Why Chris Martin moved to Los Angeles to make Coldplay's 'big and colorful' new album [LA Times article] Chris Martin has lived in Los Angeles long enough to speak enthusiastically about his spiritual teachers and about the benefits of cutting sugar and dairy from his diet. But the Coldplay frontman hasn't been here long enough to know that the guys handing out DVDs on the Venice boardwalk want you to pay for them. "Thanks, brother," Martin said as just such a man pressed a compilation of basketball clips into his hands on a recent morning. Dressed in a bright-blue hoodie and matching baseball cap, the British singer kept moving but came to a sudden halt when the guy touched Martin's arm and explained that he wasn't giving away his product for free. "Oh, you want a donation," Martin said, quickly grasping the situation. "All right, man!" And with that he cheerfully forked over 20 bucks and asked for two. A simple case of a rock star using money to smooth his path through life? Well, sure. Yet the gesture — one of several donations over the course of a lengthy stroll that eventually required a visit to a beachside ATM — also seemed in keeping with the proudly magnanimous vibe of Coldplay's new album, "A Head Full of Dreams." Due Dec. 4, it marks a return to the kind of earnest emotional uplift that made Coldplay famous but that the band largely abandoned for its last studio album, "Ghost Stories." That record, full of hushed, small-scale tunes, documented what the 38-year-old Martin described as the "traumatic" breakup of his marriage to actressGwyneth Paltrow, with whom he has two children. Coldplay didn't do much to promote the album, avoiding interviews and playing only a handful of concerts (including one at UCLA's relatively intimate Royce Hall). "A bit of a retreat into the turtle shell," the singer called it. Eighteen months later, though, Martin and his bandmates — guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion — have emerged to talk up an imaginative disc that reflects the frontman's renewed optimism as well as Coldplay's determination to stay musically relevant at a moment when traditional guitar bands are more or less out of style. "Isn't it amazing, the color and craziness down here?" Martin said with a grin as he dropped a few bills into a bucket atop a street performer's grand piano. "You've always got to reward a busker. I'm a busker too, and people reward me." They certainly have. After forming at college in London and scoring a global smash with "Yellow," the strummy power ballad from its 2000 debut, Coldplay spent the next decade racking up hits (including the Grammy-winning "Clocks" and "Viva la Vida," which topped Billboard's Hot 100) and becoming one of the world's biggest touring acts. In between, there were Martin's profile-raising collaborations with Jay Z and Kanye West, along with a duet with Rihanna on Coldplay's 2011 album, "Mylo Xyloto." <aside class="trb_embed " data-content-id="85155814" data-content-size="large" data-content-type="image" data-content-slug="la-ca-ms-coldplay-chirs-martin-20151129-001" data-content-subtype="photo" data-role="socialshare_item imgsize_ratiosizecontainer lightbox_container " data-state=" " data-embed-id="85155814" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; width: 720px; overflow: hidden;"><figure data-role="imgsize_item" class="trb_embed_imageContainer_figure" imgheight="450" imgwidth="750" imgratio="16x9" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 405px; position: relative; width: 721.438px; height: 0px; overflow: hidden; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></figure>Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times Yet by 2013, the singer found himself looking for "a soft place to land" as his relationship with Paltrow came undone, he said. L.A. was the obviouschoice, because his son and daughter were here, and "wherever they live is my home." What began as a practical arrangement, though, soon turned into a creative boon, with Martin feeling reinvigorated by Southern California's climate and landscape. </aside> "If you go back to a Jane Austen novel, they're always sending people to get sea air when they're going through something," he said with a laugh. "It's restorative." Moving to L.A. also put Martin closer to the busy pop-music industry, with its songwriters and producers responsible for creating the hits that rule Top 40 radio. That world has long fascinated him, he said, so last year, he tried writing a few tracks for Rihanna, whose manager connected Martin with Stargate, one of the singer's go-to production teams. They got on well enough that Martin asked the rest of Coldplay to work with Stargate for "Miracles," the band's song from Angelina Jolie's 2014 movie "Unbroken." And that in turn led to Stargate's co-producing "A Head Full of Dreams," which Martin said he knew from the beginning would represent a dramatic shift from "Ghost Stories." The goal, he added, was "something big and colorful and fun," an album that's "not rock and not pop. It's just whatever we dream it up to be." That dreamed-up sound has Stargate's fingerprints all over it, from the layered keyboards in the title track to the pulsing disco groove that drives "Adventure of a Lifetime," which Coldplay debuted on last weekend's American Music Awards. The plaintive "Army of One" even sports a sleek R&B coda that could pass for a Chris Brown demo. But if the band resisted that kind of outside influence in its early days, as Champion has admitted, it has now happily opened itself to collaborators. "When you've been a band for nearly 20 years, finding fresh inspiration isn't always that easy," Coldplay's drummer said as he sat in a dressing room with Buckland and Berryman after taping a performance on James Corden's late-night show. "So when someone new comes in, you grab the chance." Indeed, beyond Stargate, "A Head Full of Dreams" features appearances by an expansive cast of guests, including Beyoncé and Swedish pop singer Tove Lo, who duets with Martin on "Fun." Lisa Worden, music director at L.A.'s influential radio station KROQ-FM (106.7), said cameos like those — as well as the decision to release "Adventure of a Lifetime" as the album's lead single — were smart moves after the more cerebral "Ghost Stories." <aside class="trb_embed " data-content-id="85155804" data-content-size="large" data-content-type="pullquote" data-content-slug="la-i-don-t-expect-people-to-understand-where-songs-come-from-because-i-don-t-understand-either-20151125" data-content-subtype="pullquote" data-role="socialshare_item " data-state=" " style="margin: 10px 40px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; width: 720px; overflow: visible; clear: both; text-align: center; float: left; font-family: Belizio, Georgia, serif; font-weight: 700;"> Article Link </aside>

I'm always scared seeing gorillas / monkeys / orangutans and the video is surprisingly winning to scare me :laugh3:

Great interview so far, I love it at the towards end when Chris made his own voice like a grandpa :laugh3:

It is a nice song but I didnt hear Gwyneth singing the song (Is she doing the backing vocals?) I havent listened to the whole interview yet so not sure if the song was played live or not.

Everglow is the song feat. Gwyneth right?

Yeayyyyy! My fav band will be appearing on my fav show. I watch Ellen every single day on Youtube and this is so exciting!!!!!

So curious with the Kaleidoscope but I should sleep now. So far I'm liking Everglow

What about Everglow?

So far Everglow sounds great! :D

They played Everything's Not Lost during Royal Albert show of last year I think and they havent played that song for quite a long time!

Yeah that song never dies though. I'm so curious to hear the snippet of Kaleidoscope. So far this Hype snippet disappoints me. But I really understand how Coldplay have changed a lot since Viva era.

Could be James Bond's bestie?

And here comes Hype for the Monday thru Friday *I'm yawning at work*

Calm down :laugh3: We havent heard the 'Fun' yet. Who knows they are inspired by 'Fun' group. Tonightttttt, we are youuung

The title should be Hype For The Weekend

Coldplay are ready to dance in da house y'all. Get ready.

I'm gonna be waiting for the whole recording soon. :D

Seriously though, I'm laughing right nao :lol:

I also wonder if they also have monkeys or elephants as pets? Oh yeah, Coldplay have ever got a song called 'Animals' back in the day so we can all predict Coldplay love animals so much.

:laugh3: BATMAN HOW DARE YOU :angry:

Is it how can people part? Or how can people apart?
