Ngenkathi i-Coldplay isanda kuqala ukukhuphuka amashadi aphezulu futhi ihehe abalaleli ehlobo lika-2000, izintatheli zomculo zabhala ukuthi leli qembu alingeni kahle esitaleni somculo esidumile.
Izingoma zabo ezipholile, ezilula, ezihlakaniphile zibenza bahluke kuzihlabani ze-pop noma abaculi be-rap abanolaka.
Kuningi okubhaliwe emaphephandabeni omculo waseBrithani mayelana nendlela yokuphila enenhliziyo evulekile yomculi uChris Martin kanye nokungathandi utshwala okuvamile, okuhluke kakhulu endleleni yokuphila yesihlabani somculo we-rock.
Ibhendi igwema ukugunyazwa yinoma ubani, ikhetha ukukhuthaza izinto ezidambisa ubumpofu bomhlaba noma izinkinga zemvelo kunokuba inikeze umculo wayo ezimakethe ezithengisa izimoto, amateki noma isofthiwe yekhompyutha.
Naphezu kobuhle nobubi, i-Coldplay yaduma, ithengisa izigidi zamarekhodi, yathola imiklomelo eminingi emikhulu futhi yathola ukunconywa ngabagxeki bomculo emhlabeni jikelele.
Esihlokweni esikumagazini i-Maclean, umshayi wesiginci weColdplay uJohn Buckland wachaza ukuthi ukuhlangana nezilaleli ngezinga elingokomzwelo “kuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu kithi emculweni. Asibona abapholile kakhulu, kodwa abantu abazimele; siyakuthakasela kakhulu esikwenzayo.”
Kusizindalwazi esisemthethweni seColdplay, uMartin uphinde wabhala: “Sizamile ukusho ukuthi kukhona okunye. Ungaba yinoma yini, kungaba i-flash, i-pop noma i-pop, futhi unganciphisa isimo sengqondo ngaphandle kokuqhosha. Besifuna ukusabela kuyo yonke le mfucumfucu esizungezile.”
Ukuzalwa kwemizwa ye-Coldplay
Laba bafana bahlangana baba abangani ngenkathi behlala endaweni eyodwa yokulala e-University College London (UCL) maphakathi nawo-1990. Bakha iqembu, ekuqaleni bazibiza ngokuthi i-Starfish.
Lapho abangani babo ababedlala eqenjini elibizwa ngokuthi i-Coldplay bengasafuni ukusebenzisa igama, i-Starfish ngokusemthethweni yaba yi-Coldplay.
Isihloko sithathwe eqoqweni lezinkondlo Ukucabanga Kwengane, Ukudlala Okubandayo. Ibhendi iqukethe u-Guy Berryman oshaya isigingci, u-Buckland oshaya isigingci, u-Will Champion, nomculi ophambili, oshaya isigingci nomdlali wopiyano uMartin. UMartin wayefuna ukuba umculi kusukela eneminyaka engu-11.
Wachazela uKatherine Thurman kamama uJones ukuthi lapho eqala ukuya e-UCL, wayenesithakazelo esikhulu ekutholeni abalingani beqembu kunokufunda isihloko sayo esiyinhloko, umlando wasendulo.
Ebuzwa uThurman ukuthi waqala yini imfundo yakhe ecabanga ukuthi uzoba uthisha wezomlando wasendulo, uMartin waphendula ngokuncokola, "Bekuyiphupho lami langempela, kodwa kwabe sekufika iColdplay!"
Amalungu amathathu kwamane aqede imfundo yawo yasenyuvesi (u-Berryman wayeka isikole phakathi nendawo), isikhathi sawo esiningi samahhala asinikela ekubhaleni umculo nokuzilolonga.
"SINGAPHEZULU, IQEMBU NJE."
Nakuba izingoma eziningi ze-Coldplay zikhuluma ngezihloko zomuntu siqu ezinjengothando, ukudabuka kwenhliziyo nokungazethembi, u-Martin kanye nalo lonke iqembu lomculo nabo bagxile ezindabeni zomhlaba, ikakhulukazi ngokukhankasela ukuhweba ngobulungisa njengengxenye yomkhankaso we-Oxfam Make Trade Fair. I-Oxfam iyiqoqo lezinhlangano ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni ezisebenza emhlabeni wonke ukunciphisa ubumpofu nokwenza ngcono izimpilo.
Ngonyaka ka-2002, i-Coldplay yamenywa yi-Oxfam ukuba ivakashele eHaiti ukuze izibonele mathupha izinkinga abalimi emazweni anjalo ababhekana nazo, nokufunda ngomthelela weNhlangano Yezohwebo Yomhlaba (i-WTO) kulaba balimi.
