Coldplay: New album “Moon Music” vinyl record made from old plastic bottles | Coldplay

Coldplay are aiming to create the most environmentally friendly vinyl record ever with their newly released album, “Moon Music.”

The 140-gram vinyl version of “Moon Music,” due for release on October 4, will be made from nine plastic bottles collected from post-consumer waste, and in a special “notebook edition,” 70 percent of the plastic will be collected by the environmental organization Ocean Cleanup in Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala, to prevent it from ending up in the Gulf of Honduras and the Atlantic Ocean.

The band says this reduces carbon emissions by 85% compared to regular 140-gram vinyl production and avoids the production of 25 tonnes of virgin plastic, while the CD copies will be made from 90% recycled plastic, reducing emissions by 78% compared to traditional CD manufacturing.

The initiative comes alongside Coldplay's attempts to reduce the environmental impact of touring, with the band currently continuing their epic 'Music of the Spheres' world tour, the third highest grossing in history.

Earlier this month the band announced they had reduced their carbon footprint by 59% compared to their last world tour, avoiding air travel where possible and introducing ingenious technological solutions such as a “kinetic dance floor” that harnesses energy from the movement of the audience.

Moon Music marks Coldplay's tenth album in a discography dating back to their debut, Parachutes, in 2000. They reteam with Max Martin, one of the greatest pop producers of all time, who produced their previous album, Music of the Sphere, and has been responsible for 27 US number one hits.

Moon Music's first single, “Feels Like Im Falling In Love,” will be released on Friday, June 21st. The song will likely be performed at Glastonbury Festival's main event on June 29th.

Other artists are also trying to reduce the environmental impact of vinyl production, like Billie Eilish, who used recycled vinyl made from off-cuts from traditional vinyl production for her recent album release, “Hit Me Hard and Soft.”

In a March interview with Billboard, Eilish said she was “among the biggest artists in the world.” [are] “They're making 40 different unique plastic packages, each one with something different inside, just to get customers to buy more. So wasteful,” she later added on Instagram, “I'm not trying to single anyone out. This is a systemic problem across the industry.”

Maine man speaks out after wife is pulled into quicksand up to her waist: “She couldn't get her legs free”

A Maine woman had a shocking experience while walking along the water's edge on the New England coast, but luckily she wasn't alone when it happened.

Jamie Acord was sunbathing at Popham Beach State Park in Phippsburg when she found herself waist-deep in sand.

Her husband, Patrick Acord, 38, said he was walking alongside his wife when she fell about 2.5 feet into quicksand.

“My wife fell almost instantly,” he told Fox News Digital in an email. “It only took a few seconds for me to pull her up once she realized her legs wouldn't come out on their own.”

While a person getting stuck in quicksand may sound like something from a movie, it actually happens in real life.

“Sand movement caused by beach dynamics is having a dramatic impact on Popham Beach, causing extreme shoreline changes and dune erosion,” according to an article posted online by the Maine Department of Agriculture and Forestry.

Jamie Acord had been picking up trash on the beach and had his hands full when he began to sink, according to the Associated Press.

“I can't get out!” she yelled at her husband, Patrick, according to the Associated Press.

Patrick Acord jumped into action and pulled his wife out of the sandpit within seconds as the sand started to flow back in.

According to an article published by Live Science, quicksand is a mixture of fine sand, clay, and saltwater.

According to National Geographic, quicksand has a density of about 2 grams per milliliter, compared to a human's density of about 1 gram per milliliter. “At this level of density, it's impossible to sink in quicksand — you'd sink up to your waist, but no more,” the online magazine continues.

“People who get trapped in saturated sand remain buoyant. They can't sink in quicksand, so they can float and wriggle their way to safety,” Jim Britt, a spokesman for conservation and forestry for the Maine Department of Agriculture, told The Associated Press.

Patrick Acord said he and Jamie spoke with park rangers after the incident.

“We've had a few similar complaints, but never anything this deep before, and they've typically occurred in areas where the sand is often saturated, such as near the mouth of a river that flows out next to the coast,” Patrick Acord told Fox News Digital.

Thankfully, Jamie Acord escaped the terrifying experience with just a few small scratches on the tops and bottoms of her feet, Patrick Acord said.

