A new month always brings a host of great new albums to look forward to, and May is no different. Last month saw big new releases from Damon Albarn, Pixies, Eels and Nas, amongst others, and May is looking even better. Below I’ve listed all of the albums worth getting excited about this month –…
I’m all for bands trying something different and not recording the same thing over and over again, but Coldplay’s ‘Midnight’ is an experiment gone too far. As a piece of ambient music it’s very involving and the mixture of Martin’s vocoder vocals and a mix of electronic instrumentation is actually quite listenable in a relaxing…
Unusually for a new Coldplay album, the build-up to new LP Ghost Stories seems quite muted. Remember, this is the band that used to cause stock market fluctuations with the announcement of new albums. But these days things are much more reserved. Today the four-piece were in the Radio 1 Live Lounge and played two…
It seems like a big day for Elton John’s fans. Some of the music’s biggest names will be contributing to two Elton John albums. These tribute albums are basically two different servings of Elton John’s music – one focusing on pop & rock artists while other will bring in country music artists to celebrate Elton…
Taken from their upcoming album Ghost Stories Coldplay return to their earlier form of slow, ponderous ballads and ‘Magic’ is possibly the slowest amongst them. Fans of the band will lap this up and there is much to enjoy: the instrumentation and Martin’s vocals are crisp and involving and move smoothly as the song progresses,…
Coldplay recently premiered a new song on YouTube titled “Hypnotised”. This new song is a part of the upcoming Coldplay EP “Kaleidoscope”. This new album is planned for a release this June. It will feature many new songs from the band including “Something Like This” – the recent hit collaboration with The Chainsmokers. “Hypnotised” is…

It’s time you treat your ears with the highly-anticipated new single “Something Just Like This” by Coldplay and The Chainsmokers. It’s the collaboration that has been keeping the fans awake ever since the news that both are working together got out. Some critics anticipated this collaboration to be a failed attempt but it turned out…
Coldplay – ‘Christmas Lights’ There’s nothing like a good old Christmas song to get everyone in the festive spirit. Those rousing choruses, sleigh bells and children’s choirs are as Christmassy as mince pies and tinsel. Since their heyday in the 70’s and 80’s, Christmas songs have gone through a few transformation. Thankfully were not subjected…
Coldplay has premiered a music video for the song “Amazing Day”. This song is taken from Coldplay’s recent album “A Head Full of Dreams”. I’m sure fans will be happy to watch this new video. Now this new video “Amazing Day” isn’t a regular music video. It’s actually a fan video where you will see…
