Singles from Everyday Life
  1. "Orphans" / "Arabesque"
    Released: 24 October 2019 (2019-10-24)

Everyday Life is the eighth studio album by British rock band Coldplay. It was released on 22 November 2019 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in the United States. It is a double album released as a single CD, with the first half titled Sunrise and the other Sunset (similar to X&Y, which is split into an "X" half and a "Y" half).[2] The release coincided with Coldplay: Everyday Life – Live in Jordan, in which performances of each half of the album were live streamed from the Citadel in Amman, Jordan, at sunrise and sunset, respectively.[3] Many returning producers and collaborators joined the band's efforts including "The Dream Team" (Rik Simpson, Dan Green, Bill Rahko), Davide Rossi, and Emily Lazar.[4][5]

Speculation about the album's existence persisted since their previous record, A Head Full of Dreams, as rumours circulated that Coldplay would disband. It is the first album by the band to feature profanity (on the tracks "Trouble in Town", "Arabesque" and "Guns"), being also their second studio album to not be supported by a major worldwide tour, the other being Ghost Stories (2014).[6][7]

Everyday Life received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its experimental alt rock direction, the shift to politically charged lyrics, and varied song styles in contrast to their old roots with albums like Parachutes and Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. However, others felt that the album lacked thematic consistency.[8][9] Commercially, Everyday Life earned the band their eighth consecutive number-one album on the UK Albums Chart and their seventh top-ten album on the Billboard 200 in the US.

The album was supported by four overall singles: "Orphans" and "Arabesque" in October 2019, "Everyday Life" in November 2019 and "Champion of the World" in February 2020.[10][11] At the 63rd Grammy Awards the album garnered two nominations: Best Recording Package and Album of the Year, being the band's second nomination in the latter category and their first since Viva la Vida.[12]

Recording[]

Some tracks from Everyday Life have roots a decade earlier in 2009, as producer Dan Green explains – "We actually started this album just before Mylo Xyloto in 2009, there were songs from this record that had been around since then which just didn’t fit on other albums. The single 'Arabesque' was one of those."[13] Rik Simpson, another longtime member of the production team, stated that this album differed in recording style compared to previous records because three members lived in the UK while lead singer Chris Martin lived in the US. The band hoped to travel somewhere to inspire the global sounds of Everyday Life rather than be holed up in a singular studio. Therefore, Dan Green created a mobile studio, inspired from jam sessions during their previous world tour, to be set up in various international locations. They include but are not limited to: Villa Tombolino in Tuscany, the Woodshed studios in Los Angeles, The Bakery and Beehive studios in London, and a studio in Johannesburg, South Africa. Travelling around the globe is reflected in the experimental mix of genre influences present on the record including classical, afrobeat, jazz-fusion, etc.[14][15] The album was recorded using Dolby Atmos technology and 5.1 versions are available on Tidal and Apple Music.[16]

Composition[]

Everyday Life is a considerable shift in musical experimentation compared to the band's previous albums, with critics deeming it their most experimental release.[17] Its release marks Coldplay's first double album, with the halves being titled Sunrise and Sunset respectively. The album includes a 30-second field recording of clock tower bells ringing the Westminster Quarters melody and spread across 8 tracks, entitled "God = Love", which serves as an interlude for each side of the album. The track titles spell the name of this section and are revealed when the CD is loaded into a computer.[18]

When compared to previous albums released by the band, the lyrics make a stark contrast: even though it still showcases many themes of positivity, equality, unity, hope, legacy, the importance of emotions, and humanity, it also includes racism, police brutality, gun control, loss and pain, plus references of war in terrorism-inflicted countries. The song "Trouble in Town" includes a sample from a 2013 incident involving racially-motivated profiling and harassment of a man by a Philadelphia police officer,[19] it is the first Coldplay song to feature profanity (although, it is the police officer in the sound recording who uses profanity rather than the track's lyrics), along "Arabesque" and "Guns" (which both feature profanity in their actual lyrics). Martin described the album saying that:

"Every day is great and every day is terrible … Everyday Life is our reaction to the perceived negativity that’s everywhere. And there is a lot of trouble, but there’s also so much positivity and so much great life happening. So in a way, it’s just trying to make sense of things, saying what we feel and what we see."