Visitors to Popham Beach are now encouraged to speak with state park staff to learn the latest updates on local conditions and additional safety tips, “which can be especially helpful if visitors are unfamiliar with the area or if conditions have recently changed,” FOX Weather reported.

Scooter Braun officially retires from artist management – Music News

Scooter Braun has announced his retirement from artist management.

The music mogul announced on Instagram on Monday that he's retiring from managing artists, two years after unofficially stepping down from managing some of the industry's biggest stars, including Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber.

“23 years. That's how many years I've been a music manager,” Brown said in a statement. “My journey began 23 years ago as a 19-year-old in Atlanta, Georgia, managing an artist named Kate.”

The entrepreneur explained that he was focused on being a father to three children he has with ex-wife Yael Cohen and his role as CEO of entertainment and media company HYBE America, saying he was “a father first, a CEO second and I'm no longer a manager.”

Brown added that as a manager he has to respond to calls from clients all the time, which affects his personal life.

“But as my children grew and my personal life took its toll, I realized they were three superstars I didn't want to lose,” he wrote. “The sacrifices I was once willing to make could no longer be justified. It was time to step into a new role.”

He also said that working with Justin and Ariana was one of his “greatest honors.”

“It has forever been my greatest honor to watch Justin grow from a 13-year-old boy performing on the streets of Canada to the legends he is today as Ariana, a Nickelodeon starlet,” he wrote. “While our working relationship has changed, I continue to support them with the same passion as when they first began. I remember their shenanigans with Justin, their water park shows, and my excitement sidestage when Ari opened for her first arena tour.”

The announcement comes nearly a year after several artists, including Ariana, Justin and Demi Lovato, reportedly cut ties with the music executive.

Sugababes aren't worried about AI in the music industry because it has no soul – Music News

Sugababes aren't worried about AI's impact on the music industry.

The girl group, comprised of Siobhan Donaghy, 40, Mutia Buena, 39, and Keisha Buchanan, 39, aren't concerned about the impact AI might have on songwriters and performers because they believe the technology lacks the “heart and soul” that makes music special.

“I haven't really thought about it much. I just feel like we're just dealing with it. And I know some people are thinking about it but…” Mutiah told BANG Showbiz in an exclusive interview at the Capital Summertime Ball with BarclaysCard.

Then Siobhan chimed in: “I’ve heard that some people use it in writing rooms, and some people try it, but it’s not for us.

“It felt like I heard an AI version of us. Other people have said they could hear our voices in it, but to me, it just felt really unnatural. I didn't hear a heart or a soul, but I'm not worried about that at all.”

The trio, all of whose members had left the group before reforming in 2011, reflected on their “really amazing” time playing together again, and stressed that the group remains fully focused on releasing new music.

When asked what Sugababes accomplished this year that she was most proud of, Mutia replied, “I think it was being able to go on tour with the band and perform in front of all our fans.”

Siobhan added: “Only two weeks until Glastonbury!”

“It's really unbelievable because when we decided to get back together, of course we wanted to celebrate the hits, but we also just wanted to pursue our music careers again and make albums and stuff.

“We've been doing that all summer and I'm happy to be one of the people putting out music because I know not everyone gets the opportunity.”

The Sugababes took to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium on Sunday (June 16, 2024) to a sold-out crowd, with Keyshia later describing the experience as “amazing.”

Meghan Trainor dreams of collaborating with Rihanna – Music News

Meghan Trainor said that Rihanna is the artist she would most like to collaborate with.

The 30-year-old singer, who has three-year-old son Riley and 11-month-old son Barry with husband Daryl Sabara, said she would love to work with the “Umbrella” hitmaker in the future and that her experience as a mother would help the pair bond better.

She told media gathered at the Capital Summertime Ball with Barclays Card: ” [I] I love her, she's perfect… We both have boys so it's the same.”

Megan released her sixth album, Timeless, earlier this month and is currently preparing to embark on the promotional tour for the album, but will be enjoying a few weeks off in July.

Appearing at the pop extravaganza at London's Wembley Stadium, Meghan said: “I've been promoting my album Timeless non-stop so when I get home I'm going to have a bit of a break. People say I'm off in July but that's a joke. Then tour rehearsals start in August and I'll be on the road through September and October.”

