EL was created to reflect personal and global life through music and emotion. It’s not an album designed to appease crowded stadiums, but to narrate the state of the world and touch on a little bit of a human “everyday life”. (“Arabesque” would SLAP in a stadium though

Coldplay quietly released this album which encapsulates a handful of genres they’ve never officially done, and they did a marvelous job in doing so. Gospel, spoken word, experimental alt rock, and more.

The song “Champion of the World” has an interpolation from “Los Angeles, Be Kind” by Scott Hutchison and is dedicated to him.
The album was released in legendary fashion, a live-streamed performance from Amman, Jordan. Much of the album’s aesthetic, sound, and vibe echo that of the Middle-East. The album drives a “we share the same blood” culture in a world with so much islamophobia and racial hate.
