Chris Martin remembers what it felt like when the script flipped. It happened not long after Coldplay’s second album, 2002’s A Rush of Blood to the Head. “We started to get the backlash to having become popular. And then suddenly we were the least popular band in the world as well,” the frontman says over Zoom from Los Angeles. “We never had to deal with that before, and we were a total mess.” Their early singles “Yellow” and “Clocks” had been massive hits, but there was drama with the record label, and their next batch of demos was full of duds by his own admission. Martin was still figuring out how to be in a band with guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer Will Champion, while also learning how to raise a child as a newlywed. “I was so low in confidence,” he recalls. “I’d lost sight of that inner voice that tells you where to go.”

Martin has never felt as though he could summon that voice on command. It just shows up and drops songs into his life right when he needs it to — and at the time, he really needed it to. The result was “Fix You,” the 2005 piano ballad that guaranteed a future for Coldplay. In the two decades since then, they have followed that intuitive feeling across seven more albums, leading up to Moon Music, their tenth studio LP. There have been pop hits, dips into EDM, and even a team-up with supergroup BTS. 

All of those roads have led them here, to a place where Martin feels comfortable saying Coldplay has only two more albums left after this. (He and his bandmates have been saying as much for several years now. In 2022, Martin explained, “I think we’ll keep touring and we’ll always be together as a group of musicians and friends. But I think the story of our albums ends then.”)

About those last two albums: Right now he thinks they’ll include a musical and a “raw and simple” record. “By the time we finish album 12, which is the end, it will all make sense,” he says. “So if it doesn’t sound like Coldplay right now, don’t worry, because it will eventually.”
