British band Coldplay released the first single, "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" off of their upcoming untitled album, which front man Chris Martin said is influenced by graffiti art culture.
The new track was released on Friday and is available for download through iTunes for most of the world, except the UK, which has to wait until Sunday.
The album, which is a follow-up to their 2008 album "Viva La Vida," is being produced by Brian Eno.
"The ideas come from graffiti art of the 70s in New York, where people were expressing themselves with paint," Martin, 33, told the Guardian newspaper. "I've spent a lot of my life playing it a bit safe or conforming to something, even though I didn't agree with it. So I have respect and admiration for people who don't."
Martin met his wife Gwyneth Paltrow at one of his band's concerts in 2002. They got married a year later and have two children - daughter Apple, 6, and son Moses, 4. The couple split their time between England and the United States, where Paltrow usually films movies.
Paltrow joined the social networking sites Facebook and Twitter this week. She posted a photo of their kids watching their father's band on her Twitter account on Thursday with the caption, "M+A at coldplay secret gig new songs=genius."
