Coldplay drops ninth album 'Music of the Spheres'

Coldplay’s new record revolves around the theme of the solar system. The album is set in a fictional planetary system called The Spheres that consists of nine planets, three natural satellites, one star, and a nearby nebula. And, interestingly, each track on the album represents a celestial body from The Spheres.

Speaking about how he got inspired to do this album, Chris Martin in an interview with Retro Pop Magazine stated, “One time I was watching ‘Star Wars’ and they had the scene with the Cantina band right. And, I was like: ‘I wonder what musicians are like across the universe?’ and that led to this whole thing and now here we are.”  'Music of the Spheres' is stacked with 12 songs. Apart from BTS, the album features artists like Selena Gomez, We Are King, and Jacob Collier. The song ‘My Universe’ already topped the charts- all thanks to the hype it created due to the band’s collaboration with BTS.
