Moses Martin \u2013 the son of Chris Martin<\/a> and Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a> \u2013 has launched a music career with his new band People I\u2019ve Met. Check out their debut single below.<\/p>\n

Moses formed the band alongside Andrew Suster and Orlando Wiltshire, and, unlike his father\u2019s material as part of Coldplay<\/a>, they focus on an overall moodier, alt-rock approach.<\/p>\n

Already, the band has been signed by Interscope Records, which represents massive names including Benny Blanco<\/a>, Billie Eilish<\/a>, BTS<\/a>, Gracie Abrams<\/a>, Kendrick Lamar<\/a> and Lady Gaga<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram at the end of 2025, Moses revealed that People I\u2019ve Met have now dropped their debut single, \u2018Promise\u2019, which gives listeners a first taste of what to expect from the band.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo proud of this song. Endlessly grateful for the band and @noahconrad for helping to make this song so special,\u201d he wrote in the caption, mentioning the LA-based songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. \u201cHope you enjoy. Sincerely, Moses Martin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re at the summit of better lives\/ Can you give me more time?\/ We\u2019re over-damaged and undermined\/ Give it up one more time,\u201d Moses sings in the brooding pre-chorus. The instrumentals have subtle nods to artists including The Temper Trap<\/a> and Tame Impala<\/a>, while the singer\u2019s voice has a slight resemblance to that of his father.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan we just start over?\/Can we just be honest?\/ I\u2019m tired of feeling\/ I\u2019m tired of promise,\u201d he sings as the song bursts into the euphoric chorus.<\/p>\n

Moses is the child of Paltrow and Martin, who were married from 2003 to 2016. Now aged 19, he has contributed vocals to some Coldplay songs in the past including \u2018Humankind\u2019, and also has writing credits on \u2018All My Love\u2019, \u2018The Astronaut\u2019, and \u2018Orphans\u2019 (via Daily Mail<\/a>).<\/p>\n

He also joined Coldplay on stage at Glastonbury in 2016<\/a>, and is the sibling of Apple Martin, who has ventured into the music industry recently<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

In October last year, the 21 year-old was seen performing at Cannery Hall in Nashville alongside musical duo Jade Street. The footage of that gig comes after she was previously credited as a co-songwriter on the Coldplay song \u2018Let Somebody Go\u2019<\/a> from their 2021 album \u2018Music Of The Spheres\u2019<\/a>, which features guest vocals from Selena Gomez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Details about more new music from People I\u2019ve Met have not yet been shared.<\/p>\n

As for Coldplay, their latest album \u2018Moon Music\u2019 was given a four-star review<\/a>, with NME\u2019s Rhian Daly writing that the record \u201cgently and subtly distils that spirit of weathering any storm, going on a journey from that bleak opening moment to a more accepting, happier ending.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin gave NME an exclusive interview<\/a> ahead of the album\u2019s release, where he told us that the album \u201cis kind of the story of waking up in the morning and feeling terrible about yourself, terrible about the world \u2013 depressed, isolated, separate, alone, and not able to be yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to add: \u201cThrough the album, it\u2019s a journey to feeling the complete opposite at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, the band have been on the road with their giant \u2018Music Of The Spheres\u2019 tour. The trek came to an end in September, after becoming the second tour to ever gross over $1billion<\/a>, but Martin revealed at the penultimate show at Wembley that there are \u201c138 more shows to go<\/a>\u201d, adding: \u201cWe have a break coming up, and we\u2019ll announce the shows for 2027 soon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Moses Martin \u2013 the son of Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow \u2013 has launched a music career with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[4911,156,591,157,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-230519","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-alternative","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-indie","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-new-zealand","13":"tag-newzealand","14":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
