Coldplay Name New Album

2008-03-20T19:12:00.000-07:00

It sounds like an ill-advised Ricky Martin reference, but it was actually inspired by a phrase inscribed on a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Coldplay's fourth album is to be called Viva La Vida - not Prospekt, as was widely reported - and it will be released on 16 June.

Explaining the unusual choice of title, frontman Chris Martin explained: “Everyone thinks it comes from Ricky Martin, which is fine. I've been through this before, naming something or someone and everyone saying, 'That’s a terrible name'. But then saying, 'Well, fuck you, that's what it's called, and I'll be proved to be right eventually'. So when Viva La Vida came along, I was kind of annoyed because I'm going to have to try and convince everybody of this, but it just felt right.”

COLDPLAY REVEAL NEW ALBUM DETAILS

Coldplay posted a handwritten note on their Web site detailing the groundwork for the next, Brian Eno-produced album. The set will have a running time of about forty-two minutes, with a tracklist somewhere in the vicinity of nine tunes. Among the possible songs making the cut are “Cemeteries of London,” “Violet Hill,” “Poppy Fields,” “42,” “Leftrightleftrightleft,” “Rainy Day” and the exclamation-happy duo of “Lost!” and “Yes!” The band is still “a few months from finishing” the follow-up to 2005’s X & Y.
