Vorlage:Redirect-distinguish Vorlage:Use British English Vorlage:Use dmy dates Vorlage:Infobox album Music of the Spheres (subtitled Vol I. From Earth with Love)[1] is the ninth studio album by British rock band Coldplay, released on 15 October 2021 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in the United States. The album was produced by Max Martin, who is a new producer to the band's discography.[2][3] It features guest appearances from Selena Gomez, We Are King, Jacob Collier and BTS, as well as returning contributions from electronic producer Jon Hopkins.

The album is the band's second space-themed concept album, after 2005's X&Y. It is set in a fictional planetary system called The Spheres, which contains nine planets, three natural satellites, a star and a nebula. Each one of them corresponds to a song. According to lead singer Chris Martin, its concept and themes were inspired by the Star Wars film franchise, which made him and the other band members wonder what other artists could be like across the universe.

Music of the Spheres received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom criticised the album's overtly pop sensibilities and style. The album's closing track "Coloratura", however, received widespread critical acclaim, largely for its lengthy, unconventional structure and production. "Higher Power" and "My Universe" were released as the main singles of the album, with the former being nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.[4] "Coloratura" was released as a promotional single.

Background

The idea for a space-themed record had been envisioned by the band since 2010, when lead vocalist Chris Martin proposed a project of building "a solar system", as stated in a blog published by the band, named "Roadie #42".[5] The seeds for the album might surged during the end of the A Head Full of Dreams Tour.[6]

At the time Everyday Life was released, in November 2019, one of the hints was hidden within the bifold of the booklet of the physical vinyl and digibook editions of the album, in which a black and white billboard in a field advertises "Music of the Spheres". In the bottom left corner, smaller writing says "Coldplay coming soon".[7] This, combined with the band's history of teasers for future material, fueled speculation about Music of the Sphere's themes and release date.[8] Other hints to future material were purportedly hidden within song lyrics and music videos from the Everyday Life era.[9]

Style and concept

Music of the Spheres has been described as pop,[10] pop rock,[11] synth-pop,[12] space rock,[13] space music,[14] electropop,[15] soft rock,[15] and ambient.[16] Lead singer Chris Martin stated that the theme for the album was inspired by "wonder[ing] what musicians would be like across the universe" after watching the fictional Mos Eisley cantina band perform in Star Wars and making speculations in relation to outer space sounds.[17][18]

The album is set in a fictional planetary system called The Spheres, which consists of nine planets, three natural satellites, one star and a nearby nebula. Each track on the album represents a celestial body from The Spheres. Following the album's track listing, they are: Neon Moon I ("Music of the Spheres"), Kaotica ("Higher Power"), Echo ("Humankind"), Kubik ("Alien Choir"), Calypso ("Let Somebody Go"), Supersolis ("Human Heart"), Ultra ("People of the Pride"), Floris ("Biutyful"), Neon Moon II ("Music of the Spheres II"), Epiphane ("My Universe"), Infinity Station ("Infinity Sign"), and Coloratura ("Coloratura"). Supersolis is the star at the centre of the system, and Coloratura is the Nebula. Each celestial body in The Spheres has its own language: EL 1 for Neon Moon I, Kaotican for Kaotica, Mirror Text for Echo, Qblok for Kubik, Aquamarine for Calypso, Supersolar for Supersolis, Voltik for Ultra, Bloom for Floris, EL 2 for Neon Moon II, Spheric for Epiphane, Infinitum for Infinity Station, and Coloraturan for Coloratura.[19] An unnamed natural satellite orbits Echo, while both Neon Moons orbit Epiphane.[20] A lost planet named Aurora is also part of the system, though apparently no song represents it.

Martin uses the planets as a canvas to explore the human experience: "It's really another record about life as a human person, but given this freedom that comes when you pretend it's about other creatures in other places."[21] Drummer Will Champion stated that Everyday Life was about making big questions personal, while Music of the Spheres promoted more about the purpose of the band in relation to humanity and manmade demarcations, saying: "We historically as a band tend to fill space".[6]

Promotion

On 23 April 2021, a post from an account titled 'Alien Radio FM' on social media released a set of coordinates (51°30'24.6"N 0°08'34.4"W) that led to Green Park in Piccadilly, London.[22][23] The post included a photo of an advertisement at these coordinates with unknown bright neon purple characters set to a blue background. The characters were quickly decoded by fan sites and said "Coldplay Higher Power May Seven". Similar posts would follow, which all teased the lead single, "Higher Power".[24]

On 29 April, Coldplay confirmed on their main social media accounts that a new single called "Higher Power" would in fact be released on 7 May.[25][26] Branded as a form of "extraterrestrial transmission", the band previewed the video to French European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet aboard the International Space Station prior to its public release.[27][28] Lead singer Chris Martin had stated that the theme for their upcoming music had been inspired by "wonder[ing] what musicians are like across the universe" after watching the fictional Mos Eisley cantina band perform in Star Wars.[17]

After the promotion cycle of "Higher Power" was done, creative director Phil Harvey teased a possible announcement on 19 July.[29] During the next day, Coldplay revealed the album, its tracklist, and a trailer titled "Overtura" containing a snippet for each song. They also stated that the song "Coloratura" would be released on 23 July, while the next official single would follow in September.[30] On 13 September, Coldplay announced that their second single "My Universe" which features BTS, would be released on 24 September 2021.[31] On 4 October 2021, Selena Gomez confirmed via Twitter that she is featured on "Let Somebody Go".[32]

