New Songs of ColdPlay

It goes almost without saying that Coldplay's new album is a monumental event in the calendar pop.

His latest album, Viva la Vida sold by 2008, more than nine million copies and topped the charts worldwide, despite the decline in music sales and  New Songs ensure its position as a global force indie pop.

With their fifth work - oddly-name Xyloto Mylo - next week, Digital Spy caught the band's drummer Will Champion of only 24 hours before the LP hand experience, for more.

What would you do now, if you can not answer?
"We actually got to leave 24 hours to finish the recording, so that we are all in the spelling mode at the moment! Can you imagine if there is something  New Songs terrible failure on the record that we have collected?"

It would be rather embarrassing. There's a countdown on the giant wall?
"Not really, but we have no way, every second given to us, hard work that you want to use. We have had two years and we are still in the race at the Sad Songs last minute. 12 years down the line that you could We should think about how to do it. The last 5% of an album taking so long. "

Three years have passed from Viva la Vida. How did you and the band was to keep?
"We think we are well -... have not really done  New Songs much, to be honest, we visit pretty solid and then work on the next album, I immediately began top songs to evolve, we had only a month away, we wanted to feel like a new beginning, as if starting a new band. you need a new way of thinking to keep you motivated. "

It seemed a little ', which will take place as Coldplay's new album this year, what is?
"We never know who is telling the people what, but it usually takes us a long time to make records. We have to at some point this year where we knew that going on with him,. This has as a company to make a measuring stick for us since then did not create a song that is a very important part of the record. but there are also songs that are three years. "

Do you consider yourself a perfectionist? There is always the concern that you think, an album ...
"We are perfectionists in the sense that we take it seriously and we want everything to be displayed properly. We spend ages deciding the spaces between the songs and sounds are louder and as the songs are linked. The devil is in the details" .

Thus, the live album more than 3.5 million copies had already been Sad Songs downloaded.
I know! It's great. My son, Moses had a birthday party and all  Sad Songs party bags were given at the end. It was then that Phil said: ". That's a good idea for a concert, as a way of saying thanks for coming" So we have, and we have delivered a million CDs slowly on the recordings, in addition to download. It seems incredible. I can not believe we were allowed to do so.

You can imagine, record companies are not particularly fond of giving away millions of albums. It was hard to solve?
Not really. A lot of people working at top songs  our record company love music, so I'm glad that we help us to give something back. We all have to earn their livelihood, but  New Songs we were lucky, as a band, so we can afford to produce an album and give it away. I think everyone is happy that we have helped us to work in a position where we can reach.

This could end up as one the most of your Sad Songs  albums.
Well, thank God we have too! It makes me so happy, but man, that's really effective at it. And even if he is alive, a real album should be part of our canon. You know, to move not only a top songs  gift, it is also a musical movement. And: "I wanted to say, this is how it sounds at this time.

So it was like a proper album?
Man, we have more evidence for this album than any other, because we live top songs  played 101 times before we publish it. Talk of the test material on the road!

And are you satisfied?
In any case. What I'm most happy that it is beautiful and the guitar-y: is the first album where a song is about her, and comes in under 42 minutes.

How did you choose the tracklist?
Well, aside from Viva, we did not put the songs on it, the videos of this campaign was. We have tried things that could not hear you if you do not go to a concert, but the things we really like to play. And the songs we sing the audience really well. In a sense, must be free, because there are so many singers on it. There is no way we can afford to pay like everyone could.

Sad Songs

Where does get his sad sad music? And who has to ask top songs a composer or a cognitive psychologist?  Scientific American reported in a recent study at Tufts University, which is  probably the top songs experimental gain wide acceptance, albeit vague Sad Songs idea that Sad Songs minor third interval (two fields by a full sound and separated a semitone) Sadness transfers in speech as in song.  From this article in Scientific American, Ferris Jabr:         Almost everyone thinks, "Green sleeves" is a sad song, but why? In addition to the melancholy lyrics, because the melody is a prominent music New Songs called a minor third construct that used the music to the sadness at least the 17th Century to express. Emotional impact of the minor third is closely related to popular opinion, bound, at least for Western music, songs in major (such as "Happy Birthday") are usually written Sad Songs optimistic, while those who think in a minor key (by The Beatles top songs "Eleanor Rigby ") tend to be sore.

