Especially now if you're a young artist, if you come up, there's such a plethora of opinion coming at you all day, everyday on Twitter and Instagram and everything, that it could sometimes become hampering and restrictive. Martin explained, "Well, that's something I learned from Bruce Springsteen. And you can sometimes get worried by commercial or critical pressures, and we just decided to release all of those pressures and just give off pure, unfiltered songs."Įveryday Life is certainly the next step for Coldplay, and as they've moved into this next era of music, they're in a very comfortable place with the band (especially in terms of public opinion) and have taken a page out of Bruce Springsteen's notebook.

I think after the last war finished, we felt very open, and also we connected with people in so many places, and it just somehow gave us this feeling of freedom. Chris said, "We decided to just remove all the filters. Having tackled such candid topics in their new music, the band decided that they were going to "remove all the filters" and be completely open. And so, I think that's why we called it Everyday Life, because it's just kinda the spoil and the stew together." And sometimes the songs are very much personal experience, and other times they are empathetic in terms of thinking what other people are going through, or seeing what other people are going through. Speaking to Harms, the frontman explained of the Everyday Life theme, "I think the main theme is just being human. There's so much life bursting out on the planet." Every day is great and every day is terrible. Martin previously explained to BBC 1 of the songs on Everyday Life, "It's all about just being human. Throughout performances of Everyday Life songs including "Arabesque," "Trouble In Town," "Èkó," "Cry Cry Cry," "Daddy" and "Orphans," in addition to fan favorites from previous albums like "The Scientist," "Something Just Like This" and "Viva La Vida," Martin opened up about how the band's new double album came together, what the music means, and so much more.Įveryday Life follows Coldplay's 2015 album A Head Full of Dreams, and it's divided into two parts: "Sunset" and "Sunrise." The LP features 15 new songs in total, produced by The Dream Team, and features appearances from Stromae, Femi Kuti, Tiwa Savage and Jacob Collier. The band shared their eighth full-length LP, Everyday Life, on November 22nd, and celebrated big with a very special performance in Jordan.ĭuring their exclusive iHeartRadio Album Release Party special just a few days later, fans were able to listen to some of these performances, and hear Coldplay's Chris Martin talk about Everyday Life in detail with iHeartRadio's Harms.