Engxoxweni nomama wakhe uJones, uMartin wavuma ukuthi yena namanye amalungu e-Coldplay babengazi lutho mayelana nezindaba zokuhweba emhlabeni wonke ngaphambi kokuvakashela kwabo eHaiti: "Sasingazi lutho ngakho. Sihambe nohambo lokufunda ukuthi ukungenisa nokuthumela izimpahla emazweni angaphandle emhlabeni jikelele kusebenza kanjani.”
Ijatshuliswe ubumpofu obushaqisayo e-Haiti futhi iqiniseka ukuthi ukugqugquzela umphakathi, ikakhulukazi uma kwenziwa iqembu elidumile emhlabeni wonke, kungenza umehluko, i-Coldplay yaqala ukuxoxa ngohwebo lomhlaba kanye nokugqugquzela i-Make Trade Fair noma nini lapho kungenzeka.
I-Coldplay kanye ne-ecology
Amalungu e-Coldplay nawo asekela izindaba zemvelo. Engosini yabo yeColdplay, bacele abalandeli abafuna ukubabhalela izincwadi ukuthi bathumele ama-imeyili, ngokwengxenye ngoba ukusakazwa okunjalo “kulula endaweni ezungezile” kunezinhlamvu zamaphepha ezivamile.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, leli qembu lihlanganyele nenkampani yaseBrithani iFuture Forests ukutshala izihlahla zikamango ezingu-XNUMX eNdiya. Njengoba i-website ye-Future Forests ichaza, "izihlahla zinikeza izithelo zokuhweba nokusetshenziswa kwendawo, futhi phakathi nokuphila kwazo zimunca i-carbon dioxide ekhishwe ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza."
Ochwepheshe abaningi bezemvelo bakholelwa ukuthi ukukhishwa kwesikhutha esiyingozi emithonjeni efana nezimboni, izimoto nezitofu sekuqalile ukushintsha isimo sezulu soMhlaba futhi, uma kuyekwa kungabhekwanga, kuzoholela emiphumeleni ebhubhisayo ebangelwa ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke nangale kwayo.
Kuwebhusayithi yaleli qembu, umshayi webhesi uGuy Berryman wachaza ukuthi kungani yena nozakwabo bezwa isidingo sokuthuthukisa lezi zimbangela: “Wonke umuntu ohlala kulo Mhlaba unomthwalo wemfanelo othile.
Okuxakayo ukuthi kithina kungase kubonakale sengathi abantu abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi sikhona nje ukuze ukwazi ukusibuka kumabonakude, uthenge amarekhodi ethu, nokunye. Kodwa sifuna ukudlulisela kuwo wonke umuntu, ngobuhlakani bethu, ukuthi sinamandla nekhono lokwazisa abantu ngezinkinga. Akuwona umzamo omkhulu kithi, kodwa uma ungasiza abantu, khona-ke sifuna ukukwenza!"
Laba bafana benza okubonakalayo hhayi kuphela kubalaleli bomsakazo nabagxeki bomculo, kodwa nakuDan Keeling weParlophone Records. U-Keeling wasayina i-Coldplay kulebula ngo-1999 futhi ibhendi yangena estudiyo ukuyoqopha ilebula yabo yokuqala enkulu. I-albhamu ethi 'The Blue Room' yakhululwa ekwindla ka-1999.
I-Coldplay ehlonishwa umhlaba wonke
Ngohlelo olujulile lokuvakasha, ukusekelwa okuqhubekayo okuvela kuRadio 1, kanye nokuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kumakhono omculo, abalandeli beColdplay bakhula ngosayizi. U-Parlofon wezwa sengathi ibhendi isilungele iphrofayili ephezulu, futhi ibhendi yaqala ukuqopha i-disc yayo yokuqala yobude obugcwele, amaParachute.
NgoMashi 2000, iColdplay yakhipha i-'Shiver' kumaParachute. I-'Shiver' idale umuzwa, yafinyelela ku-#35 kumashadi omculo wase-UK, kodwa bekuyingoma yesibili ephuma kumaParachute eyenza ukuba i-Coldplay ibe sezingeni eliphezulu.
I-'Yellow' yakhululwa ngo-June 2000 futhi yaduma kakhulu e-England nase-United States, lapho yadonsa ukunaka komphakathi njengevidiyo ku-MTV futhi yathola ukudlala kanzima eziteshini zomsakazo ezweni lonke.
