Coldplay 'use more colours' on new album

Chris Martin has claimed that Coldplay have "started to use more colours" on their new album.

The singer said that the band's fourth LP may turn off some fans, but claimed the group have realised they can't always please "everyone".

Martin told Rolling Stone: "Whether or not it's good, we certainly started to use more colours. It's impossible to please everybody, and it took us a while to learn that.

"It's just the freedom to say, 'Everyone might not like this. We're into it at the moment, so let's just get it done'."

Guitarist Jonny Buckland said: "We felt like the first three albums were a trilogy, and we finished that. So we wanted to do something different."

Talking about Brian Eno's involvement as producer, Buckland added: "It wasn't so much that he brings like a sound or something to it. He brings lots of ideas about everything, even down to like how we structured our day."

It was reported earlier this week that the band are putting the finishing touches to their fourth studio album, which is expected to be called Prospekt.

Featuring tracks called 'Cemeteries of London', 'Reign Of Love', 'Life In Technicolor' and 'Death and All His Friends', it is due to be released in May.
