I wouldn’t be surprise as Orphans is really more radio friendly and closer to AHFOD sound. I feel like causal Coldplay fans might not get Arabesque? ‍*shrugs*

Did they?! Oh man that’s cool. Thought for sure we’ll be forgotten. Haha.

I feel sorry for Orphans. It would be a great song if it didn't come out with Arabesque. Lol. Btw, how does one pronounce Arabesque? I keep saying Albuquerque in my head. :no_mouth:

Can you imagine this being performed at Glastonbury. Oh man. Goosebumps.

Interesting that they’re wearing ‘regular’ clothes and not similar clothes in the poster.

Man, I really need to hear When I Need a Friend.

Coldplay website.

Really really curious now as to how the rest of the album will sound like. Arabesque on the sunrise side and Orphans on the sunset is surprising. From their respective sounds, I would think it would be the other way round. I was expecting the album to sound like the sounds of Orphans so thank god for Arabesque. But will Arabesque would be a one off like Midnight? Man, I hope not. Cause if Arabesque is a hint of how the rest of sunrise will sound like, this album will be cracking.

I find it weird that you have this tragic lyrics to a pop song. It's weird?

I like it. Better than most of the songs in AHFOD. Haha. I honestly expected the whole album to sound like this. But thank god for Arabesque. Heh

Haha yes! Glad we got both side then. Heh

One of the best songs since Cemeteries of London. That brass section. My god. I have no words to describe the feeling it gives me. I literally had goosebumps when I first heard it. Teared up too. My only complain is the sax part. I feel that was a little over the top. But I'm sure it'll grow on me. Btw can anyone translate the French part?

I feel like we should have separate threads for the songs. If it hasn’t been done already.

Can’t wrap my mind around Arabesque. Fucking brilliant

I’m kinda surprise that Arabesque is on the sunrise side. Would have thought it would be the other way round.

Well I’ll be. Arabesque

Is it just me or is the sound quality on Spotify horrible? The songs are so soft!

Listening to it on Spotify! I’m crying.

So I’m just gonna wait for the official release. But when it was said that it’s an experimental album, from what you guys heard so far, is it really experimental or Coldplay’s version of experimental?

Looks like I missed a few things....

Yeah me too. And the whole jazz band thing. Cause it doesn’t fit with the Arabic theme they have going as well.

Oh btw I hope someone will be recording Chris’ interview on BBC radio 1!

One of the perks of being in NZ, the next 10hrs won’t be a drag as I’ll be asleep for most of it. So nice to wake up to new Coldplay. :grinning:

Here’s hoping! Haha
