Legends is a separate song. The seller that sold the race also had Legends, Heart on Fire and Gold. All AHFOD era songs (I believe). My theory is that the old GS version of the race was brought into the AHFOD recording sessions and that's why it leaked along with other AHFOD era tracks.   This is 100% the GS version of The Race. It appeared on a working track list for Ghost Stories and lyrics appear on artwork from Mila Furstova. This track was originally meant for Ghost Stories, was then brought into the AHFOD sessions, reworked and then never released. The AHFOD version seems to be completely different. Merry Clayton's vocals can be heard on that version. The only snippet we've heard of that is the version I isolated from the documentary.

Here's hoping that they come up with another ...Baby One More Time or Oops!... I Did It Again /s

Dudes and Dudesses,  Max Martin produced Blinding Lights by The Weeknd, that was a MEGAHIT! He also helped with Orphans too.  Ive actually got a good feeling about a Max Martin produced Coldplay song. Even if some don’t like his producing style, we don’t know for sure if it’s just for one song or all the album.

Max Martin >> Stargate  

Mixed feelings about Max Martin...He's produced some really amazing pop songs over the past few decades that feel timeless and cross over mutliple genres -- Taylor Swift, Adele, Ariana Grande, Sam Smith. The Weeknd's great last album was pretty alternative and he worked on that.The guy is clearly very talented and can work within the sound of the artists who hire him. And I'd love to see Coldplay have another top song on the level of Viva La Vida or Paradise or Fix You -- and maybe Max Martin can help hone a modern Coldplay classic for the 2020's.  But yeah I don't want LP9 to be completely a pop record. I felt the same about AHFOD when stargate was producing but that ended up having pletny of solid rock-ish songs, so IDK. It's so hard to predict what they'll do. I've tried since MX and never have been very close. Their albums combine so many genres at this point that the best guess is that there will be every genre ...
