Over a decade and a couple of albums ago, Coldplay began to dive into a certain cosmic imagery, with albums in imaginary languages like “Mylo Xiloto” (2011), for which the production of expert Brian Eno worked especially well. Interestingly, on their ninth studio album Chris Martin’s band went into space, but replacing Eno with a more earthy producer like Max Martin (Martin’s pseudonym Karl Sandberg), the Scandinavian King Midas of pop music than in the last quarter century garnered hits from Britney Spears, Bon Jovi, Kate Perry, Taylor Swift and the Backstreet Boys. So this “Music of the Spheres” shows Coldplay in one of its less rocky versions, with a kind of elemental pop optimism and without too many sonic nuances, which doesn’t balance things much. There are numerous guests, like BTS in “My Universe” and Selena Gomez in the melancholic ballad “Let Somebody go”, plus a true gem that in the end redeems all this work, the genuinely cosmic “Coloratura”.
