Coldplay has officially gone into orbit with Moon Music, the group’s 10th studio album that arrived on Friday (Oct. 4).
The project is led by LP’s first single, “feelslikeimfallinginlove,” as well as follow-up tracks “All My Love” and “We Pray,” a collaboration with Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and TINI. Moon Music also features two more collaborations, Ayra Starr on “Good Feelings” and Jon Hopkins on the title track.
In line with the foursome’s long-standing eco-ethics, Coldplay has “gone to great lengths” to make the physical release of Moon Music “as sustainable as possible,” according to a statement. Each 140g LP will contain some nine recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste, and the CD version is said be the “world’s first” to be released on EcoCD, created from 90% recycled polycarbonate, also sourced from post-consumer waste.
The group is currently in the midst of their sprawling Music of the Spheres World Tour. In August, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the run grossed $945.7 million and sold 8.8 million tickets since launching in March 2022. That makes it both the highest-grossing and best-selling trek among rock acts in the almost 40 years that Boxscore has been tracking concert data.
