Coldplay to rush release new album

Image...
Coldplay are reportedly set to release a new album in 2009 - despite the fact that the band's last record, 'Viva La Vida Or Death And all His Friends', was only released in June.

A report in The Sun (August 21) suggests that the band's 'Viva La Vida..' sessions with producer Brian Eno had been so successful that they were now looking to rush-release a new album of already recorded material.

A source at the band's label EMI said: "The 'Viva La Vida...' sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded much more music than they could fit on one album.

"The majority of the follow-up is already in the can, though they will have to go back into the studio at some point to add a few more songs."

Frontman Chris Martin previously revealed that the band had recorded a song with Kylie Minogue, titled 'Luna', which didn’t make it onto 'Viva La Vida...', saying that the song "will be on a record we will put out in 2009".

    Aside from making more money, which the label sees a majority of, this may be a way to complete their contract with capitol records. Every contract has a set number of albums an artist or band must complete. So if they already have material, they just might use it to get out of contract, as did Radiohead who pretty much represent themselves these days...

    I always wonder what makes people post crap like this on this site as if it is news. I am sure there is a MTV, ET, etc. site just for this.
