Their biggest recent hit was a collaboration with dance duo The Chainsmokers, and as far back as 2003 Martin wrote a hit single for Birmingham pop star Jamelia. They performed with Beyoncé and Bruno Mars at the Super Bowl, brought Bee Gee Barry Gibb on at Glastonbury and wheeled out Ed Sheeran at a Shepherd’s Bush album launch show just this week. Perhaps in a bid to placate poor underworked Jonny Buckland, there’s a cocky glam rock riff all over People of the Pride – possibly their loudest ever song – but otherwise the sound is shiny mainstream pop.įrontman Chris Martin has never placed Coldplay as a rock band, of course. There are planets on the sleeve and a concept involving music from outer reaches of the galaxy, though in truth the nine songs and three interludes sound very much like Coldplay with the guitars turned down and the synths right up. The lead single, Higher Power, confirmed those lofty ambitions by being launched with a broadcast to the International Space Station. They need to be the centre of the universe too. But Music of the Spheres suggests they’re not content with being the biggest band in the world. The quartet already have enough hits in a stellar back catalogue to guarantee stadium status and intermittent Glastonbury headline slots until retirement. N middle age, as they release their ninth album, Coldplay could play it safe. New West End Company BRANDPOST | PAID CONTENT.Tej Kohli & Ruit Foundation BRANDPOST | PAID CONTENT.
