Coldplay to Release New Album in 2009
Coldplay will reportedly release a follow-up album to Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends in 2009, according to Contact Music. Apparently, Chris Martin and his bandmates recorded enough new songs with producer Brian Eno for the basis of a new album which would be their fifth album with EMI. A source told The Sun:
“The Viva La Vida sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded much more music than they could fit on one album. The majority of the follow-up is already in the can, though they will have to go back into the studio at some point to add a few more songs.”
The source further explained:
“Standard industry contracts tend to be for six albums, so if they provide some kind of compilation after their next album they will be free agents and able to renegotiate their contract or head out on their own.”
It sounds like they want some freedom! It’s incredible that they have the basis for another album already though. Awesome!
