Prepare for liftoff with Coldplay's "Music Of The Spheres", a cosmic ninth studio album that hurtles the British rock band into uncharted territory. Released in 2021, this intergalactic opus, helmed by producer Max Martin, injects a dose of pop stardust into Coldplay's signature sound, yielding a sonic spectrum that's as mesmerizing as it is divisive.
While some fans will delight in the album's catchy, astral-inspired anthems, others may pine for the band's classic rock roots. Yet, it's precisely this willingness to defy gravity that yields surprises like "Coloratura", an epic odyssey that shatters traditional song structures and soars into uncharted orbit. Despite the critical mixed bag, "Music Of The Spheres" has racked up impressive accolades, including a coveted spot atop the UK Albums Chart and Grammy nominations.
This album is part of a grander universe, one that the band has been cultivating since 2011's "Mylo Xyloto". Coldplay's commitment to their cosmic vision extends beyond the album, manifesting in their eco-friendly world tour and an immersive concert film that complements the album's starry-eyed themes. "Music Of The Spheres" is an audacious, boundary-pushing work that boldly redefines Coldplay's musical trajectory – an essential chapter in their ever-evolving story. - Harper
