Posted October 14, 20195 yr Coldplay are reportedly releasing an "experimental" new album next month! Followed by a more mainstream release in 2020. Hyped for this if true! (Either way I expect there to be some new music by the end of next year)
October 14, 20195 yr Ooh I like the sound of that 'experimental' tbh, might rekindle my interest in them if we're lucky :P
October 14, 20195 yr Wasn't that project they re-named themselves for the purpose of being 'experimental'?
October 14, 20195 yr Coldplay vs Adele in the album charts. Love it! Will be interesting to hear this. I hope it's not album of Rap and Grime. I'm not here for that! Edited October 14, 20195 yr by gavindeejay
October 14, 20195 yr Author They said HFOD *could* be their last when it came out, but they never said they would retire.
October 14, 20195 yr Author A big supposed leak out now! Take it all with a grain of salt, however. Here's what was 'revealed' - The 8th album will be titled 'Fools Gold' - It will be released on November 29th - The first single will be released in the next 3 weeks, with teasing beginning next week (so we'll know if this is fake or not soon) - The album is being mixed and almost complete - The 9th album will be released Q4 2020/Q1 2021 The tracklisting for Fools Gold: 1. One Way Train (3:43) 2. Messiah (4:12) 3. Monkey's Paw (3:33) 4. Metamorphosis (5:42) 5. Mission A.B.O.R.T. (feat Daft Punk) (7:23) 6. Where Did It Go? (5:38) 7. The First Time I Said I Love You (4:08) 8. Concious Pilot (4:21) 9. A Fool's Errand (4:18) Another feature on one of the tracks will also be Foster The People - really hope it's real because it sounds brilliant! Coldplay also had some recording sessions with Daft Punk last year - so that adds a bit of weight to it.
October 14, 20195 yr So kinda like Midnight to A Sky Full of Stars with an initial experimental take before being unashamedly mainstream for the next release? :kink: I'd certainly be interested in a more experimental sound though and a Daft Punk feature sounds amazing. Whatever it is, it's been so long so I'd take anything! (I was never convinced a Head Full of Dreams would be their last, they only ever hinted at it and they're still as big as ever).
October 14, 20195 yr Author A team like that could secure a big hit. Probably not seeing as the song is apparently 7 minutes long :lol:
October 14, 20195 yr So kinda like Midnight to A Sky Full of Stars with an initial experimental take before being unashamedly mainstream for the next release? :kink: This 'Magic' erasure! I'd love to hear some more songs from them in the vein of 'Midnight' so I'll be hoping that's what they mean by "experimental". But whatever it turns out to be, I'm really glad we are getting more music from them because the 'Kaleidoscope' EP would have been a super super underwhelming way to end the Coldplay discography, here's praying this will be significantly better. I never really believed 'A Head Full Of Dreams' would actually be their last album either as they were rather vague about that statement.
October 14, 20195 yr Exciting news! Seeing them on tour is really overdue so I hope that'll happen as well.
October 14, 20195 yr They should always release songs like Midnight. They are now just commercial pap.
October 15, 20195 yr Author It's actually happening! The other guy in the picture is apparently Argentinian explorer Francisco Moreno, who died on November 22, 1919. So it would link to the rumored title of 'Fools Gold'
