October, and the always impactful fourth quarter, kicks off this week with Coldplay’s 10th studio album, joining a lineup of new music releases that includes titles from Eric Clapton, Motley Crue, NLE Choppa, Leon Bridges, Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas and more — plus a collection of Disney songs like you’ve never heard ‘em before (all subject to change)…
Album of the Week…Coldplay, “Music of the Spheres Vol. II: Moon Music” (Atlantic): As the title indicates, the British quartet’s 10th studio album is a sequel to its last album in 2021, working with some of the same producers (Max Martin, Oscar Holter) on another 10 tracks, recording partly in Spain this summer while playing concerts in Europe. It also includes guest appearances by Jon Hopkins, Burna Boy, Little Simz, Elyanna, Tini, Ayra Starr and more. Expect to hear a couple of the songs when Coldplay serves as musical guest on the Oct. 5 episode of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.