Kodwa-ke, abagxeki nabalandeli ngokufanayo baye bawazisa umculo we-Coldplay, bephawula ukuthi ubonakala unokuningi okungapheli kwamaculo akhuphukayo, imidlalo ethinta imizwa kanye nezinhlamvu ezivusa amadlingozi kodwa ekugcineni ezehlayo.
Amapharashuthi aqokwa kuma-Mercury Music Awards ahlonishwayo ngo-2000, kwathi ngo-2001 i-albhamu yawina izindondo ezimbili ze-BRIT (ezifana ne-US Grammy Awards) ye-Best British Group kanye ne-Best British Album.
Indondo ye-Grammy ekade ilindelwe
Amapharashuthi awine Indondo Ye-Grammy Ye-Best Alternative Music Album ngonyaka olandelayo. Wonke amalungu ebhendi abamba iqhaza ekubhaleni izingoma, akhiqize ngokuhlanganyela aqoshiwe, futhi aqondise ukukhiqizwa kwamavidiyo awo nokukhethwa kwezithombe zama-CD awo.
Ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe-albhamu ehlobo lika-2000, i-Coldplay yavakashela e-UK, eYurophu nase-US. Uhambo belulukhulu futhi lukhathaza, futhi kulo lonke elase-US beluhlushwa isimo sezulu esibi nokugula phakathi kwamalungu eqembu. Imibukiso eminingi kudingeke ukuthi ichithwe, okuthe ngemuva kwalokho kwavela amahlebezi okuthi leli qembu selizohlukana, kodwa inhlebo enjalo yayingenasisekelo.
Ekupheleni kohambo, amalungu eColdplay ayekudinga kakhulu ukuphumula isikhathi eside, kodwa awufeza umsebenzi wawo: aletha umculo wawo kubantu abaningi, futhi uquqaba lwacula kanyekanye ngenjabulo!
Ukulungiswa kwe-albhamu yesibili yeqembu
Ikhandlekile ngokomzwelo nangokomzimba ngenxa yokuvakasha kwezinyanga, i-Coldplay yabuyela ekhaya ukuze izoshaywa umoya ngaphambi kokuqala umsebenzi ku-albhamu yayo yesibili. Njengoba bekuqagelwa ukuthi i-albhamu yabo yesibili ingase ingafinyeleli kulokho abebekulindele okokuqala, amalungu eqembu atshele abezindaba ukuthi ancamela ukukhipha i-albhamu kunokuba akhiphe irekhodi elingelihle.
Ngokusho kwewebhusayithi yakwaColdplay, ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa besebenza kule albhamu, “wonke umuntu ubejabule ngaphandle kweqembu”. UBuckland wake wathi engxoxweni: “Siwujabulele umsebenzi owenziwe, kodwa sahlehla sabona ukuthi kube yiphutha.
Kungaba lula ukusho ukuthi senze okwanele ukukhipha i-albhamu ezogcina ijubane lethu, kodwa asizange. Babuyela esitudiyo esincane eLiverpool lapho izingoma ezingashadile eziningi zaziqoshwe khona futhi benza enye ingoma. Kulokhu bathole lokho kanye ababekufuna.
Izingoma ezifana ne-'Daylight', 'The Whisper', nethi 'The Scientist' zidayiswe phakathi kwamaviki amabili. "Sivele sazizwa siphefumulelwe ngokuphelele futhi sazizwa sengathi singenza noma yini esiyithandayo."
Impumelelo entsha nge-albhamu entsha
Umzamo owengeziwe waba nomphumela ehlobo lika-2002 ngokukhishwa kwe-"A Rush of Blood to the Head" kuzibuyekezo eziningi ezinhle. Intatheli yaseHollywood yafingqa imizwa yabaningi:
"Lena i-albhamu engcono kakhulu kuneyokuqala, iqoqo elihle kakhulu lezingoma ze-sonic ne-lyrical adventurous ezinohlobo lwamahhuku angena ebuchosheni bakho lapho uqala ukulalela nokujula, igama lishiya i-aftertaste emnandi."
AbakwaColdplay bathole imiklomelo eminingi nge-albhamu yabo yesibili, okuhlanganisa nama-MTV Video Music Awards amathathu ngo-2003, indondo ye-Grammy ye-Best Alternative Music Album ngo-2003, kanye "namawashi" ngo-2004.

Ngemva kwesinye isikhathi esinzima somsebenzi wokusekela ukukhululwa kwe-A Rush of Blood to the Head, i-Coldplay yazama ukuthatha ikhefu ekukhanyeni ngokubuyela ekhaya labo lokuqopha e-England ukuze benze i-albhamu yabo yesithathu.
