Ccrules2791 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Haven't posted in a while but the song compelled me too! Just like Arabesque on the last album, this is a strong showing (alongside the more conventional single) of creativity (and I like Higher Power a lot) of creativity!ย 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Amsterdam came to my mind, the variant they used to do of this song as concert closer was outstanding and Coloratura is in the album-closers big leagues! Of course, as you said no comparison here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP-EST Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I think they really did something big here. The progression of it is quite unexpected and totally unique. They really showed their depth here. Amazing symphony. Not much to say, in my opinion this is their greatest song so far. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPC7 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 It's like the best parts of Coldplay all in one epic song. Really beautiful โค 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCF Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 A little early as I need better speakers tomorrow but it might top Arabesque as (imo) the best thing they've done since Violet Hill. Not the track I would listen non stop given its lengthย but looks like a WONDERFUL way to close the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskapist Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Wow... i was not expecting to hear that after Higher Power and My Universe. This is such a great, dreamy progressive song... Some parts are really inspired by Moving to Mars, which is one of their most underrated songs.ย I just love it... But f*ck. We could have had a whole progressive album like Coldplay's Dark Side of The Moon... just imagine!! But Iย won't complain and I'm gonna enjoy one of the best songs they released in years... Thank you my 4 british friends ( 5 i love you too phil ) ? ย 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I honestly donโt even know what to say. Thatโs the first Coldplay song thatโs left me speechless sinceโฆ I donโt even know. My god, what a masterpiece.ย 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldplay themselves branded it as an album track, but just for the sake of not having Wikipedians slip everything under Singles, I placed it on the Promotional section. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskapist Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I think this is a special moment for us coldplayers, all over the world. If this is the last song they ever release, I can say I would be happy about it.ย 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiko Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Glorious. I feel it like a mix of Moving to Mars with Pink Floydโs Brain Damage 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Very very very surprise to hear this on this album. After Higher Power, you wouldnโt think youโll get this.ย Maybe within the context of the ablution itโll make more sense.ย 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flugelhorn Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Have just signed up so I could give my response to Coloratura.ย ย First listen, wow, just left me speechless. Had to go back and listen again.ย ย 2nd listen loved it even more. Hearing so many different elements of coldplay across there career. Hearing bits of all my other favourite actsย too, like Beatles, Radiohead, Queen, Pink Floyd, Bjork,ย Kraftwerk.ย ย Onto my forth listen now, this is one of the strongest songs they have ever made. A true masterpiece. Canโt wait for the rest of the album.ย 9 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSomeone Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Itโs almost surreal that they have released this song essentially out of nowhere. Itโs beautiful. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Politikian Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 For some reason because of Overatura I was under the impression thatย โin this crazy world I do, I just want youโ was a part of the Infinity Sign songโฆ I guess that song will be something completely different though. I have no words forย Coloratura. 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaes Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Even if all the other songs on the album were terrible (which I'm sure won't happen), it is saved by this beautiful thing. Coloratura is amazing. We live in a beautiful world. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaFeehily Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I really hope they'll remove the ad in the middle of the song on YouTube. The ones at the beginning and end should be enough. It was a weirdย interruption while listening. Honestly, Iย think that if they cut a song like this down to 3-4mins and released as aย single that it would actually do better than HP. This style suits them as a bandย so much better in my opinion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
