Coldplay’s next album with Kylie on it?
Source: Metro August 21, 2008
New Coldplay album due next summer? Hot on the heels of the phenomenal success of Vida La Vida, a new Coldplay album could be in the can by next summer. The band have already recorded the bulk of the songs, many of which were left over from recent studio sessions with Brian Eno for Vida La Vida. ”The Vida La vida sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded much more music then they could fit on one album,” a source told The Sun.
“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.”
If the band follow up their new offering with a greatest hits collection they will have fulfilled all commitments to their record label EMI.
“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,” the source added.
Coldplay singer Chris Martin accidentally let slip the band’s desire to rush through new material when discussing a collaboration with Kylie Minogue that didn’t make it onto Vida La Vida: “It will be on a record we will put out in 2009.”
