Coldplay promises ’best song yet’ - Mar 5 2007
Chris Martin said the group is working on a new album featuring what he called a quintessential song that everybody should hear "before we die".

The Coldplay lead singer was talking hours before the final concert of a Latin American tour that took them to Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.

The band said it plans to return to the studio after a two-year hiatus to record an album that will have a different sound from X&Y, which has sold more than two million copies since it was released in 2005.

"I think for a long time people felt like we were a band in black and white, and now we feel like because we have this incredible job, now we can do whatever we like and try all kinds of new things," Chris said.

He added that the record will include what could be Coldplay’s best song yet.

"In order for us to get excited about a new album, we have to have one song that we feel like everybody has to hear this song before we die, otherwise we’ll be terribly depressed," he revealed.

"So luckily with this new record we’re going to make, we have that one song."

"I can’t tell you about it, but it’s basically genius," he joked.

Gwyneth Paltrow has given birth to a baby boy - Arpil 11, 2006
The screen beauty and husband Chris Martin welcomed the new addition, who they have named Moses, into the world at the weekend. The star’s representative has confirmed the happy news. Her spokeswoman said: "Mum and baby are both doing well. I’m sure they are ecstatic."

Gwyneth, who already has a two-year-old daughter, Apple, has previously admitted she wants a big family. She recently said: "I would like to have a whole bunch of children. "I don’t mind girls or boys. My mother gets upset because I say I want all girls because Apple is so fabulous."

The ’Shakespeare In Love’ beauty also recently told fans she will not be working on any movies in the foreseeable future because of her commitment to being a good mum. She said: "With another baby on its way, I don’t think I will be doing a lot for the next year or so either. "Having Apple has changed everything for me. It’s changed the way I see the world - I feel like it’s even changed my DNA."
