Martin’s deep space is mainly personal and romantic his HAL 9000 is a heart emoji. That unique level of thematic specificity notwithstanding, the record itself doesn’t get weighed down by any sort of Rush-size storyline, nor is there some pain-in-the-ass heavy-handed sci-fi message to deal with (beyond the predictably intimated vibes of harmony, wonder, etc.). As its title suggests, Music of the Spheres is a concept album about outer space, specifically a distant solar system called the Spheres it’s an almost unnervingly well-timed idea, arriving right on top of a new Dune movie and just a couple days after our Twitter feeds were all gummed up with whoa, dude images of William Shatner gazing out at our sad, salty world through the window of Jeff Bezos’ space penis. This time out they’ve gone even further, reaching for a humanism so universal it’s literally intergalactic. That LP attempted to add realist specifics and global sonics to their vaguely defined universal humanism, setting politically-tinged lyrics to music that filtered in West African pop and reggae elements. In some ways, Music of the Spheres picks up where the band’s last album, 2019’s Everyday Life, left off. Obviously, big gulps of redemption are what we’ve come to expect from Martin. “We’re only human, capable of kindness, so they call us humankind,” Martin sings on “Humankind” over a radiant haymaker of aspirant guitar churn, blindingly bright Eighties synth stabs, and upwardly mobile drum swirls - a sound so uplifting it makes or Bono or Bruce Springsteen at their most heroic sound like junior-high goths who just got their screen time taken away. Musically and lyrically, the band has rarely sounded so ecstatic. Once again, they’ve set up shop at the 50-yard line of pop-rock possibility, and in their eternally expansive vision, reimagined the middle of the road as a land of hope and dreams. Whenever we’re on tour, any of the kids that are around, we’ll drag them on stage for something or other.“You’ve got a higher power,” Chris Martin tells a brand new flame - and, by extension, each and every citizen of Earth - on Coldplay’s ninth album, adding, “I’m so happy I’m alive.” He may be literally the only person who feels that way in 2021, and that, of course, is part of the Coldplay magic, such as it is. “We really appreciate the Victorian times of young British children getting an honest day’s pay. “We’ve always kind of forced our children to work,” Chris joked to in January 2020. Not only is Moses growing up super fast, he also has quite a budding music career under his belt! Moses lent his vocals to his dad’s song “Humankind,” sang on “Orphans” from the Coldplay album Everyday Life, and has even performed live on stage with his pops. (Lensman / BACKGRID)Ĭhris and Moses were photographed spending quality time in Tulum, Mexico over the new year, and they were also spotted enjoying a day at the polo fields a few months back in the Pacific Palisades. Chris Martin and his son Moses grab breakfast in Malibu. The dad-son duo seem to be pretty tight, and go on frequent outings together. Chris wore a white shirt and cozy-looking white beanie over his short hair while Moses wore an edgier black hoodie, with his dirty blonde locks hanging over his eyes. It’s hard to believe the 15-year-old is nearly as tall as his dad, who is six feet one and used to tower over his son a short time ago! While they are twinning in height, they sported slightly different styles. Chris Martin and his son Moses Martin looked cute during their casual outing for breakfast in Malibu on January 23.