— Chris Martin, BBC Radio 1's Future Sounds interview October 24, 2019

Promotion[]

On 13 October 2019, black-and-white posters featuring the band teasing the album, and the date "22 November 1919" appeared in various cities around the world, including São Paulo, Berlin, Hong Kong and Sydney.[20] On 19 October, a video teaser featuring the same theme was also released.[21][22] Two days later, several fans began receiving typewritten notes from the band in the mail.[23]

dear friends / my typing isn't very good i'm sorry / I and we hope wherever you are you're ok / for the last 100 years or thereabouts we have been working on a thing called Everyday Life / in the classifieds you might write 'double album for sale, one very careful owner' / one half is called 'sunrise', the other 'sunset' / it comes out 22 november / it is sort of how we feel about things / we send much love to you from hibernation /سلام و حب / chris, jonny, guy and Will Champion, esq.

— Coldplay, in a typewritten note to their fans

On 23 October, the track listing was announced by the band in the advertising sections of several newspapers around the world. This included the North Wales Daily Post, where guitarist Jonny Buckland "once had a holiday job".[24] The 19 November edition of the New Zealand newspaper Otago Daily Times featured advertisements containing lyrics to the tracks from the album.[25]

Live performances[]

During an online press conference on 1 November, Coldplay announced they would perform Everyday Life in two shows at the Citadel in Amman, Jordan on 22 November, the release date of the album.[26] The first show showcased the band performing the first half of the album Sunrise at 4:00 a.m. GMT, and the second show featured the performance of Sunset at 2:00 p.m. GMT.[27] The shows, which were livestreamed on YouTube, marked the band's first ever performances in the country. Both shows were promoted and advertised as YouTube Originals. The two shows were performed without an audience, but the following night the band performed their first public show at the Citadel.[28] On 18 November, the band announced a one-off show at the London Natural History Museum on 25 November, with proceeds from the show to be donated to an environmental charity. However, the band announced that they would not play a world tour to promote the album until they had addressed concerns regarding travel and the environmental impact of the shows.[29]

Reimagined EP[]

On 21 February 2020, the band released an exclusive extended play for Apple Music.[30] It features stripped back versions of "Cry Cry Cry", "Broken" and "Champion of the World" performed by Martin and Buckland, along with a video of those performances. This release counts as Coldplay's fifteenth EP.

Singles[]

"Orphans" and "Arabesque" were released as the lead singles on 24 October 2019 during the Annie Mac show on BBC Radio 1.[31][32] On the next day, a music video for "Orphans" came out.[33] Its companion piece, "Arabesque", however, does not have one. "Everyday Life" was then released a promotional single on 3 November 2019,[34] with its video coming out on 9 December 2019 and the song being sent to United Kingdom and Italy's contemporary hit radio in the following weeks.[35]

Two days before the album's release, on 20 November 2019, a music video for "Daddy" and a lyric video for "Champion of the World" were released,[36] the latter was released as a promotional single to the United States' radio stations on 25 February 2020.[37] The "Cry Cry Cry" music video, which was co-directed by Chris' girlfriend Dakota Johnson, was released on 14 February 2020.[38] The "Trouble in Town" music video was released on 12 March 2020.[39]

Everyday Life received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 73 out of 100 based on 26 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", becoming the band's second highest-scored album on the website, behind A Rush of Blood to the Head.[41] Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Neil McCormick acclaimed the experimentation of the album, stating that Everyday Life "feels organic, analogue and playful as Coldplay dip into different musical genres", and further highlighted Martin's "golden gift for melody, almost simplistically direct lyrics and emotive crooning".[44] Chris DeVille of Stereogum considered that the album's experimentation and use of multiple genres worked "more often than not", and commended the band's "more nuanced" exploration of social issues, concluding that it was a "truly great album".[8] In her review for NME, Charlotte Krol claimed that the record "is proof that Coldplay are more adventurous than they're often given credit for", despite some of its songs being "sometimes more exciting in theory than in practice".[15]

Other reviewers were less enthusiastic about the album's experimentation. Although The Guardian's Alexis Petridis considered it a "laudable intention", he found the album "wildly uneven" and was critical of the "lyrical vagueness" of various songs dealing with "sociopolitical matters", but complimented "a couple of acoustic tracks with genuine emotional heft".[9] In the same vein, Adam White of The Independent described the album as a "valiant, if flawed, attempt to break from tradition" and a "fascinating, occasionally brilliant curio", but considered that the band were "still very much figuring out how to respond to a world that has become meaner, dirtier and crueller", nevertheless considering the effort admirable.[46] Ludovic Hunter-Tilney of the Financial Times found the album "platitudinising", but considered Martin's songwriting "more focused than usual"; he additionally noted the album's "quirky production" and balancing of "contradictory urges to play it safe and take a risk".[50]
