Westminster Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 As much as i enjoyed Human Heart, i dont think it has potential becoming the new single.Β Why ? - It's not that kind of material you release during summer, probably something you would give away before december with all the christmas stuff coming up.Β No, my bet is we're getting something different to Higher Power. Modern and radio friendly but more melancholic, like they did with Paradise on MX. And i'm sure the next song will be even bigger than Higher Power and will definitely carry them until the release of MotS. Just my two cents...have a nice sunday folks, cheersβ 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Su_Xyloto Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Some of the postcards look a bit like the symbols that I posted here a while ago...the star, the triangle and specially the on that looks like an ellipse. And last but not least, do you remember how many they were? 12! There were 12 numbers on the phone number...I really want to believe this is related to Coldplay!

lennyrott1 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Loving new Glastonbury songs, but they also make me a bit nervous that LP9 (MOTS) is just gonna be a loose concept like MX that doesn't fully live up to the "space album"Β hype. This is what I expected, but still I'm worried the album could be inconsistent.Β Spoiler MOTS Intro -- Really hoping this is longer on the album version because it's beautiful and so spacey. Reminds me of other Coldplay intros but also Arcade Fire a little bit. I see folks saying it could go into HP on the album but I don't think so. Jon Hopkins for sure produced this.Β There's a kind of build up of synth that happens in the last 15 seconds that feels like it's gonna run right into the next track but HP is very abrupt. So idk. I personally hope it's 1-2 mins long and runs into another track.Β Human Heart -- Overall my fave bit of music from the MOTS era so far. The collab is beautiful, I love the changes to Chris'sΒ voice & how it's more of a layering thing than a vocoder thing. I think lyrics like "this gender does this, that gender does that" are a bit clichΓ© and tired in 2021, but I can tell his heart is in the right place. This is the second song in Coldplay's catalogue after "When I Need A Friend" that's vocals only! Might you just criticize the song for sounding just like a Jacob Collier track? Sure. But honestly it's album nine, why not try something like this while bringing awareness to a really small artist like WeAreKING.Β How The Era Is Shaping: Still cautiously optimistic. HP hasn't really grown on me yet. Of all the 80's inspired pop songs of the last few years, it's not my fave and I'm starting to suspect it's not gonna be a breakout summer hit like Warner Music wanted. I guess with the Alienradio teases it felt like we could get an era with some truly bizarre, spacey sounding stuff or some fun rockΒ sounds. But our 2.5 songs so far aren't really giving me that. Production favors pop vocal production over instrumentation, just like on AHFOD and GS. Don't get me wrong... I love the weird spacy sounds and the synths so far, but when you think about "Space" records or 80'sΒ songs, most rock bands do a lot of cool prog rock breakdowns or instrumental moments. Think of "Take On Me," which has a weird synth breakdown in the middle of the song. Or how about "Teenage Wasteland," which has iconic synths and then a sweet breakdown in the middle of the track. I believe songs can still haveΒ a pop/radio friendly song but still maintain a bit of creative rock energy or sweeping saxophones (In Your Eyes by the Weeknd) or guitar solos, but HP fails to deliver any extra instrumentation outside of a tambourine. I suspect there's gonna be a song or two that blows me away on MOTS, just like on every album they've released. But worried that all this teasing of planets and aliens is gonna end up being a "heart, love, heartbreak" album with super generic lyrics and nothing related to its aesthetic. MX was supposed to tell a story, but nobody could understand it. EL teased a banjo and old timey feelΒ on the cover, but no banjos were on the album and no old timey songs. I'd just love for them to stick to a concept, but that's just not really the band's style I guess. Β 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigBadBono Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 For those thinking that the new album was going to be a full-blown pop record with no redeeming songs, I think Human Heart is proof enough that this era will surprise some if not many people.Β I myself though that the collaborations in this album would be more generic and pandering to the public but I love these little features, which is part of the reason why I loved EL so much.Β It's also interesting, because no matter your opinion on the song - the lack of other band members being one of it - I don't think anyone can bash them here for being safe or pandering, because this song is somewhat a risk - almost no instrumentals, a cappella (remember what they said 10 years ago with Rescue Street?), and a much slower place in the style of Daddy, O, or When I Need a Friend. Like I said, I'm hugely optimistic about the new album despite how disappointing Higher Power was. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
