This. I absolutely hate the "more dates to follow". Completely goes against the "environmentally friendly tour" aspect if you release dates in capital cities then have other shows that would be closer released later.

Here is where I saw it originally https://www.crashrecords.co.uk/products/coldplay-music-of-the-spheres-pre-order However iv noticed it now in a couple of shops - it seems to be the description sent to all the independent record stores.

Just posted on the main release thread but a bit of extra information about the track from a website where the vinyl is available for pre-order "This is followed on Friday 23 July, by the release of the album closer Coloratura – not a “single”, but an epic, 10-minute+ piano-led anthem!" Looking forward to that!

Interesting just found this on a different website selling the Vinyl "Launched alongside the album announcement is Overtura (Music Of The Spheres Album Trailer) a spectacular audio-visual journey through the album’s planetary artwork with short clips of the album’s twelve tracks. This is followed on Friday 23 July, by the release of the album closer Coloratura – not a “single”, but an epic, 10-minute+ piano-led anthem!"

No Sparks :sob:

Yeah... Champion of the world was a little rough :joy: I agree with others that it does have a more produced feel than a true live performance but still enjoyable. I hope they are still going to play Viva/Sparks?

Wow, not sure what else I can add that hasn't already been said but that was a fantastic first listen! Champion of the world a big standout for me. The last four songs as a whole feel very much like the oldplay fusion with newer Coldplay that I was hoping for from the album. Loved it.

How good are the acoustic clips in the Orphans video?!? Wow

If you are in the UK Banquet has it up for pre order - https://www.banquetrecords.com/coldplay/everyday-life/0190295337834

For those interested, there also appears to also be a gold vinyl release coming for the 'indie exclusive' record shops [MEDIA=twitter]1187439578183024641[/MEDIA] View: https://twitter.com/BullMooseVinyl/status/1187439578183024641

Just confirmed on radio 1 that the singles will both be hottest records on Annie Macs show so I expect there will be some form of short interview.

Im expecting a Radio 1 interview Thursday, its no coincidence that the UK release time is 7:30pm. Same time as Annie Macs hottest record.

7:30pm UK time Thursday :D

Official tweet and website update! [MEDIA=twitter]1186603671167131648[/MEDIA] View: https://twitter.com/coldplay/status/1186603671167131648

Didn't this confirm it was real anyway seeing as there was a tweet :p Anyway, glad to see more being sent out, hopefully someone on here gets one! :D

I certainly think its real, very similar to what we saw last week with random fans getting sent the framed picture?

Exactly how I read it. "Double album... One half sunrise the other sunset... it comes out 22 November".

Greg James just spent a good few minutes on radio 1 discussing the teaser over the weekend and Chris performance but unfortunately no new info

I certainly read it like this as well that there will be a 30 second clip of a song titled 'Trouble in town' plus an acoustic performance of one of three songs (Orphan, Daddy or Everyday Life.) but as others have said, there is no need to include this text so its clearly a hint :) Also noticed on the image file, it is called "OG_image". Wonder if OG is a reference to an name perhaps or just open graph/original but seems unnecessary to name the image file it as well.

[MEDIA=twitter]1067464152699084800[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://twitter.com/davidguetta/status/1067464152699084800 Preview for Global Citizen album there featuring "Los Unidades" on video or as its commonly known, Coldplay with some dodgy camera editing :joy:

The timing is to do with the Global Citizen Festival Sunday I would guess but I agree its very strange to create hype/mystery around the new "band" from Parlaphone etc with the film DVD package still not out. You can only assume they are trying their best to differentiate this from being an official Coldplay/Chris Martin EP as it would have been perceived otherwise.

Maybe we just interpreted it wrong and its for ideas that the entire band aren't sold on but individuals still want to release :joy:

This seems like the likely explanation to me. Gives Chris the creative freedom without a load of headlines about him "going solo" to do some different work with other artists and allows for the boys to drop in on a song if they want too without it having to be a "new Coldplay song" I had got my hopes up for the B-Sides album though :weary_face:

Seems very strange the whole new band name still, if this was just Chris and other artists for charity (as it appears to be) why would they go about putting it under a new band name under all of their names and refer to the new "band" in the post?
