The production is much better than MX—that's always been my biggest complaint with MX, it sounds muddled—and it has that sort of eclectic energy HLH has.
April 30, 20215 yr This is a proper dance song, will do phenomenal on tour surely...... some chords in the background btw very similar to the chorus of A L I E N S!

Exactly, if they manage to make what they would have wanted MX to be with Ghost Stories or EL level production I'll be pleased. This is only 15 seconds but I am getting massive 80s vibes, good production so far which means now I'm not longer cautiously optimistic and just optimistic lol! 11 years after MX if they manage to make the Mecha-MX I'll cry tears of joy

I haven't ordered anything before from Coldplay store... I don't know what's going on? I Guess we just have to wait a couple of days for them to organize all the orders. I hope it’s that ??
April 30, 20215 yr Am I the only one who is afraid to listen?? it’s like when you run into a big spoiler of your favourite TV show.. I guess I’nm too excited ?
April 30, 20215 yr I love the vibe. It sounds really catchy 80s pop but with a real Coldplay signature! I bet there will be an awesome solo by JB somewhere near the end. So excited!

April 30, 20215 yr Only a Jony Boy guitar solo can save this song that doesn't add anything new to the music. It will only pretend to be a commercial success and nothing more.

So excited! I'm doing my best to imagine that there's an epic guitar solo by Jonny as a part of the middle eight, actually

I have a lot of hope for the album now.
April 30, 20215 yr It all sounds very much like MX part two! I think even better news is that NO WAY WILL WE BE WAITING FOR FULL LEAK OF HIGHER POWER UNTIL FRIDAY. This will leak in a couple of days if you ask me...

April 30, 20215 yr I was fully aware we will be getting something really poppy immediately after seeing their new outfits. So im not disappointed at all. It's what could have been expected, fair enough. We are all going through really hard and strange times - thats why they defintely nailed it, after what we can judge from the snippet. It's all about about hope and looking forward to better and more shiny days. Thats what this song will deliver, for sure. As a side note: I'm pretty sure the new record will also please those who are more into the bands older stuff, with maybe 2 or 3 songs. But overall, a stadium and radio-friendly album is what should be expected - with some new influences as well. But they wont re-invent the wheel. And thats good! ?
April 30, 20215 yr It's about the taste if people like it or not, but Higher Power has hell of a strong production, that's not arguable! A bit reminds me Blinding Lights, but Higher Power has more dynamics, stronger drums and bass and overall more boost, at least in this clip. Hoping for some of the amazing Jonny's guitar elements though, to give it proper Coldplay vibe. Very catchy, definitely need the whole song now!
April 30, 20215 yr I hear Hurts Like Heaven and Birds. I'm not gonna give up on this song just yet because Hurts Like Heaven and Birds are great. I can hear the 80s influence, with some A-ha sprinkled in because we know they're A-ha fans. I just want to hear that classic Jonny Buckland guitar hook and solo... hopefully he's in there somewhere.
April 30, 20215 yr It reminds a lot to Birds, which is a favorite of mine from AHFOD. It also gives me a lot of summer vibes. I can also hear a bit of HLH at the end. If it is, it must likely have a nice instrumental bridge/part. Overall, it sounds nice Edit: The more I listen to it, the more I love it! It is just so optimistic and energetic, one of the reasons why I love Birds And MX overall. I can't wait for Friday to come! Edited April 30, 20215 yr by Pokegleek Further listen
April 30, 20215 yr Blinding Lights is a generic garbage. People talking about it like it's a decade's defining masterpice of a song like Bohemian Rhapsody or Wind Of Change. Edited April 30, 20215 yr by United
April 30, 20215 yr I get not liking it but I don’t understand why anyone was expecting rock for this lead single produced by prolific pop producer Max Martin (especially when Coldplay have always been pop anyway, the way people talk about rock here you’d think Coldplay’s first three albums were really heavy or something) i like that it’s got a HLH/Birds vibe but with an 80s touch, hopefully there’s some great rifs on there and maybe some spacey type touches to it too Edited April 30, 20215 yr by strawberrytom
April 30, 20215 yr As long as Jonny drops a magic riff in there, we'll all be okay. But yeah, this is what pop Coldplay produced by Max Martin is gonna be. No big surprise. Edited April 30, 20215 yr by Sonic85
April 30, 20215 yr I mean let's face it, in terms of poppy Coldplay I think Max Martin is light years ahead from how Stargate massacred AHFOD....
April 30, 20215 yr This was probably meant to be a GRAND album so it's gonna make a massive sound then! However, this song is going to be unbelievable in concerts... Edited April 30, 20215 yr by Miha
