(This week the group announced it will return to the road in 2022 with a “dance floor that generates electricity when fans jump up and down,” as the BBC put it.) Thanks to the pandemic - and to Coldplay’s avowed commitment to figuring out how to travel in an environmentally sustainable fashion - “Everyday Life” also came and went without one of the band’s global stadium tours. So it’s not quite clear why the two Martins’ meet-up on “Spheres” is being viewed as especially brazen, except that the new album follows a relative bomb from Coldplay in 2019’s experimental “ Everyday Life,” which dabbled in African and Middle Eastern music and failed to spin off any monster singles.
And soon enough they were recruiting folks from beyond their guitar-band milieu: Rihanna for “ Princess of China,” Avicii for “ A Sky Full of Stars,” the gosh-darn Chainsmokers for “ Something Just Like This,” which remains Coldplay’s most-streamed track on Spotify with more than 1.6 billion plays.
