Christmas day is obviously way under nine fortnights from now; and like a real bonanza, it is a no-brainer that Coldplay’s historic body of berceuse is sitting handsomely on over 624 million streams on Spotify — a Swedish audio streaming as well as media service provider. Having blasted into flesh on October 4 of last year, this album dubbed — Moon Music — is still bubbling with such mannerism and dominion in hits aficionados’ “turned as well as peered across faint misted” ears.
Far from contradictory gratification, nearer to a non-stone-faced preposterous remarkable providence; this chorally made grind of joints, dropped in the form of an 140g EcoRecord rPET LP that — fairly importantly — in that regard, would become a world’s first release: each copy made from 9 recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste.
The past and current merging — igniting the future jotted on a piece of paper; the ‘Standard CD’ editions of Moon Music unleashed the burst of thrill correspondingly as the universe’s paramount to be dropped on ‘EcoCD’: created from 90% recycled polycarbonate — sourced from post-consumer waste streams.
The jam sandwich cavalier art of straw-hat cadenced noises by the British rock band — is of a clean sweet air effect. A — without a doubt, very hard to snub pitch-perfect high notes drumming intrusion of some sort, on the harsh-smelling smoke; notorious for “with disquieting discordance” — mooching around the stratosphere!
Coldplay’s “spank on nostrils” most likely than not perched on the neck of the 2025 time period, having for the snootier hunk of last 12-month, speared ankles as well as calves. A non-too-abhorred byword of the glitziest dins; swelling the interest of perhaps saving the “on the brink of a hatch” year’s virginity from a stale olive steal would — with an overdose — become a non-too-coy concern for the smoulder.
Fighting for a birdcall title not a pile of dust, by the same token of a taste of sweat and earth in the mouth — rising from a cool breeze off the park; Coldplay’s donuts formation Moon Music is still — fine invisibly pungently landing to ‘love ploy’ nerves — symphonically trapping strands of hair!
Besides focusing on the band’s scales with vocalist as well as pianist Chris Martin — illustrious for delivering pipes for decades; a sonic bona fide cast consisting guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer as well as percussionist Will Champion — is legendary for its precious whipping out of stringed and keyed ‘stupid funks’.
As luck would have it; Coldplay’s purring consonance arias are impacting popular culture through artistry, advocacy as well as achievements. Zooming in, the more than four billion streams hoarded by the band’s last offering — is no child’s play. Basically using the 808, throbs and synth bass; the Phil Harvey managed anthem Einstein’s red-hot shell Moon Music — given its worldwide premiere at the Moon Saloon in Moon, Wisconsin — is of a cactus spine; albeit greasy, yet — all but — moist!

Upon the beginning of the latter’s existence — Chris Martin uttered: “I think what this album is about is a response to struggling with all the conflict within oneself, within myself, and also all the conflict outside, and working out what the best response is. And I think what ‘Moon Music’ is trying to say is: ‘maybe love is the best response’.”
Last August’s iTunes chart-topping spanking single called We Pray, as well as June 2024’s double MTV VMAs-nominated smacker termed ‘Feels Like I’m Falling in Love’ — which reached the summit on both the UK’s airplay chart as well as the Official Big Top 40; sum up ditties rolled out on the catchy Max Martin produced opus sculpt.
Simbiatu Abisola Abiola Ajikawo an English-Nigerian rapper who goes by the alias Little Simz, and Nazareth-born Palestinian-Chilean Arab-Pop singer-songwriter Elian Marjieh known on-stage as Elyanna — both hit the studio; licenced to thrill on the former piece of euphony! Martina Stoessel an Argentine vocalist, actress, dancer as well as model behind the moniker Tini, and Nigerian singer, librettist as well as record producer Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu professionally known as Burna Boy — also ushered in the highly stratified booth affair surrounded by walls covered in countless wordplays.
Similarly taking the lion’s share on Moon Music is the tune All My Love — the third track from the album to surpass 70 million streams on Spotify. The toothsome video to the banger — filmed at a Las Vegas karaoke bar; has to date reaped over 42 million views on American social media and online video sharing platform — YouTube. The lullaby was hatched alongside the highly anticipated bomb of a tonal pattern composition; which would become Coldplay’s tenth tempi offering, precisely 24 years after the inscription of the band’s debut Brit as well as Grammy Award-winning toil of ballads Parachutes — conceived to nestle in the nest of a dewy behind the ears millennium!
Music of the Spheres (2021), Everyday Life (2019), A Head Full of Dreams (2015), Ghost Stories (2014), Mylo Xyloto (2011), Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), X&Y (2005), as well as A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002); have all sprightly seen the light of day. From being best-sellers of their respective years to topping charts in over 30 countries; it is through these jazzy lilt chef-d’oeuvres that Coldplay would explore genres like Ambient, Blues, Disco, Electronica, Funk, Gospel, Progressive Rock, as well as Rhythm & Blues.
That right there being “too good for words”, in tandem with their sweeping sustainability procedures; the Yellow, Hymn For The Weekend, as well as A Sky Full Of Stars sound lords — have gone to great spans, to make the physical release of Moon Music: “as sustainable as possible.”
A great dynamic duo similar to cheese and onion, the band pooled resources with long-time partners — The Ocean Clean-up; to create an auxiliary format: ‘the Notebook Edition LP’. A new type of trill least beleaguered; the ‘rPET’ for this edition encompasses 70% river plastic, intercepted by The Ocean Clean-up from the — Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala — and prohibited from reaching the Gulf of Honduras as well as the Atlantic Ocean.
Finding a language of reach as well as support through auditory communication, in an effort to reduce waste; the first edition run of Moon Music (both ‘EcoRecord LP’ and ‘EcoCD’) augmented to a — strictly limited as well as produced at a higher specification than any future editions — trajectory: spiralling above thick layers of dust. With all ‘First Edition EcoRecord LP’ products individually numbered; aging finely like wine — as of now — is a perfectly worshipped fruition of a fat itch bargaining worth more than the body can do!