The Timeless Tour marks the “All About That Bass” hitmaker's first tour since 2016, and she joked that she feels like she's “training for the Olympics.”

She recently said: “I feel great. I've never felt this good before. I've already told my family. I'm like, 'I'm training for the Olympics, OK?'”

“I want to work out, eat healthy and feel good when I dance and sing. I don't want to be out of breath, because right now I am!”

Missy Elliott talks upcoming tour and unreleased music

Courtesy of Derek Blanks

It's hard to believe, but Missy Elliott has never gone on a solo headlining tour — the last time she toured regularly was with Beyoncé in promotion of her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, and with Alicia Keys and Tamia on the Verizon Ladies First Tour in 2004.

“I just thought it was about time,” Elliott told Variety about Out of This World – The Missy Elliott Experience, which kicks off in Vancouver on July 4. “It's the right time, especially for fans of my generation who haven't had the chance to see me do a headline tour, but also the new generation.”

Though the iconic multi-artist hasn't released a solo album since 2005's “The Cookbook,” she's made a huge impact on pop music in the decades since. Everywhere you look, you'll find hints of Elliott's singular, reality-subverting art and music that permeates contemporary culture. Aside from her somewhat sporadic output (guest appearances, a jaw-dropping performance at the MTV Video Music Awards), Elliott continues to inspire fans who've been captivating her since 1997's “Supa Dupa Fly,” as well as legions of younger fans who first discovered her music on social media.

A headline tour at this point is a natural peak in a series of milestones for Elliott. She's riding high on her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductions; plus, her hometown of Portsmouth, Virginia, has a street named after her. With Out of This World, it felt right to spread her magic across the country, alongside frequent career collaborators Busta Rhymes and Ciara, and longtime buddy Timbaland. It's been years since Elliott released a full-length album, but it only feels right to bring players into the world she's built, bringing them to life one arena show at a time.

Elliott, 52, is currently working on whittling down the dozens of hits she's released as a solo artist or written and produced for other artists for her upcoming tour—perhaps including some crossovers with Rimes, who opens and closes “Supa Dupa Fly,” and Ciara, who's always been around Elliott (and vice versa). But for now, she's reflecting on the work that got her here and what it takes to translate that into a regular live show.

This is your first headlining tour ever, so the question is, why now?

Well, I had opportunities before and I was busy producing other artists and writing songs. Then one day, all of a sudden, I wanted to go on tour. Of course, my team thought I was just playing around. But the next day, my manager called me and asked me, are you sure? Was what I said a joke? No, I want to go on tour, I'm serious this time.

For you, what is the difference between being a headliner and being part of the larger Vision tour that you co-star in?

Yeah, this is definitely a different vibe because now it's a big question of what to do because I'm the headliner. But it's fun. I really feel like a kid in a candy store. So I'm trying to bring it all out on stage. But we have Busta and Ciara. I'm really looking forward to it because I didn't just pick who's hot right now. They're just hot because they have so many timeless hits. But I wanted that energy to match my energy, so I trust that everyone has the same energy. It's you and me dancing the whole time.

Naturally, you mention Ciara, Busta and Timbaland – you've collaborated with these artists multiple times throughout your career – are there plans for any crossovers between sets?

It's very possible. You never know. I would love for you all to come and see it. Trust me, I try not to tell you how great it will be. But it's possible. Yes. [Laughs]

You've been performing crowd-pleasing performances at award shows for the past few years, but embarking on a headlining tour is a different story – what's it like condensing your discography into a tight setlist?

It's been hard. That's probably the hardest part, because all day long, people are tweeting under my posts saying, “I want you to release this record.” We're all going to be onstage for five hours! So I'm trying to mix things up to please everybody, but I know it's impossible. But I'm getting close.

Are you planning on including songs from before “Supa Dupa Fly,” such as songs by Fayze or Sista?

Oh, no, if we go back that far, definitely, if we go back that far, you'll be coming back all week. You'll be coming back every day for a week. So, no, we're definitely going to start with “Rain.” We'll be given that information. We'll start there.

