9th Album Pressed on Clear EcoRecord Vinyl! Vol. I From Earth With Love! Includes "Higher Power," "My Universe" Feat. BTS & "Let Somebody Go" Feat. Selena Gomez! 2023 Grammyr Award Nominee: Album of the Year: Music of the Spheres Best Pop Duo/Group Performance: "My Universe" Featuring BTS Best Pop Vocal Album: Music of the Spheres 2022 Grammyr Award Nominee: Best Pop Duo/Group Performance: "Higher Power" Coldplay's ninth album is produced by Max Martin and features twelve tracks, five of which are represented by emojis. The album includes the songs "Higher Power" and "Coloratura." Their most unabashedly pop-centric and optimistic album to date, this sci-fi concept piece is the spiritual successor to technicolor predecessors Mylo Xyloto and A Head Full of Dreams - outpacing both with its sharp focus and lean runtime - while maintaining the boundary-pushing energy heard on the Kaleidoscope EP and Everyday Life. With the help of super producer Max Martin - who previously worked with the band on 2019 singles 'Orphans' and 'Champion of the World' - the quartet sound more cohesive than they've been in years, benefitting from a single producer's vision in a similar fashion to what Brian Eno pulled off with Viva La Vida. -Neil Z. Yeung, AllMusic.com, 4/5 stars (The AllMusic 2021 Year In Review - Favorite Pop Albums)
