Next Coldplay album in 2009? 2008-08-22 by Alex101 | 25 Comments | Coldplay are planning to release a fifth album in 2009, just a year after their last chart-topping offering, Viva La Vida.
The band, fronted by actress Gwyneth Paltrow's husband Chris Martin, have been exceptionally productive after collaborating with musician Brian Eno.
It is believed they have already chosen many of the songs for the new album, which were recorded during the making of Viva La Vida, and with the help of Eno.
A source at their record label, EMI, said: "The Viva La Vida sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded much more music than they could fit on one album.
The majority of the follow-up is already in the can, though they will have to go back into the studio at some point to add a few more songs."
If Coldplay go on to produce a greatest hits collection next, they will have fulfilled all commitments to EMI. This will pave the way for them to part company with the label, following in the footsteps of Radiohead and Paul McCartney.
The EMI source said: "Standard industry contracts tend to be for six albums, so if they provide some kind of compilation after their next album they will be free agents and able to renegotiate their contract or head out on their own."
EMI was taken over by a finance firm last year and many of the artists signed to it at the time opposed the deal. But Coldplay have kept quiet about their future, although Martin has hinted he would like to get out his new material as soon as possible.

Pretty sweet. Viva was a very good album rather surprisingly, so I'm interested to see what their next album will sound like.

EMI kinda kill the record industry.... well just the artists.

So Coldplay are here to release the same album again... Sounds like a good plan. Mind you, they've been doing that their whole career. Seriously, I don't dislike Coldplay, I really like some songs, but they just keep making the same album again and again, and now they're releasing what is essentially a b-sides from the last album? I probably won't be checking this out. Sounds like a good way to make money rather than come up with an interesting product. Oh well.

Spamue, I disagree. Each album has its own distinct sound. For instance, would Clocks fit on Viva la Vida? Would Talk fit on Parachutes? Not really.
| | |
See, I think it would just about. I just get this horrible feeling of Deja Vu every time I listen to a Coldplay album, although the generally dull production may have something to do with it. Clocks on VLV is a tough one, but I think Talk would fit on Parachutes.

^not every band births a completely original masterwork each time. Only the best evolve and change dramatically... expecting that level out of these pleasant sounding media pets is demanding too much.
too much from a band thats the alternative comparable to adult contemporary
| | |
^While I see your point, I just can't help feeling let down. I might as well have stuck with buying A Rush Of Cold Blood and Yellow (everyone should own that song), but I stuck with every album up until Viva La Vida. It was supposed to be some sort of new direction, but it felt just like the other albums and I couldn't get anything out of it. I'm not asking for something completely original, just for something fresh.

He produced X&Y and everyone seems to forget that.
| | |
Brian Eno also produced U2's The Joshua Tree so this sounds very promising.
| | |
brian eno has produced some of the most inspired works in modern rock history. seriously: http://music.hyperreal.org/artists/brian_eno/discog.html
Velvet Underground, David Bowie, John Cale, Devo, Talking Heads, U2, Peter Gabriel, and not to mention his own works...
sure he has made missteps but didn't trump go bankrupt?
| | |
hey awesome
| | |
On MTV (Canada) I saw an interview with Coldplay, and they said a very similar thing, that they have some quality songs that didin't make it onto VLV, but they didn't hint towards a new albums. This will succeed, but will be incredibly similar to VLV,

This will succeed, but will be incredibly similar to VLV,
there isn't anything wrong with that!
| | |
well, I guess Year Zero Pt. 2 will be spankin' as well
| | |
As if they needed another way to be similar to radiohead.
kid a is to amnesiac
as viva la vida is to same old crap
| | |
what does that even mean
| | |
seriously... bad analogy
| | |
could be good
| | |
ya, Amnesiac is equally good to Kid A
| | |
false
and i dont look forward to this even though the new coldplay was a lot better than i expected
| | |
who cares?
| | |
^ alot of people so go away
| | |
Cool. I'm looking forward to it. And I disagree about all of Coldplay's albums sounding the same. They tend to use the same instruments, but always find creative ground with it.
And VLV is amazing. Hopefully we get to hear the old Coldplay a bit...
