Singer Chris Martin has dropped a bombshell, saying the British band Coldplay plans to release a total of just 12 proper albums. Speaking to People Magazine, Coldplay said that it is really important to have a limit. "We are only going to do 12 proper albums, and that's real...less is more. And for some of our critics, even less would be even more. It's really important that we have that limit. There's only 12 and a half Beatles albums," he said.
"There's about the same Bob Marley, so all of our heroes. and also having that limit means that the quality control is so high right now, and for a song to make it, it's almost impossible, which is great," he added.
Speaking further, Chris Martin said, "I don't know where the songs come from. I don't know where the ideas come from, but that's just been coming to me for about four or five years now. Like, 'You have to finish like this,' and I trust that just like I trust the songs. So if we do something together after that creatively beyond touring, then it'll be something different, or it'll be a side thing, or it'll be a compilation of things we hadn't finished."
For the unversed, 'Coldplay's 10th studio album, 'Moon Music', is scheduled for release on October 4, 2024.
