Coldplay have released the latest single from new album ‘Moon Music’ in the form of ‘We Pray’, featuring Burna Boy, Little Simz, Elyanna and Tini – check it out below.

Last week, the band confirmed the tracklist for their upcoming 10th studio album, which will be released on October 4 (pre-order it here). The band had already shared the lead single ‘feelslikeimfallinginlove’ last month and have also previewed another track ‘Good Feelings’ on stage in Rome.

At the same time, they shared a snippet of another new song ‘We Pray’, and now that song is available in full, complete with its guest appearances. Listen to the track here:

As well as big hitters Burna Boy and Little Simz, the track is also a showcase for Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna and the Argentine artist Tini, and the band gave the song its live debut during their headline set at Glastonbury 2024 in June, with Simz and Elyanna alongside them.

In a four-star review of that record-breaking return to Worthy Farm, NME wrote: “With a run of guest turns, some dad banter and an emotional Michael J. Fox collab, Chris Martin and co. reach to make their fifth headline set one for the books.”

“Will Coldplay top Glasto again? Five more times? Who knows? Martin revealed a few years back that the band planned to stop making music in 2025, telling NME they had a plan to make 12 albums; now number 10 ‘Moon Music’ is coming in October. There’s a question mark over the future, but tonight was a good crack at making history with a set that felt like home.”

In other Coldplay news, Chris Martin and Maggie Rogers covered Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’ on stage in Vienna this week, after the latter’s ‘Eras’ tour concerts in the Austrian city were cancelled following a foiled terror plot.

“This is something we never do, but we have to do it today,” Martin said on Wednesday night (August 21). “Of course, we haven’t mentioned that Vienna was in the news all over the world for all the wrong reasons. But what reached us was the beauty and the togetherness and the kindness of all of Taylor Swift’s fans.”

It has also been recently confirmed that the band’s ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour is the highest-grossing rock tour of all time, grossing around $950million (£725million) and selling 8.8 million tickets since it launched in March 2022.

The tour has also been praised for “setting a new standard” when it comes to an eco-conscious approach to live music, thanks to a slew of sustainable initiatives introduced by the band.
