i'm still treating these as rumors. nothing is confirmed until an official announcement. but let's keep our fingers crossed!!

well put. i have my doubts as well, but let's wait until we get the album.

really? care to share the link? if that is the case, looking at his credits, confirms the very pop-ey orientation. coupled with rumored stargate production, not sure what to expect. edit: here it is. coldplay comment is at the very beginning. didn't watch more than 5 minutes, so could be mentioned elsewhere too.

seems like coldplay are in studio in LA. https://instagram.com/p/5f5_A1iLWd/ <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="4" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"> <div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"></div></div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://instagram.com/p/5f5_A1iLWd/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_top">Nothing like dropping by Henson Recording Studios with the kids and bumping into this guy.

hahaa! this is funny. [video=youtube;dutdcFrC9yE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=16&v=dutdcFrC9yE

that is true. but wiki specifically says a vocal sample. anyway, a little digging shows jane weaver talking about it as well. so no lp7 news here sadly. we are getting desperate for any news :lol:

apparently this was for another's arms. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/coldplaying">@coldplaying</a> It's already been done!

i thought it was synthesizers too. corrected on twitter just in case. sorry about the confusion!

According to Jane Weaver, Coldplay contacted her regarding sampling a song for their latest album. x Since Coldplay has not included any samples by Jane Weaver on their previous releases, it is a good guess that this is for AHFOD. the thread for the discussion is here.

according to the avicii fan pages, he has said that there are 2 CM collabs in the lp. but both wanted only one chris vocal. so heaven is written with chris, but features vocals from a singer that avicii has worked with frequently before. no one knows what the other song is yet, but that's the one that supposedly went through "600 versions".

avicii previewed the song live in it's demo stages. thhis is clearly chris in the demo [video=youtube;8e3ZNRE77yo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e3ZNRE77yo

actually she is talking about phil missing out on a family reunion that is coming up soon because of band commitments. note the future tense :) and the summer is hardly over. seems they are working still. probably with longer breaks in between.

also saw this from a country artist. did chris really say this anytime? i don't recall. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chris Martin says that the next Coldplay album will be the "Epic Finale"... it's Bittersweet but it sounds amazing</p>— Zack Biss (@ZackBiss) <a href="https://twitter.com/ZackBiss/status/622806636978114560">July 19, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> not sure how accurate this is. but seeing that the guy is from the industry, made me jump a bit. anyway, guy and jonny did say that lp7 probably won't be the end. but hoping for the "epic" part to be true after the more minimal GS era.

shifting gears a little, there was a lot of talk of the band taking time off till september. but according to phil's mom, the band are busy this summer on lp7. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Approaching Grand Family hols.

actually, their record deal is coming to an end after lp7. there have been several articles on this and one on how apple may be interested in them. this was even before apple streaming service came out. think they extended the original 5 lp deal to 2 more with parlophone just before or during mylo.

his speaking voice has gotten sexier and sexier!

what i'm thinking is, coldplay are going to go all out with this album's release, tour, promo, etc after the subdued affair with GS. so the first single will either be a full blown, radio friendly anthem or a more out-there/left-field song that would create some buzz (a la midnight). anyway, one thing we can look forward to is, coldplay promo similar to x&y, viva and mylo. so don't think this will be part of lp7 promo, rather a smaller support gig at a cause they support.

after seeing this, chances of this being a contribution to lp7 era is doubtful.. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">In Central Park on the <a href="https://twitter.com/GlblCtzn">@GlblCtzn</a> festival site.

check the website. seems it is a lottery system but you need to do somethings to get in. anyway, here is the msnbc video interview: http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/beyonce--coldplay-headline-nyc-festival-480902211968

this is fantastic! does anyone think that this is tied to lp7 release? i doubt it for some reason.

no the consensus was that these are other people's songs that feature coldplay music.
