I want to see those tweets comparing the new song to VLV. No leak on the name of the song, yet?

In other news, guess who is also in India at the moment...

It appears that at least Rik's mixing on the album was finished on August 14 as per his post in his personal blog.

I think I see Jonny and Guy. But I don't see Will and Chris.

This!

Well, well. MX part 2 as we had anticipated...

Apparently the video is being filmed at a location called Worli Fort in Mumbai. The Worli Fort is a fort built by the British in Worli, Mumbai, India. The fort, often mistakenly referred to as being built by the Portuguese, was actually built by the British around 1675. The fort, built on the Worli hill, overlooked the Mahim Bay at a time the city was made up of just seven islands. It was used as a lookout for enemy ships and pirates.

Sometimes I do not understand the boys. All that silence (and secretness) during the recording process and then suddenly they are taking pictures with fans while (very probably) filming a music video.

Holy shit, it's happening! They are already filming a music video! :)

Don't laugh that, knowing Chris, this is indeed very possible...

If they are planning to play something new, it is very possible then that they will release at least one song (first single) before the actual set at the iHeartRadio Festival.

Don't get your hopes up guys. It is very possible that they will play short sets at the iHeartRadio AND Global Citizen Festivals with no new music.

Interesting discussion which leads me to think that maybe the record label will push back or push forward the release date of the album to avoid competition with Adele.

The smiley face will very very probably feature in the LP7 era. Hopefully not in the album cover, in my opinion...

Unbearable silence from the Coldplay headquarters. I guess it was true that they were taking two months off. No rush to finish AHFOD?

In a less contentious note, I really do not understand why there is so much mystery from the band. I miss the days when we got Prospekt's posts during the recording process and even little videos with hints from the band themselves. They need to build up the hype!

Oh, and by the way, I am pretty certain that the album is going to be very poppy. I would prefer rock, but let's hold our horses and listen before judging.

Don't get over excited, guys... Davide said about to be released, which could also mean in the next 6 months... The fact is that apparently his job on the album is done, so it is certain that the album is in a very advanced stage. It could be August, but it could also be in 6 months. Notice he also mentioned other artists. For instance, the Duran Duran new album will be released on September 11, 2015. However, there is no release date yet for the albums of Zucchero, Neil Diamond, Jake Bugg and Flight Facilities.

Let's talk about good news... (A-B-O-U-T T-O B-E R-E-L-E-A-S-E-D)

I am pretty sure she is referring to her sampling in Another's Arms.

1. VLV 2. AROBTTH 3. MX 4. P 5. XY 6. GS

According to a girl who met Jonny today (July 16) at the Beehive, they are taking a break for 2 months.

A girl went to the Bakery/Beehive today. She got to meet Jonny, who apparently was carrying an Ukulele. Thus, such instrument might feature in AHFOD. Also, she was told that the whole band would be back to the studio in 2 months. I guess they are taking a break. Regrettably this makes very unlikely that AHFOD will be released this year, in my opinion.

At least Chris recorded the Global Citizen video in a studio, which could mean that he is indeed working on AHFOD.

"A couple of songs"...
