Posted February 25, 201411 yr Coldplay have released a surprise new single expected to be a standalone release and might indicate a mild change of direction. BQeMxWjpr-Y
February 25, 201411 yr Very different indeed, wouldn't have pegged it as a Coldplay song at all if I didn't know. Great to see them experimenting, but not really my thing unless it grows.
February 25, 201411 yr Ah, I thought the 'midnight' announcement on Facebook might be signifying something. WOW though, it's so different :o I have to admit I'm really liking it on first listen - them going down a path like this would be a very intriguing thing indeed, though I'm not entirely certain how well it would go down overall. Incredible video as well.
February 25, 201411 yr Incredible video as well. Yeah, I love the video as well. I think however that the song by itself might not work quite as well as it does with the video.
February 25, 201411 yr Wait, this is actually good?! Love the tone of surprise! Love it so far, good to hear something a bit different from them.
February 25, 201411 yr Not really feeling this on first listen, just sounds a bit dull to me. Guess I wanted something more melodic from them.
February 26, 201411 yr that buildup all the way up from 2:00 to about 4:30 needed a big jon hopkins style dance breakdown at the end to seal it, and it just never happened. still v nice though.
February 26, 201411 yr I so don't like a build-up without a climax :( nobody does in ANY situation :(
February 26, 201411 yr So strange, it's what I expect of another fave of mine, not Coldplay. It's great for night, but during the day? No. I can't see it going doon well at all. It'd be really interesting to get an album like this out of them, but it would likely flop.
February 26, 201411 yr First impression is of Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek purely because of the vocal effects. And the standard U2 influence on the guitar. Damn good start to a new era.
