This Friday, October 4, ‘Moon Music’, Coldplay’s tenth album, goes on sale. And it looks like it will be the second to last: Chris Martin has said that the group plans to release only two more albums before retiring from the recording studio. He will not publish more than 12 albums. Although it is difficult to take their statements seriously: in 2016 they hinted that ‘A Head Full of Dreams’ would be their last album, and this has not been the case.
“We’re only going to release 12 albums, properly speaking, and this is serious, I promise,” were Martin’s words to Zane Low. For Martin it is important to respect quality control and the maxim of “less is more”. He gives other pop artifacts as examples: “There are only eight Harry Potter films, there are only 12 and a half Beatles albums,” he points out.
Martin insists that Coldplay will release 12 albums and no more, and talks about the band’s future, reasoning that “if we do anything together after that, other than touring, it will be something different, a side project or, perhaps, a compilation of things that we have not finished.
Martin assures that for Coldplay “setting this limit means that quality control, right now, for us, is very high,” and it also means that “it is almost impossible for a song to end up on our album, and that’s great.” ».
‘Moon Music’, Coldplay’s new album, has been promoted with the singles ‘feelslikeimfallinginlove’ and ‘We Pray’, although the British band has recently triumphed with two old hits, ‘Viva la vida’ and, above all, ‘Yellow ‘.
