Coldplay has finalised the track list for its wildly anticipated third Parlophone album, X&Y, due June 6 in its native Britain and the following day in North America via Capitol. First single Speed of Sound will be released commercially on May 23 in Britain.
The biggest surprise to be found among the 12 confirmed tracks is Talk, which leaked online earlier this year and was previously thought to have been relegated to a B-side. The cut derives its melody directly from Kraftwerk’s Computer Love, with the main riff played on guitar as opposed to the synthesisers that marked the original.
