Coldplay to rush release new album

COLDPLAY are plotting a surprise record album which could appear little more than a
class after Viva La Vida conquered the planet.


The quartet already have the spine of the assembling in spot thanks to their
super-productive recent studio sessions with BRIAN ENO.


And if CHRIS MARTIN, BERRYMAN, JONNY BUCKLAND and WILL
CHAMPION
follow up their new offer with a greatest hits collection
they will have got fulfilled all commitments to their record label, EMI.


That would pave the way for them to follow PAUL McCARTNEY and RADIOHEAD
out of the door.


A source at the label said: �The Viva La Vida sessions were
incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded a great deal
more music than they could fit on unrivaled album.


�The majority of the followup is already in the can, though they
testament have to go back into the studio at some point to impart a few more songs.


�Standard industry contracts tend to be for sextuplet albums, so if they
provide some kind of compilation afterward their future album they will be free
agents and able to renegociate their undertake or fountainhead out on their possess.�


EMI was interpreted over by a finance firm last year and many of the artists signed
to it at the time bitterly opposed the deal.


Macca and Radiohead have already walked while the management of ROBBIE
WILLIAMS
suffer expressed hard reservations about the new regime.


The formerly beardy pop knob even started a sleeveless �strike�
in protest.


Chris Martin, however, has kept a very tactical silence on the subject and
where the band�s future lies.


But he has hinted that he wants to make new real out as soon as possible.


When discussing a collaboration with KYLIE MINOGUE that didn�t
make believe the final cut for Viva La Vida, he let slip: �It will be on a
record we testament put out in 2009.�





But, with global titans such as MADONNA and JAY-Z forgoing
multi-million-pound record deals with concert promoters, I wouldn�t
be surprised if Coldplay do part company with their home in the following couple
of years.


In order to record Viva La Vida, which was released in June, the group
constructed their own studio in a obsolete bakery in North London.


The opening between their previous album X&Y and its reexamination was a
whopping three years and the isthmus are penetrating to reduce the meter between albums
drastically.


Their touring commitments run up until the end of the year ? but they
are likely to announce a string of new shows in Australia and the Far East
shortly.

All this points to a late summer release next year for Coldplay album
act five, which is a very salutary thing.

"I thought it was a scrap excessively under the microscope to be honest," he said. "I would think that that sort of matter variety of goes manus in mitt with euphony sometimes. Non that I'm making excuses just, yea, I was surprised at the reaction." Noll is apologetic around his drunken execution at a euphony fete shoemaker's last month, but says it's hardly the worst thing a rock star could do. Fans of the Aussie Matinee idol alumna complained after Noll reportedly slurred his way through a set at the CMC Rocks The Snowys festival in Thredbo, NSW.

"Everyone in the crowd was fair tanked as well, so it's exactly the way of life it goes sometimes."

Noll is about to embark on an Aboriginal Australian hitch in June - his biggest in deuce years. After disbursement approximately clip touring in the US to begin with this year, Noll is keen to play in front of audiences at home once again. He is too looking forward to the routine and province that comes with a subject spell. "I'm look onward to acquiring a structure departure where it's a demonstrate one night and then a read the next night, you recognize," he said.