June 22nd marks the 25th anniversary of “Da Real World.” Do you remember working with Timbaland? That album seemed like the future then, and it still seems like the future now. How do you feel looking back on it?

That album was stressful. [Laughs] That was the most stressful album for me. And I came to appreciate that album later on. If you know about album timing and second albums, you would call it the second album jinx. Especially if your first album is successful, it's stressful because you're chasing that first one. So that album was a success for me. So I was trying to find something bigger visually and sonically than “The Rain.” Looking back after so many years, that was probably one of the most creative albums. [periods] It was hip-hop mixed with theatricality. When you listen to the songs, there's a lot of strings. I don't want to say dark strings, but very theatrical, dramatic strings. It reminds me of the album “All N My Grill” with Redman…

“Dangerous mouth.”

See! You know that better than me! So all of that…even the breakdown in “She's a Bitch”…it was all so dramatic. So that album stands as one of my best albums. It was stressful at the time, but looking back, yeah, we were in the pocket, in a different kind of pocket, still hip-hop but still theatrical, so blending the two was great.

For years you guys have been teasing “Block Party.” In 2019 you released the “Iconology” EP. Last year Tim said you guys were gearing up and hoping for an album to be released in the summer. So the question people always ask you is “how is it going?”

Well, I don't know. It's like this [tour] It just came out of nowhere. We've been talking about “The Rain” for years, and it's been 27 years. And now I'm going on tour. It's one of those things I think about with music. You never know when I'm going to decide, “Okay, now is the time to put out a whole album.”

How much music do you think you've accumulated as a solo record since “The Cookbook”?

Oh my goodness. [Laughs] Can you imagine someone like Prince answering that question? I can probably speak for a lot of those types of people, songwriters and producers, that they're always recording. So I think at this point I have at least six albums' worth of music.

Miss… come on!

Yeah. Tim always says to me, “What are you waiting for? So what are you waiting for?” And I'm like, “I don't know.” But yeah, I believe there will come a day where everybody's just going on their own path, and everybody's just going to look online and see my album release date. So yeah, I think it's going to happen sooner or later.

You've been in the industry for decades, released so many amazing albums, and accomplished so much, have you ever had the time to stop and reflect on your accomplishments, take a step back and look at what you've accomplished and see it objectively, or are you still blown away by it?

Wow. I've been telling people this. I'm starting to realize those things now. Sometimes I feel like, wow, I've been in this industry a long time, and now, okay, maybe I'm building a legacy here. Maybe I have a lot going for me, and I think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is definitely the icing on the cake. All of those things, a lot of things that I've been sitting and reflecting on. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, having a boulevard named after me. All of these different things. But I've been running for most of my career, if I wasn't making records for myself, I was making records for other artists, so I just kept on running without even thinking about those things. And now I can. My cousin slammed me the other day and was like, “I'm in LA, I'm on my way to see your star!” And it makes me happy when he's like, “We're so proud of you!” Because it was one of my cousin's houses that I used to clean. I used to clean his house, and now he's like, “You can come clean my house whenever you feel like it!”

NewJeans releases Powerpuff Girls-themed music video for “Right Now”

Sugar, spice and all things nice

The record was released as the B-side to the pop group's next single, “Supernatural,” both of which were recorded in Japanese.

Sweetness, spice, and everything nice is packed into the vibrant music video for powerhouse girl group New Jeans' latest release, “Right Now.” The record comes as a precursor to their upcoming single and mini-album, “Supernatural,” in which the five-piece perform in Japanese.

Directed by Youngeum Lee and collaborating with Murakami Takashi, the video sees New Jeans and its animated characters mixing ingredients to create the perfect concoction to heal Hani's broken heart. At the start of the video, the singer takes the courageous first step by asking her crush to go to the movies, but when she receives only flower emojis in response, the group embarks on a joint mission to decipher what the cluster of colors means.

“Your chance is here right now,” Nu Jeans warn in the song's second verse, a reminder of the importance of time when it comes to love. At the end of the video, when Hanni's crush double texts her to explain that the flower message was a coincidence, the scene ends with the terrifying three dots appearing to indicate the other person is still typing. The cliffhanger ending sets up possibilities for Supernatural, which hits theaters June 21.

