Coldplay: New Album To Be Called Viva La Vida
Coldplay have announced that their fourth album will be released this June 17th and will be called Viva La Vida.
It has been suggested that the album has been named after a note written by a Mexican artist on one of their paintings. The english translation is “Long Live Life”.
Their 2005 hit album X&Y went to number 1 in the charts the world over and hopefully their latest installment will be of equal or greater content.
Coldplay have always been a fans favourite and their albums have consistently sold extremely well. Some have even compared them to The Beatles. This is, of course, a little far fetched. The Beatles sold an astronomical amount of albums and continue many many years after breaking up to sell albums – they also released new records on an impressive 6 month cycle at times. Coldplay on the other hand have averaged a new album once every 3 years. Maybe artists these days just aren’t as talented or take the music to seriously and over-think its delivery.
We eagerly anticipate this new release….
