IT’S a bittersweet week to be a Coldplay fan. On Friday they will release their tenth album, Moon Music, featuring collaborations with Burna Boy, Ayra Starr and Jon Hopkins. But while we can’t wait to hear it, the release puts us one step closer to the end of new music from the record-breakers.
Speaking frankly about the band’s future , frontman Chris Martin confirmed: “We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that’s real. Yeah. I promise.
“Because less is more. And for some of our critics, even less would be even more! It’s really important that we have that limit. “There’s only seven Harry Potters.
There’s only 12 and a half Beatles albums. There’s about the same for Bob Marley, so all of our heroes. “Also having that limit means the quality control is so high right now, and for a song to make it, it’s almost impossible, which is great.
And so where we could be coasting, we’re trying to improve.” Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Chris said he and bandmates Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, Will Champion and Phil Harvey are now focused on the band’s legacy and what that means. Chris said: “There’s something about the Coldplay thing.
That’s just what . . .
I don’t know where the songs come from. I don’t know where the ideas come from, but that’s just been coming to me for about four or five years now. “Like, ‘You have to finish like this,’ and I trust that just like I trust the songs.
So if we do something together .
