Speaking recently about Coldplay’s imminent fourth album, guitarist Jonny Buckland said: “We felt like the first three albums were a trilogy and we finished that. So we wanted to do something different.”
This is good news for all of those who considered 2005’s X&Y as little more than an exercise in treading water by one of the world’s favourite stadium bands.
Coldplay’s fourth album is currently untitled (although Prospekt has been suggested) and is being produced by Brian Eno, one of the music world’s most respected technologists. Eno has brought strings, beats and even African influences to the mix.
“Whether it’s good or not,” commented Chris Martin to Rolling Stone Magazine, “we have certainly started to use more colours. It’s impossible to please everybody, and it’s taken us a while to learn that.”
To celebrate Coldplay’s imminent return, check out the nine videos that are now available on BT Vision, including Fix You, In My Place, Speed of Sound and The Scientist.
Or check out the band live in concert in 2003 - fives years after they formed in London in 1998, and three years after their breakthrough hit Yellow, which went on to sell millions.
“Lucky for Coldplay and for us [that] Chris Martin remains riddled with self-doubt,” said the NME recently, of the former self-confessed geek who purportedly didn’t lose his virginity until after the band’s first hit single, and then went on to marry Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow.
“Coldplay have progressed so far from the hesitant sweetness of their first album,” proclaimed the Telegraph. “They are now huge, epic, U2-ish. It is their natural habitat.”
