Coldplay have shared the music video for their single ‘feelslikeimfallinginlove‘ following their headlining set at Glastonbury 2024.
The band released the track early last week (June 21) which marked the first teaser of new music from the band since they announced details of their latest studio album ‘Moon Music’.
Directed by Ben Mor – who previously directed the band’s Beyoncé collab ‘Hym For The Weekend’ – the black and white music video stars actress, writer and storyteller, Natasha Ofili (The Politician) performing her own American Sign Language interpretation of the song.
The video also features the Deaf members of the Venezuelan Sign Language (LSV) section from El Sistema Venezuela’s Coro de Manos Blancas (White Hands Choir) a world-renowned performing arts ensemble from Barquisimeto, supported in collaboration with the Dudamel Foundation.
Towards the end, Coldplay are seen performing the song at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens, Greece in front of an audience who were invited via the band’s social media.
Coldplay’s 10th studio album, ‘Moon Music’ is set for release on October 4. You can pre-order the LP here.
It remains uncertain whether this album will be the last from Coldplay, as the band have previously hinted they would stop releasing albums in the year 2025. The rumour first emerged back in 2021, when the members told Jo Whiley that they were coming to the end of their time writing new material.
Frontman Chris Martin then shared a similar sentiment with NME in that same year, when he discussed how “intense” it can be to keep releasing new material.
“We’re going to make 12 albums. Because it’s a lot to pour everything into making them. I love it and it’s amazing, but it’s very intense too,” he said. “I feel like because I know that challenge is finite, making this music doesn’t feel difficult, it feels like, ‘This is what we’re supposed to be doing’.”
The release of the ‘feelslikeimfallinginlove‘ follows the band’s headlining performance on the Pyramid Stage at this year’s edition of Glastonbury.
In NME’s four-star review of their set at the annual Worthy Farm music bash, Andrew Trendell noted Martin’s words about the festival: “I look around and I see so many amazing wonderful people from all over the place, and that’s what makes Glastonbury the best city in the world in my opinion,” he offers, honouring “the most peace-loving, love-making people” that make up the Glasto populace. He admits that Coldplay have “stolen so much of the ethos of Glastonbury’s vision”, and as a result they become “a band of 100,004 people”.
He continued: “Will Coldplay top Glasto again? Five more times? Who knows? Martin revealed a few years back that the band planned to stop making music in 2025, telling NME they had a plan to make 12 albums; now number 10 ‘Moon Music’ is coming in October. There’s a question mark over the future, but tonight was a good crack at making history with a set that felt like home.”
In other news, Michael J. Fox responded to what he described as a “fucking mind blowing” appearance during Coldplay’s headlining set at Glastonbury.
Fox was a surprise guest during the encore on a night that also saw the band bring out an array of guests including Little Simz, Femi Kuti, Victoria Canal and Laura Mvula.
Elsewhere, fans took to social media to react to Martin’s apparent accent change during the band’s performance.
