Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin said Sunday his band is working on a new album featuring what he called a quintessential song that everybody should hear "before we die."
Martin and his band spoke hours before the final concert of a Latin American tour that took them to Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.
The band said it plans to return to the studio after a two-year hiatus to record an album that will have a different sound from "X&Y," which has sold more than 2 million copies since it was released in 2005.
"I think for a long time people felt like we were a band in black-and-white, and now we feel like because we have this incredible job, now we can do whatever we like and try all kinds of new things," Martin said.
He added that the record will include what could be Coldplay's best song yet.
"In order for us to get excited about a new album, we have to have one song that we feel like everybody has to hear ... before we die, otherwise we'll be terribly depressed," Martin said. "So luckily with this new record we're going to make, we have that one song."
"I can't tell you about it, but it's basically genius," he joked.

I use to like only one Coldplay song and grew tired of it. Though I respected the band and had nothing bad to say. Last year in January I found them at the right time. I like the band all right, and since I have all their cds I'll most likely get this one too.

Same here. I listened to their music a lot for a while, but I read something else that Chris said or did that really made me think of him as a knobhead. I try not to hold it against him though since he does do a lot of good work for Oxfam and the Make Trade Fair campaign, which I think is impressive. I'll definitely check out the new album.

sounds like they're taking a page from Tom Delonge's book.
