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 collaborator, along with Burna Boy, Little Simz, Elyanna, Tini and Ayra Starr. In anticipation for Moon Music, Coldplay released the singles "Feels Like I'm Falling in Love" and "We Pray". The third and final effort, "All My Love", was made available on the same day as the album. The band is supporting both records from the Music of the Spheres project on their 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, it debuted atop the UK Albums Chart with 236,796 units, becoming Coldplay's 10th number-one record and the fastest-selling release of the decade by a group. It also led the US Billboard 200, marking the first time a British band topped both rankings simultaneously since 2016. Other countries where the album reached number-one include Australia, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden.