Since their debut in 2022, New Jeans has been expanding their musical palette with each new music release. Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2023 about their EP “Get Up,” which also features famous icons from The Powerpuff Girls, Hanni said, “All of our new songs are…fresh. Compared to our previous releases, this new mini-album definitely offers more diversity, not just in the genre of music and dance style, but in what we're trying to represent and show you guys.”

She added: “I think we're venturing into musical territory that hasn't really been experimented with or attempted before.”

Ariana Grande teases deluxe version of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' – Music News

Ariana Grande has announced that she will soon be releasing a deluxe version of her new album, 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.'

The 7 Rings hitmaker revealed on Monday's Podcrushed podcast that he's been in the studio writing new songs since releasing his seventh studio album in March, and that he's considering releasing the new songs as a deluxe edition.

“I've been doing a bit of writing lately and hanging out in the studio,” she said, with host Penn Badgley urging her to “release some music.”

“I think I would,” she replied. “It's funny, I thought of it as just a very concise collection of work, and in my head I always thought of it as 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,' that album. But as time went on, I started to think, 'Oh, maybe I can bring in some new ideas.' So I went in to the studio the day after the Met Gala and stayed there for like 10 days, literally lived there.”

Ariana, who performed at the Met Gala in May, released “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” on March 8 and then released a surprise digital deluxe edition called “Slightly Deluxe” two days later. The deluxe edition includes four tracks: a remix of “Supernatural” with Troye Sivan, a remix of “Yes, And?” with Mariah Carey, an acoustic version of “Imperfect for You,” and an a cappella version of “True Story.”

During a podcast interview, the pop star hinted that the upcoming deluxe edition will feature all-new material.

“I've written a lot of songs, maybe more, and I'd like to do a deluxe version one day,” she continued. “I had the idea of ​​doing two mini albums or one big one, but I'm still undecided. I think I'll just do one and write some more smaller stuff and be done with that.”

Ariana recently featured Penn in the music video for “The Boy Is Mine,” the third single from her album.

Coldplay have announced that they will release their 10th studio album, Moonmusic, on October 4th. The album's first single, “Feels Like Im Falling In Love,” is set to be released this Friday. The album is produced by Max Martin, who has worked with everyone from Britney Spears and The Weeknd to Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. The album will be the group's first since 2021's Music of the Spheres.

Coldplay are one of the most environmentally conscious artists in music, and in a statement, the band committed to sustainability beyond their music. Alongside the sustainability measures on the band's current tour (which has so far generated 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour), the band have made significant efforts to make the physical release of Moon Music as sustainable as possible.

It is the world's first album to be released as a 140g Eco Record LP, with each copy made from nine recycled PET plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste, avoiding the production of over 25 tonnes of virgin plastic and reducing manufacturing process CO2 emissions/kg by 85% compared to traditional 140g vinyl.

Additionally, the band has teamed up with longtime partner Ocean Cleanup to create an additional format, the Notebook Edition EcoRecords LP. This edition's rPET is made from 70% river plastic recovered by Ocean Cleanup from the Rio Las Vacas in Guatemala and prevented from entering the Gulf of Honduras and the Atlantic Ocean. You can watch Ocean Cleanup's video on the process here.

The CD edition of Moon Music will be released on the world's first EcoCD, made from 90% recycled polycarbonate produced from post-consumer waste, reducing CO2/kg emissions by at least 78% and avoiding the production of over 5 tonnes of virgin plastic.

As part of our efforts to reduce waste, the first editions of Moon Music (both EcoRecord LP and EcoCD) will be strictly limited and produced to higher specifications than any future editions. All first edition EcoRecord LP products will be individually numbered.

Moon Music is currently available to pre-order in four physical formats, all clearly marked as First Edition, with all EcoRecord rPET LP products being individually numbered.
• Standard EcoCD
• Standard Eco Records LP
• Notebook EcoCD
• Notebook version Eco Record LP + Eco CD

The book is a replica of Chris Martin's original studio notebooks and features 28 pages of notes, lyrics and illustrations about the album's writing and recording process. The Notebook Edition also includes additional audio notes and demos from the album's recording sessions.
