Welcome back to a new week with Musical Disclosure. The next three episodes will focus on one of the bands that has achieved great success on the charts and beyond in the last twenty years: Coldplay.

In the hallways of University College London, Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland formed the very first lineup of the band, soon completed by Guy Berriman and Will Champion. Although their songwriting and especially their live performances began in 1998, it wasn't until 2000 that Coldplay released their first official album, "Parachutes". Thanks to sensational singles like "Trouble" and especially "Yellow", the English band quickly gained millions of fans in Europe and the United States, rapidly rising to fame. The album, enriched by Ken Nelson's production, won the Mercury Music Prize and the Grammy Award for "Best Alternative Music Album". The success of "Parachutes" laid the groundwork for the second album, "A Rush of Blood to the Head" (2002). This record confirmed Coldplay's talent, winning several Grammy Awards, including "Record of the Year" and "Best Rock Album". Tracks like "Clocks" and "The Scientist" solidified the band's reputation as a global phenomenon. The third chapter in Coldplay's musical history, "X&Y" (2005), debuted at the top of charts worldwide and demonstrated the band's ability to evolve without losing their identity.

Today's listening is a bit melancholic: from "Parachutes", we present "Spies"!
