Moon Music (full title Music of the Spheres Vol. II: Moon Music) is the tenth studio album by British rock band Coldplay.[2] Released on 4 October 2024 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in the United States, it serves as the second part of their Music of the Spheres project, the first being From Earth with Love (2021). Three editions of the album were released: Notebook, Tour and Full Moon. Each one has its own exclusive content, including voice memos, live sets, and bonus tracks.
Production was primarily handled by Bill Rahko, Dan Green, Michael Ilbert and Max Martin, with additional work by Jon Hopkins, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Oscar Holter and the Chainsmokers. Hopkins is also credited as a featured artist, along with Burna Boy, Little Simz, Elyanna, Tini and Ayra Starr. To promote Moon Music, Coldplay released the singles "Feelslikeimfallinginlove", "We Pray" and "All My Love", later complemented by a visual album called A Film for the Future. The band supported both albums from their Music of the Spheres project on the Music of the Spheres World Tour.[2]
Moon Music received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its melodies and overall style, but were critical of the lyrics. Commercially, the album peaked at number one in 16 countries, including the United Kingdom, where Coldplay achieved their 10th chart-topper and had the highest opening-week sales of the 2020s by a group — 236,796 units. It also topped the Billboard 200 in the United States with 120,000 units sold, marking the first time since 2016 that a British band went number one on both charts simultaneously.
