Coldplay’s as-yet-untitled fifth album will see the band’s first new material since 2009’s ‘Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends’.

Meanwhile, the band have admitted to the influence of Mystic’s ‘Ritmo de la Noche’ upon ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’, according to the Huffington Post. A spokesperson for the band said that they insisted on crediting the song’s writers. They said: “Allen and Anderson [writers of ‘Ritmo’] are credited as writers on ‘Every Teardop Is A Waterfall’. Chris was inspired to write the song after watching the film Biutiful by Alejandro González Iñárritu. In the film, there is a nightclub scene in which a track [‘Ritmo de la Noche’] is playing in the background, based on [Peter Allen’s song] ‘I Go To Rio’.”
