Coldplay have announced their latest musical venture - Moon Music - features a collaboration with Matty Healy.

The 1975 front man joined forces with the Yellow hitmakers to work on the new album that's been fed to fans in drips and drabs.

Moon Music hit airwaves last Friday but three days later Chris Martin and his bandmates revealed there was more to come.

Dubbing the rest of the project, ‘Moon Music (Full Moon Edition)’, the deluxe collection comes with 10 additional tracks - including several live recordings.

While Matty's voice doesn't make a cameo, his skills as a musician were called in by the band for a track entitled The Karate Kid.

He provided additional production and piano work to the song that was added to the second batch of releases from Coldplay.

The edition also features two new songs with English electronic musician and producer Jon Hopkins - Angelsong and Wave.

Ahead of the album's release, Chris told NME: "Right now, and since about 2008, if something lands in me as a song or as a good idea and it feels authentic, we’ll do it.

"It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks."

Last month, Coldplay thrilled fans when they released footage for a music video that they filmed on Grafton Street before they kicked off their string of tour dates at Croke Park.

In the middle of a packed crowd, Chris performed his new song Pray and was joined by his collaborators Burna Boy, Little Simz, Elyanna, and Tini.

The video has since been released on YouTube with a note that read: "Filmed on 28 August, 2024 at Grafton Street, Dublin. Thanks to everyone who showed up, and to TikTok for helping to make it happen."

For all the hottest entertainment stories, keep SPIN loud with Shannon Keenan on the hour everyday from 10am-5pm.
