New Coldplay Album Within The Next Year
Article published: Thu, 21 August 2008 22:59:55PM
Coldplay are apparently planning to release a new album within the next year.
Coldplay brought out their fourth studio album Viva La Vida in June but according to The Sun already have enough tracks from their recent recording sessions with Brian Eno to bring out another record.
It is claimed if the band - Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion - follow this fifth album with a greatest hits collection they will have fulfilled their contractual obligation to record label EMI and will be free to jump ship.
A source at EMI apparently told The Sun: "The Viva La Vida sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded much more music than they could fit on one album.
"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.
"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."
But a spokesman for EMI denied the claims the band may change labels.
"Contrary to inaccurate reports in The Sun, Coldplay are signed to a long term record deal with EMI and are committed to produce a number of albums. The band's relationship with EMI is both long term and positive," he said.
