The Sun claim that Coldplay are set to release a new album in 2009 even though their latest album Viva La Vida Or Death And all His Friends was just released in June.

On Thursday (August 20) it was reported that front man Chris Martin and producer Brian Eno along with the rest of the band had recorded enough songs for the basis of a new album.

A source said, “The Viva La Vida sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded much more music than they could fit on one album. The majority of the follow-up is already in the can, though they will have to go back into the studio at some point to add a few more songs.”

Which means that if they release a new album and then a greatest hits, they would have completed their contract with record label EMI.

Last year EMI was taken over by a finance firm leaving bands such as Radiohead to walk away from the label.

A rep for EMI denied reports of a new album, telling NME, “Contrary to inaccurate reports in The Sun, Coldplay are signed to a long-term record deal with EMI and are committed to produce a number of albums. The band’s relationship with EMI is both long-term and positive.”
