Background[]

The trademark Los Unidades was filed by Coldplay in late 2017.[2][3]

For hundreds of years, we have witnessed the power of music in bringing people together to drive activism and demand change......we are thrilled to release Global Citizen EP 1 with new songs from these incredible artists who stand with us in the fight to defeat extreme poverty, and we are extremely grateful to Dave Holmes, Parlophone Records and Atlantic Records for their dedicated partnership and support as we demand to see an end to extreme poverty by 2030.

— Hugh Evans, CEO of Global Citizen
