The 10+ minute Coloratura is Coldplay’s second single to be released from their forthcoming album ‘Music of the Spheres’.
The group’s ninth LP is due October 15 and features the previously-released Higher Power, which premiered in June via live link to astronauts on the International Space Station.
Clocking in at 10:18, the new single is the closing track on the album, produced by Max Martin, and it’s longest cut by far.
The next full single from the LP will be released in September.
Coldplay’s previous album ‘Everyday Life’ was released in November 2019 and the band teased its follow-up in the liner notes for that record.
Frontman Chris Martin previously revealed ‘Music of the Spheres’ was inspired by his love of the Star Wars movies.
“One time I was watching ‘Star Wars’ and they had the scene with the Cantina band right,” he said.
“And I was like: ‘I wonder what musicians are like across the universe?’ and that led to this whole thing and now here we are.”
The album is available to pre-order on CD and limited vinyl now.
