It’s Not The End After All: Coldplay Are Releasing A New EP Called ‘Kaleidoscope’
Chris Martin has been fibbing left, right and centre.
It’s a good day to be a fan of Coldplay, the band. Despite it being widely thought that Coldplay had chucked this whole ‘selling out stadiums all the time’ gig out the window, Chris Martin, the singer, has now confirmed that the group will be making more new music.
Taking to Twitter, Chris Martin tweeted from Coldplay’s account to say: “Hello everyone, we're working on some new songs for next year. It's called the Kaleidoscope ep. We hope you're well, love cm #KaleidoscopeEP”

After the release of A Head Full of Dreams in 2015, it was assumed that Coldplay had finished up. Chris Martin had told Zane Lowe back in 2014 that the group’s seventh album would be their last, telling the former Radio 1 DJ that “this is the completion of something.”
But, clearly, Chris bloody Martin was pulling all of our collective legs. He’s a ruddy fibber, that Chris Martin. He’s officially pop’s biggest fibber.
Coldplay continue onwards. The Kaleidoscope EP will be released in 2017.
Searching for the water hoping for the rain
Up and up, up and up
Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal
Waiting for a chance to pick your orange field
Up and up, up and up
See a pearl form, a diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
It's in your blood, it's in your blood
Underneath the storm an umbrella is saying
"Sitting with the poison takes away the pain"
Up and up, up and up it's saying
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
I'm gonna get it, get it together somehow
We're gonna get it, get it together and flower
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
We're gonna get it, get it together and flow
I'm gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Up and up, up and up
How come people suffer, how come people part?
How come people struggle, how come people break your heart?
Break your heart, ohh
Yes I want to grow, yes I want to feel
Yes I want to know, show me how to heal it up
Heal it up
See the forest there in every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Just need love just need love
When the going is rough saying
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
I'm gonna get it, get it together somehow
We're gonna get it, get it together and flower
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
We're gonna get it, get it together and flow
I'm gonna get it, get it together and go
And you can say what is, or fight for it
Close your mind or take a risk
You can say it's mine and clench your fist
Or see each sunrise as a gift
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
I'm gonna get it, get it together somehow
We're gonna get it, get it together and flower
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
We're gonna get it, get it together and flow
I'm gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
I'm gonna get it, get it together somehow
We're gonna get it, get it together and flower
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
We're gonna get it, get it together and flow
I'm gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
Fixing up a car to drive in it again
When you're in pain
When you think you've had enough
Don't ever give up
Don't ever give up
‘Kaleidoscope’ was actually the name of a short track on the band’s A Head Full of Dreams, and that song featured a sample of President Barack Obama singing ‘Amazing Grace’. Well they weren’t exactly going to sample a British politician, were they? Coldplay just weren’t going to sample David Cameron forgetting which football team he supports, or, had the album been released this year, Theresa May saying “Brexit means Brexit” over and over, were they? No, they weren’t. Because that would be silly. And would make for bad pop music. It would be the pop crime of the century. It would be a pop crime worthy of life imprisonment with no trial necessary.
Will the new EP, being released in 2017 when president-elect Donald Trump will replace Obama, feature the former reality TV star as a sample? We really, really hope not.
