June 21, 20241 yr best thing they've dones in ages last album was shit, not 1 decent song, collaborating with BTS was such a weird move Not even Coloratura? That's a big favourite of the early Coldplay fans in their fanbase!
June 21, 20241 yr I mean this is a Coldplay by numbers pop song but do like it. I’m not sure it’s a hit but definitely a great radio single. I’ve always wondered why Coldplay’s popularity never goes away. Most bands get 2 or 3 big albums and then the public lose all interest but there is always interest in a new Coldplay release and the likes of Radio 1 are still falling over themselves to get the first play of any new material.
June 21, 20241 yr Probably not surprising that this will be on Radio 2's playlist from tomorrow and it's also their Record of the Week from Monday
June 21, 20241 yr Yes the humming is rather lazy. It’s as if they asked AI to make a generic Coldplay song.
June 21, 20241 yr It feels like... the chorus is trying to be rousing + anthemic and it's really flat.
June 21, 20241 yr This isn't doing much for me sadly, feels like it never really gets going up a gear. It has a similar production vibe to Mylo Xyloto but isn't as dynamic or uplifting. I immediately just went to play Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall instead. At least I don't have to look at that eyesore of a title much though if I won't be actively playing it :lol:

Crazy really, I think they've done well to have their core fanbase and then latch on to trends and have the right features too. There's a self awareness within their team too. They headlined Radio 1 Big Weekend and with my knowledge of these things, the acts don't really take a few (or very minimal fee) to play these events, but the trade off is that they are guaranteed airplay.
June 22, 20241 yr Just sounds like a Mylo Xyloto album track, which is still decent, but very by the numbers and it's definitely not becoming anyone's favourite Coldplay song. The outro is definitely the best part, I was starting to warm to it a bit more after that. Ultimately, though I preferred Higher Power by them if I wanted a pop sellout sound. I guess I'll just be hoping for a Coloratura to be buried on here somewhere x
June 28, 20241 yr Debuts at #25! Hopefully it'll stay stable with a HHUK addition the other day, and it's been moved up to #4 on Apple's Today's Hits.
June 28, 20241 yr Sounds very copy and paste a lot of their stuff towards the past decade. Not feeling it at all but I guess good for them to score another top 30 hit.