Coldplay - Christmas Light

Colplay - interview

The eyes of the world are watching. The airwaves are waiting. It’s been three years since the four mild-mannered stadium lords last came out survey their lot.

But as the glorious summer dawns on 2008, their vast empire has begun to excitedly scurry in preparation of their emergence since the first assertive noises emanated from their self-enforced creative exile.

Into the fray steps Clash, accosting half of Coldplay in an effort to expose the real story behind the creation of their career-defining milestone.

Finally stepping up once more to their rightful place at the top of rock’s round table, the monarchs of music are ready to reign –with a totally revised regime. All hail the new sound. All hail Coldplay.

First up, Scottish-born bassist Guy Berryman…

How does it feel to be on the brink of the release of an album that literally the whole world is waiting for?

Well it’s a sort of mixed feeling really. It’s obviously very exciting but it’s obviously very terrifying at the same time. We’re just sitting still at the moment, waiting. We put a lot of work into this record and we just hope it’s gonna be received in the way that we want it to be really. It’s just a very strange emotional time really because we’ve finished the record, it’s been mixed and it’s been mastered, and at this very moment in time it’s being manufactured somewhere, so you can’t fuck with it anymore; it’s done, so you’ve just gotta let it go and wait until it comes out in the shops.

Next up, the gracious frontman and incessant activist, Chris Martin. Usually the paradigm of self-assurance, on the day Clash catches up with Chris, he is atypically dejected and in the need of some gentle encouragement…

Does huge success limit your experimentation on every new album, or does it bolster your confidence?

We’ll see. The thing about big success is that there is a big portion of people who don’t want you to change and an even bigger portion of people who do want you to change. I think on the last record we felt pressure not to change, so we didn’t change that much, but then when we finished that, we sort of felt we were really hungry to try new things. And so we got our own place called The Bakery [their studio in North London] and we went in there with Brian [Eno] and with [co-producer] Markus [Dravs] and just felt very liberated. We definitely didn’t use the same old tricks, so that by its very nature is a bit risky, I think.

How did that liberty infuse your music?

Just by you come in in the morning and then you don’t feel trapped by anything, you know? So if you wanna spend three hours on pan-pipes you can do it, and then at the end of it you can say, ‘let’s keep that’ or ‘let’s not keep that’. But we don’t come in every morning anymore and say, ‘Okay, what’s today’s piano ballad?’ You know what I mean?

You may not be playing any festivals this year, but are you hoping to get down to any yourself?

Really the only one that I’m gutted to miss is watching Jay Z at Glastonbury. But we’re in America then so we just can’t go to it, which is annoying.

You mean am I biased?

What do you make of those arguments about Jay Z headlining Glasto? He’s a friend of yours, isn’t he?

Er, yeah.

I’m very biased. But I’m also aware that he is possibly the most talented man on the planet, so I’m not that worried about being biased. I think it’s one of the best ideas ever.

So you don’t agree with Noel Gallagher’s comments about Glasto being for guitars only?

No, I don’t. (Laughs) I love Noel to bits but that was a stupid thing to say.

Where can Coldplay go and what can Coldplay do that you’ve not been and done before?

Where can we go? We can try and get better.

On record or on stage?

On record and on stage. Ultimately we try to provide a service, you know? And for all the wanting to be cool and everything, really what we wanna do is make someone who buys our record or comes to our concert have a nice hour and feel something. That’s one of the reasons I like the changes that are happening in the industry – everything is a bit more direct. If I had my way I would just hope that someone on their way back from school listens to some songs and the journey from school is a bit less boring. So where can we go from here? We can just try and make bus journeys really exciting.

Exclusive! Coldplay Interview

MTV News spoke to Coldplay about their love of Rihanna, working with Kylie and their awesome new album

MTV News: When and how did you decide to start this new album?

Chris Martin: What normally happens with us and what definitely happened this time is as soon as we finish one record, we think we can do better and so we start working on another one because we feel like we have everything to prove again. You know what I mean? So as soon as we finished X&Y, we got straight back to work because we knew we could do something better.
