Coldplay To Release Another New Album Already?

Coldplay could be releasing their next album sooner than expected - possibly before the end of year, or in early 2009.

It's thought the band may deliver another long-player so soon after June's 'Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends', to escape from their current contract with EMI.

According to an insider, Chris Martin and band already have some tracks left over from those last album recording sessions:

"The majority of the follow-up is already in the can," a source tells The Sun, "though they will have to go back into the studio at some point to add a few more songs."

"Standard industry contracts tend to be for six albums, so if they provide some kind of compilation after their next album they will be free agents and able to renegotiate their contract or head out on their own."
