Coldplay have released Music of the Spheres, their new album and ninth studio full-length to date. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify.
Music of the Spheres was produced by Max Martin, the Swedish mega-producer responsible for countless No. 1 hits, and follows Coldplay’s 2019 full-length Everyday Life. It unabashedly leans into today’s pop radio style, which means there’s funky percussion, disco-esque beats, and the soft delivery of R&B production. Dispersed throughout are cold, twinkly, electronic notes meant to imitate the computerized sounds we associate with outer space.
The new album spans 12 tracks in total, including the alien-touting song “Higher Power,” the 10-minute-long single “Coloratura,” and their crossover collaboration with BTS called “My Universe.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, the latter is a fan favorite with the BTS ARMY, in part thanks to the song’s intergalactic music video and a special live rendition from Coldplay’s Global Citizen Live set.
