Coldplay's highly-anticipated tenth album, Moon Music, has landed in stores and streaming services.
Moon Music, which Max Martin produced, contains August's iTunes chart-topping single WE PRAY—with Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna & TINI—and June's double MTV VMAs-nominated single feelslikeImfallinginlove, which reached Number 1 on both the UK's airplay chart and the Official Big Top 40.
A third single, All My Love, is released alongside the album. The video was filmed at a Las Vegas karaoke bar.
Chris Martin recently posted a video offering some insight into the album, saying, "I think what this album is about is a response to struggling with all the conflict within oneself and also all the conflict outside and working out what the best response is. And I think Moon Music is trying to say that maybe love is the best response."
Moon Music was given its worldwide premiere on Monday at the Moon Saloon in Moon, Wisconsin, a momentous event that united fans from all corners of the globe. This was followed by a global listening event in cinemas on Tuesday and Wednesday, further strengthening the bond among Coldplay's diverse fan base.
The band will celebrate the album's release with a performance on Saturday Night Live, a highly-anticipated event that promises to be a musical extravaganza. This will be followed by a special concert on Monday for Sirius XM at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NY, and a live performance on Monday on the TODAY Plaza NBC's TODAY Show, all of which are sure to leave fans eagerly awaiting more.
NEW FORMATS AND NEW SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS
In tandem with Coldplay's ground-breaking sustainability measures on their current world tour—which has so far produced 59% less CO2 emissions than their previous stadium tour—the band has gone to great lengths to make the physical release of Moon Music as sustainable as possible.
This is the world's first album released as a 140g EcoRecord rPET LP, with each copy made from 9 recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste.
Additionally, the band has collaborated with long-time partners The 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 first to be released on EcoCD. They are created from 90% recycled polycarbonate sourced from post-consumer waste streams.
To reduce waste, the first edition run of Moon Music (both EcoRecord LP and EcoCD) will be strictly limited and produced at a higher specification than any future editions. All First Edition EcoRecord LP products will be individually numbered.
Moon MusiColdplay's first album since 2021's Music Of The Spheres spawned the US Number One single with BTS, My Universe, and was nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards.
Music Of The Spheres has accumulated more than four billion streams.
