A clip of the brand new Coldplay single, 'Atlas' has been revealed online. It was initially available for a short time via Apple's official website, but you can click here to listen to the preview from entertainment website PerezHilton.com now. Let us know what you thought of the preview (or indeed if you'd rather wait for the full song tomorrow) at the Atlas sub-forum on the messageboard now. [thanks Tash, tickkle & Blue Nails]Music wesbite Gigwise listened to it and described it as, "downbeat and melancholy, on a delicate piano ballad which bears all the hallmarks of Coldplay at their finest."The full track will debut on radio stations across the world from 11am EST (4pm GMT) including Absolute Radio in the UK. If you know of any local stations to you, please post the listen live links for other Coldplayers to access. [thanks Jenjie]Atlas preview: Listen to 1m30s clip courtesy of PerezHilton.com:
Earlier in the week, the iTunes Editors´Notes preview page described the track as, "After opening with a somber, sparely accompanied melody, "Atlas" blooms with gauzy production and sweeping percussion. The track, Coldplay`s first new studio recording since 2011´s grandiose Mylo Xyloto, is an aptly cinematic theme song for the forthcoming second instalment of The Hunger Games series."
