Last December, Coldplay‘s Chris Martin said that the band were at work on their “final” album, A Head Full of Dreams. Almost a year later, they’ve announced that the album will be out December 4 via Parlophone/Atlantic. It’s called A Head Full of Dreams, and it features several guests including Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo, and Merry Clayton. Below, hear the first single, “Adventure of a Lifetime”, and check out the art and tracklist. 

In last year’s interview with Zane Lowe, Martin compared the album—their seventh—to “the last Harry Potter book or something like that,” saying it’s “the completion of something.” He explained, “I have to think of it as the final thing we’re doing. Otherwise we wouldn’t put everything into it.”

Coldplay recorded the album in Malibu, L.A., and London with producers Stargate and Rik Simpson.

Update (11:25 a.m.): This morning, Coldplay appeared on BBC Radio 1, where they improvised three songs from some very boring text messages sent to the station. Watch that below.

On November 13, they’ll also livestream the first performances of some of the album’s songs through TIDAL. There won’t be a paywall on that.
