Coldplay's New Album 'Moon Music' Drops Today

 A love-fuelled exercise in resilience” NME ★★★★

 

Coldplay’s highly-anticipated tenth album, Moon Music haslanded in stores and on streaming services today. The album can be purchased / downloaded / streamed here.

 

Moon Music, which was produced by Max Martin, containsAugust’s iTunes chart-topping single

WE PRAY - with Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna & TINI - andJune’s double MTV

VMAs-nominated single feelslikeimfallinginlove, which reachedNumber 1 on both the UK’s

airplay chart and the Official Big Top 40. A third single, All MyLove, is released alongside the album, with a video filmed at a Las Vegas karaoke bar premiering later today.

 

Chris Martin recently posted a video offering some insight intothe album, saying: “I think what this album is about is aresponse to struggling with all the conflict within oneself, withinmyself, and also all the conflict outside, and working out what the best response is. And I think what Moon Music is trying to say is maybe love is the best response.”

 

Moon Music was given its worldwide premiere on Monday at the Moon Saloon in Moon, Wisconsin, followed by a worldwidelistening event in cinemas on Tuesday and Wednesday.

 The band will celebrate the release of the album with a performance on tomorrow night’s Saturday Night Live,followed by a special concert on Monday for Sirius XM at theMusic Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NY. They will then perform live on the TODAY Plaza for NBC’s TODAY Show on Monday.

 

NEW FORMATS AND NEWSUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS

 

In tandem with Coldplay’s ground-breaking sustainability measures on their current world tour - which has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour - the band have gone to great lengths to makethe physical release of Moon Music as sustainable as possible.

 

This is the world's first album released as a 140g EcoRecordrPET LP, with each copy made from 9 recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste.

 

Additionally, the band have collaborated with long-time partnersThe Ocean Cleanup to create an additional format: the Notebook Edition LP. The rPET for this edition comprises 70% river plastic, intercepted by The Ocean Cleanup from the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala, and prevented from reaching the Gulf of Honduras and the Atlantic Ocean.

 

The standard CD editions of Moon Music will be the world’s firstto be released on EcoCD, created from 90% recycled polycarbonate, sourced from post-consumer waste streams.

 

In an effort to reduce waste, the first edition run of Moon Music (both EcoRecord LP and EcoCD) will be strictly limitedand produced at a higher specification than any future editions.All First Edition EcoRecord LP products will be individually numbered.

 

Moon Music is Coldplay’s first album since 2021’s Music OfThe Spheres, which spawned the US Number One single singlewith BTS, My Universe, and was nominated for Album ofthe Year at the Grammy Awards. Music Of The Spheres has accumulated more than four billion streams.
