According to The Sun, Coldplay has disclosed that a sample of President Obama singing “Amazing Grace” during Reverend Clementa C. Pinckney’s burial in Charleston, South Carolina, this summer is included on the band’s new album A Head Full of Dreams. One of the black men and women slain by a white shooter at Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in June was Pinckney, a state senator from South Carolina.

“We have a tiny clip of the President singing Amazing Grace at that church,” Chris Martin stated to The Sun*. “Because of the historical significance of what he did and also that song being about, ‘I’m lost but now I’m found.'”

According to a source cited by the Sun, authorization to use the recording was granted by both the White House and Emanuel A.M.E. Church.

A Head Full of Dreams is available on Parlophone/Atlantic as of December 4. Martin recently disclosed to The Wall Street Journal that the album includes appearances by Beyoncé and Jay Z’s daughter Blue Ivy, Martin’s ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, their two children, Apple and Moses, and his current partner, actress Annabelle Wallis, in addition to the previously announced collaborators Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo, and Merry Clayton.
