Moon Music features collaborations with various artists. For instance, Arya Starr features on the track “Good Feelings”.
Also, Little Simz, Elyanna, Burna Boy, and Tini join Coldplay on the song “We Pray”. The track was co-written by Jay-Z Little Simz, Elyanna, Max Martin, Burna Boy, Tini, and more.
Apple Martin, Chris Martin’s daughter, is credited as a writer on the song “Feels Like I’m Falling in Love”, which is alongside Max Martin, Jon Hopkins, and Tim Rutili.
Where Was Moon Music Recorded?
Coldplay’s Moon Music was reportedly partially recorded in Punta Paloma Studio in Tarifa, Spain.
The band used the office as its operations base between July and August 2024 in between performances in Rome, Helsinki, and Dusseldorf.
What was the Moon Music Recording Budget?
It is believed Dave Holmes, Coldplay’s former manager, negotiated a $35 million budget advance with Parlophone for the album’s recording. It is, therefore, the highest budget of all time for an album.
The financials were made public from released court files. It is believed that much of the budget was spent on organizing recording sessions, clearing samples, producer recruitment, and promotional campaigns. As Coldplay has dismissed Holmes as manager, it is unclear if the budget is accurate.
Who Shot the Album Cover?
Coldplay is believed to have reached out to Matias Alonso Revelli, an Argentine photographer, in 2020 to discuss his moonbow shot.
The band members contacted Revelli to secure the image as their album cover. The talented photographer offered the band alternative versions, but they agreed to use their original choice for the album’s artwork.
The remainder of the album package was created by Pilar Zeta, who they have collaborated with on numerous occasions.
What Do the Top Critics Say About Moon Music?
Moon Music hasn’t officially released, but it has earned many positive reviews for its signature Coldplay sound and ambitious concept.
Various publications, including Vulture and the Los Angeles Times, have ranked Moon Music as the most anticipated album of the year.
Many music critics gave the song “Feels Like I’m Falling in Love” positive reviews. For instance, Billboard’s Andrew Unterberger stated it was “Coldplay generally doing what they do best: love songs with moody verses and blood-rush choruses.”
