Coldplay share two new songs from their highly anticipated upcoming album

Ahead of the release of their upcoming album, Everyday Life, on Friday, November 22, Coldplay have shared two brand new songs from the project: 'Daddy' and 'Champion Of The World'.

'Daddy' arrives with a stunning music video, created by Aardman Animations – the team behind Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run. Directed by Åsa Lucander, the film follow a girl’s fragmented memories of her father, using live action puppetry, digitally painted sets and 2D animation to create a tapestry of styles.

“I knew when I had the opportunity to pitch on this project that is was going to be a very special one," Lucander revealed in a statement about the release. "A few minutes into listening to the track 'Daddy' – It spoke to me in a way that stories and visual images began to dance in front of me. And when this happens you know that you are on to something very special indeed. I tend to get drawn to emotional stories and this was certainly one I wanted to tell.”

The other new song from Everyday Life,' Champion Of The World', features a co-write credit for the writers of Owl John’s Los Angeles Be Kind, including Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit.

"Scott had a song called Los Angeles Be Kind, which I love," Chris Martin said in a statement. "When I first heard it, I thought it was going to go one way; but it went another. Anyway Champion Of The World is the song that came from following the other path, and that’s why Scott is a co-writer on this song. Today is also his birthday. So happy birthday Scott and Thank you for your beautiful music, wherever you are."

On Friday, Coldplay are set to celebrate the release of Everyday Life with two exclusive performances, streaming live from Jordan. The event will take place in Amman, Jordan and mirror the two halves of the 52-minute double album: Sunrise and Sunset. The Sunrise concert will begin at 4am GMT, with the Sunset concert following at 2pm GMT, and will be available to stream here.
