Everyday Life is the upcoming eighth studio album by Coldplay, scheduled to be released on 22 November 2019. It is set to be a double album, with the first half titled Sunrise and the other Sunset.[1]
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.[2] On 19 October, a video teaser featuring the same theme was also released.[3][4] Two days later, several fans began receiving typewritten notes from the band in the mail.[5]
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, after much speculation, the track listing was announced by the band in the advertising sections of several different newspapers around the world. This included the North Wales Daily Post, where guitarist Jonny Buckland "once had a holiday job".[6]
Singles
"Orphans" and "Arabesque" were released as the album's lead singles on 24 October 2019 on the Annie Mac show on BBC Radio 1.[7][8]
"Everyday Life" was released as the album's third single on 3 November 2019.
