Coldplay's tenth album "Moon music" is coming in a few days. The band has set its own limit at twelve. Then there will be no more. The reason is that the group does not want to compromise on quality and release bad music, explains Chris Martin in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music.
It's for real, since "less is more". And for many of our critics, even more "less" would be better, says Chris Martin amused.
Coldplay's singer compares with the Harry Potter books that stopped at seven and his house gods Beatles and Bob Marley.
There are only twelve and a half Beatles albums. It's roughly the same with Bob Marley, our heroes.
He calls it a kind of quality requirement that makes the group's records better.
When we have that limitation, the quality requirement becomes high, which makes it almost impossible for a song to come along, which is great.
But it does not mean that Coldplay will stop playing together after the twelfth album.
It will probably become something different, or a side project. Or we'll take on something we haven't finished, says Chris Martin.
