Coldplay's Music of the Spheres, released on October 15, 2021, is the band's ninth studio album. Produced by Max Martin, the album explores themes of unity and the human experience through a cosmic lens. Each track represents a celestial body in a fictional planetary system called The Spheres, with unique languages and characteristics assigned to each.
The album features notable collaborations, including "Let Somebody Go" with Selena Gomez and the chart-topping "My Universe" with BTS. Musically, it blends pop, pop rock, synth-pop, and ambient elements, creating a soundscape that reflects its interstellar theme.
Music of the Spheres received mixed reviews from critics but was praised for its ambitious concept and production quality. Commercially, it performed well, topping charts in multiple countries and further solidifying Coldplay's presence in the global music scene.
