Coldplay will be back this Friday with their new event album “Moon Music”. A quick return and without a strong media presence since the group is still on the road with its record-breaking “Music of the Spheres World Tour”, which has become the most lucrative of all time. 28 concerts have been added in 2025, allowing the band to visit Abu Dhabi, Mumbai or Seoul before returning to their homeland for shows in Hull and London. “ This is my manifesto on how to keep going, not giving up, accepting reality, not running away from it, not hating anyone, even in the midst of so many difficult emotions » assures Chris Martin, who collaborates with Burna Boy, Little Simz, Ayra Starr and electro artist Jon Hopkins on this project. Described as a companion album to the previous “Music of the Spheres”, this disc is already defended by the singles “Feelslikeimfallinginlove”, number one on French radio airplay, or “We Pray”. At the same time, the group presented “Good Feelings” in concert while “iAAM” is part of the soundtrack of the new Fifa, “FC25”.

“We will make 12 albums and that will be it”
And with each album, Coldplay leaves the mystery hanging over the end of the group. A few years ago, the band behind the hits “Yellow” and “Viva La Vida” set a limit of ten albums, which has now been reached. In an interview for Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Chris Martin announced that he would postpone the deadline by two records, before putting an end to the Coldplay adventure. “ We will make 12 albums and that will be it. I promise. Because less is more and, for some critics, even less would already be too much. It’s really important for us to set a limit for ourselves » indicates the singer with 100 million records sold. And Chris Martin makes his comparisons with two big names in English pop culture: “ There are only seven [livres] “Harry Potter” and 12 and a half Beatles albums. Pretty much the same thing with Bob Marley, all our heroes in short. Also, having limitations means the quality of the product is so high right now that there’s no way a song will make it [à l’avenir]which is great ».

But why end Coldplay while the group is more than ever at the peak of its popularity? According to Chris Martin, making a “ grand » album « involves too many people » : « I want to give others time for themselves. I wouldn’t want at 60 to be like, “Come on Will [Champion, le batteur]we need you! We can do better than that “. If he assures that the band “ will always continue in one direction “, the interpreter of “My Universe” recognizes the character ” particular ” of Coldplay : « I don’t know where the songs, the ideas come from, but they’ve been coming to me for four or five years now. Ideas like “You have to finish this” and I trust that like I trust our songs ». And Coldplay had come to an end, its leader talks about the possibility of parallel projects, a bit like The Smile with two members of Radiohead : « If we do something creative together, beyond touring, it could be something different, a separate project or a compilation of things we haven’t finished “.
