Coldplay's sixth album, Ghost Stories, is a spiritually driven album that revolves around two major themes mentioned by lead singer Chris Martin. The album explores the idea of past actions, and the effects they can have on your future and one's capacity for unconditional Love.

Hiring Brian Eno to produce the bulk of their fourth album, Viva la Vida, is another matter entirely. Eno pushes them, not necessarily to experiment but rather to focus and refine, to not leave their comfort zone but to find some tremulous discomfort within it. In his hands, this most staid of bands looks to shake things up, albeit politely, but such good manners are so inherent to Coldplay's DNA that they remain courteous even when they experiment. They wind up with the same self-styled grandiosity; they've just found a more interesting way to get to the same point.

Their fifth album, Mylo Xyloto, is as quintessentially Coldplay as anyone could imagine. While entering their second decade together – it came as no surprise they carved a zeitgeist-y, big-statement album of their own. On Mylo Xyloto, the choruses are bigger, the textures grander, the optimism more optimistic. It’s a bear-hug record for a bear-market world.

Grammy Award-winning alternative band Coldplay have returned with their new album "A Head Full Of Dreams." The album was produced by Norwegian duo Stargate together with the band’s long-time collaborator Rik Simpson. It features Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo and Merry Clayton among those appearing across its 11 tracks (2 x 180 Gram coloured vinyls - 1 blue & 1 pink))

This inventive eighth a double-album is proof that Coldplay are more adventurous than they're often given credit for. Chris Martin and co. take on heady themes of love, war, racism, faith, gun control, friendship, climate change, police brutality and more.

Cold Fact is the debut album from singer-songwriter Rodriguez. In 1998 Cold Fact was awarded a platinum disc in South Africa, and was five-times platinum in Australia. Rodriguez has since toured South Africa and Australia with much success, but remained relatively unknown in his native country of the US. This began to change after the reissues of his albums in the US by Light in the Attic Records in 2008 and 2009, and even further in 2012 with the Academy Award winning documentary film Searching for Sugar Man, which soon led to appearances on major American television shows like 60 Minutes and The Late Show with David Letterman.
