Never one for modesty, Coldplay singer Chris Martin has announced that the band's fourth studio album is "genius" and that everyone "has to hear this song before they die." Lead singer Chris made the announcement at a press conference in Mexico, where the quartet are currently winding up their South American tour. The band will then go back into the studio to record the new album, which will mark a departure from last year's phenomenally-successful X&Y. Martin said the new album will be less formulaic and more experimental: "I think for a long time, people felt like we were a band in black-and-white. Because we have this incredible job, now we can do whatever we like, and try all kinds of new things."
We hope it lives up to expectations! |