On 7 October 2021, Coldplay announced that an album launch event for Music of the Spheres, entitled "The Atmospheres", would be held in four cities across the world (Berlin, London, New York and Tokyo) on 15 and 16 October. In each city, there was a "custom-built installation" that enabled fans to "be transported to The Spheres – the distant solar system that plays host to the band's latest album, where each of the twelve tracks is twinned with a different planet." During the event, fans had the opportunity to "create their own alien language messages, snap selfies in the augmented reality photobooth, and even help to power the experience through bespoke kinetic walkways." According to the band, the event was made possible by partnering with Amazon Music.[33]

Infinity Station Sessions EP

Vorlage:Infobox album On 2 December 2021, the band released an exclusive holiday extended play for Apple Music.[34] It features live versions of "Higher Power", "Human Heart", "People of the Pride", "Coloratura" and "Christmas Lights" recorded entirely in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. This release counts as Coldplay's sixteenth official EP.[35]

World tour

On 14 October 2021, a day before the release of Music of the Spheres, Coldplay officially announced the Music of the Spheres World Tour in 2022 to promote the album.[36] The band had not toured for their previous album, Everyday Life, as they had decided to pause touring until they could work out how to ensure that it would be environmentally friendly. Alongside the announcement, they released a detailed plan setting out how they would ensure that the tour would have a minimal impact on the environment and would result in 50% less carbon dioxide generated than during the A Head Full of Dreams Tour. The plan was developed over two years by Coldplay and a number of leading environmental experts, and features a number of innovative sustainability strategies. For example, the band have joined forces with BMW to create the first "mobile, rechargeable show battery" to power each concert on the tour, and have announced that the tour's stage will be built from "a combination of lightweight, low-carbon and re-usable materials (including bamboo and recycled steel) that can be properly reused or recycled at the end of the tour". They have also pledged to plant one tree for every ticket sold.[37]

Singles

"Higher Power" was released as the lead single on 7 May 2021. The song was produced by Max Martin, whom the band called "a true wonder of the universe". The band stated in a tweet that "it arrived on a little keyboard and a bathroom sink at the start of 2020."[25] An audio visualiser for the song, directed by Paul Dugdale, premiered on Coldplay's YouTube channel at 12:01Vorlage:Nbspa.m. BST on the same day.[38][39] "Coloratura" was then released on 23 July 2021 as a promotional single. "My Universe", a collaboration with South Korean pop group BTS, was released as the second single on 24 September 2021.[31]

Critical reception

Vorlage:Album ratings Music of the Spheres received generally mixed reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 55 out of 100 based on 18 reviews, which indicates "mixed or average reviews".[40] Ludovic Hunter-Tilney of the Financial Times gave the album two stars out of five, praising its cheerful lyrics but criticising its superficial feeling.[41] This sentiment was echoed by Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph, which called the album a "giddy sugar rush" and gave it three stars out of five.[42] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian also gave the album two stars out of five, calling its pop tones a "desperate" attempt by the band to stay on top of the record charts.[16] Rhian Daly of NME gave the album four stars out of five, and said that "While Music of the Spheres feels like quintessential Coldplay, there are some more surprising moments buried in its tracklist".[43] Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic also gave the album four stars out of five, calling it "[the band's] most unabashedly pop-centric and optimistic album to date". He elaborated thus: "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."[44] Uproxx named it one of the best albums of the year.[45]

Many of the critics, however, praised the closing track, "Coloratura". AllMusic's Neil Z. Yeung commented that "while they typically end their albums on a grand, uplifting note, ["Coloratura"] takes the prize for ambition and sheer beauty."[44] Ella Kemp, writing for Rolling Stone UK, said that the song "might be the most dazzling thing Coldplay have ever done, a sprawling Pink Floyd-esque experiment which pays off infinitely".[46] Will Hodgkinson of The Times described it as a "forward-thinking vision of a melodic utopia with shades of Pink Floyd at their most hopeful". Jeremy Levine of PopMatters praised the track for taking "plenty of structural risks that allow it to achieve a surprising level of intimacy. It's still a little lyrically over-the-top, but the variations in tone, as well as the climactic use of the band's retro instrumentation, leave us with at least one flicker of Coldplay's brilliance".[47] Ludovic Hunter-Tilney of the Financial Times felt the album's concept "only really registers" on "Coloratura", praising the elaborate orchestrations and "more sophisticated lyrics than the gaucheries of the previous songs." Tilney concluded that it "exposes the rest of the album's superficiality."[41] Paolo Ragusa of Consequence agreed, saying that the song "really flesh out what this record is supposed to sound like: sprawling, odd, and unique."[48] Bobby Olivier of Spin, on the other hand, wrote that it was "overlong",[49] while David Cobbald of The Line of Best Fit said it "lacks a sense of originality, as all of emotions and lyrics have in way appeared in their music previously."[50]

Commercial performance

Music of the Spheres debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, marking Coldplay's ninth UK number-one album and the fastest selling record of the year at the time of release, being the first project since Ed Sheeran's No.6 Collaborations Project to debut with over 100,000 units sold in the country.[51] According to Music Week, the album was also amongst the key releases that contributed to the increase of CD sales during 2021, along with Adele's 30, Sheeran's = and ABBA's Voyage.[52]
