![]() ![]() “ For a long, long time I've been begging the band, "Please could someone else start a song"! I've been given that gift from the universe, or from God or whatever you want to believe in that ideas for songs get sent through wherever they get sent from, and then I take them to the rest of the band and then we layer it up and that's how we do it. For example, " Magic" was built off a bass riff originally conceived by bassist Guy Berryman in the studio. Chris invited the band to contribute original songwriting material for the album, as opposed to building songs off Martin's ideas as they had done during previous recording sessions. The band took a different approach for their sixth studio album in contrast to their previous studio albums. The creation of the album actually started at Guy's house in London in early 2013 where he had settled a little studio where everyone gathered to jam and try some new music during a break after the band's big tour for Mylo Xyloto. The creative process and recording sessions for the band's sixth studio album took place between 2013 and early 2014, at their purpose-built studios The Bakery and The Beehive in North London, England, then in Los Angeles for the final process. At the time he said that, I didn't really know what that meant, but I trusted that it would work, and the more that I was learning about that, the more music just started flowing through. I was very lucky to meet a very good sufi teacher who started to introduce the idea of "if you sit with your experiences and the things you've been through, they alchemize. The idea of Ghost Stories, for me, was how do you let the things that happen to you in the past – your ghosts – how do you let them affect your present and your future? Because there was a time when I was feeling like they were going to drag me down and ruin my life, and the lives of those around me. The album explores the idea of past actions, and the effects they can have on your future and one's capacity for unconditional Love. Ghost Stories is a spiritually driven album that revolves around two major themes mentioned by lead singer Chris Martin. Going into the creative process for their sixth studio album, the band wanted to return to the "stripped-down, more acoustic collection" they had stated their fifth album would be, returning to the original idea of an acoustic-oriented album, with less of the production and sound that made Mylo Xyloto. Coldplay's subsequent world tour in promotion of Mylo Xyloto visited North America, Europe, Australasia and Africa, raising $99.7 million in revenue. Mylo Xyloto had also sold 8 million copies within the first year of release. Coldplay's 2011 single, " Paradise", became the band's second UK number-one single after 2008's " Viva la Vida". Originally conceived by the band as a "stripped-down, more acoustic collection", it became one of Coldplay's most experimental and pop-oriented records to date, being described as "luxuriously colourful" where "the choruses are bigger, the textures grander and the optimism more optimistic." Produced by Markus Dravs, Brian Eno, Rik Simpson and Daniel Green, the album peaked at number one on 18 national album charts and was certified Platinum in 16 different countries. In 2011, Coldplay released their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto. It was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 57th Grammy Awards. GHOST STORIES COLDPLAY ALBUM FULLThe album was further promoted by three singles: " Magic", the lead single, released in March " A Sky Full of Stars", released in May and " True Love", released in August. This was due to the personal turmoil Chris Martin experienced from seperating from his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. This album was quiter with a more ambient sound. Although the album had the band experimenting with electronic music, like on Mylo Xyloto, that album was more upbeat. It was heavily promoted by the band and Parlophone in the lead-up to its release, with an accompanying prime time TV special, a visual album, and a special six-date promotional tour of the album, as well as various appearances on television and radio. It features guest producers Avicii, Timbaland and Madeon, and the band's frequent collaborator Jon Hopkins. The album was recorded by the band throughout 20 at the band's purpose-built home studios in London, England, and in Los Angeles. It is the first album by the band in North America under Atlantic, after Coldplay were transferred from Capitol Records in 2013, following the purchase of EMI and its assets by the Universal Music Group in 2012. The album was released by Atlantic Records in North America on. Co-produced by the band with Paul Epworth along with returning Mylo Xyloto producers Daniel Green and Rik Simpson, it was released by Parlophone on.
