Heaven (featuring Chris!) got leaked. This version was different than the one that ended up being released on the final album, but nevertheless, it got taken down pretty aggressively all over the internet. Before this leak, another version of Heaven was circling around the inter

I'm not sure if you guys have been following, but some random Twitter account (@9erehps) has been tweeting about Music of the Spheres since December 2019. The account tweets in some very cryptic language too. There is a very high chance this is also fake, but the account has recently been tweeting about July 7th being an announcement date. Today, it posted a link to this video:

https://www.lyrics.com/sublyric/79761/Coldplay/The+Race Apparently The Race's lyrics have been posted on this website. I have no idea how legitimate this is (it may be completely fake) but things seem to be picking up!!

Something else I've noticed... When you go to any website, on Chrome, there is usually an icon next to the tab it corresponds to. For example, if you go to Gmail, the tab looks like the following (with the Gmail logo): When you go to Coldplay's website, it now has a new logo of a moon, as shown below. During the EL era, there was a logo of a golden sun from the album cover.

ANOTHER interesting theory about FFTF2024, from @jordanatorNZ on twitter: FFTF2024 = July 10th, 2020 (A Friday!) Although... I think whatever date 2024 may have been pointing to may not be relevant anymore due to COVID-19. I do think this is a great theory anyways.

I've been posting in this thread a lot lately 😂😂 In Jacob Collier's livestream a couple weeks ago, Chris made an appearance! Chris talked talked about how Collier contributed to Everyday Life and now "We have become your students ever since." (at about 23:10) There's been a rumour about how Collier may be heavily involved in LP9. The Music of the Spheres teaser poster looks a lot like "Musical Geometry" pictures. Collier is known for being a genius in music theory so perhaps he'll be their "Eno" for this album.

24!!!

The new version of UATW that Chris is referring to (Silver Bird) has technically already been released. It's on Amazon Music as Us Against The World (Live in Leipzig) and was released as one of the "singles" for the Butterfly Package. So, I doubt it'll be a part of LP9. Even with him mentioning U.F.O. and Rescue St., I feel like the band comes back to earlier "demos" often, keeps certain parts, but changes most of it. For example, Violet Hill ("was a long and dark December") and Arabesque (Jonny's riff) were based off of earlier "demos", but the end product sounds much more attuned to the era

Something I just noticed, I think Jonny has had a new song added to his ASCAP repertory. It's now at 235 songs, when it used to be 234 last week. I'm not sure what was added though. Does anyone have a list of the old songs?

If the theories are right, something might be happening tomorrow! FFTF2024 = 2020, 2nd of April?
