cool new song! and im 99% sure he's not lipsyncing Clocks on this one!

This but Paradise and The Scientist instead of Orphans and Clocks

Hate to be that guy but I think we might be getting Mylo Xylotwo as LP9. Nothing wrong with it tho. After GS and AHFOD I actually learned to appreciate much more MX. I't s a pretty good pop/rock record. I really really hope they keep Trouble in Town for the next tour. Sadly I don't think it mixes up very well with the feel good vibes the band usually wants for their stadium shows.

I think a BTS track feat. Chris Martin would make more sense but, after SJLT, I have learned that Coldplay is not afraid at all to collaborate with any act that is "trendy".

Yup. HLH, Charlie Brown, Major Minus are perfect examples of this. Oh well, the good thing is the song sounds even better live!

All these reactions feel like a deja vu from 10 years ago when ETIAW was released. I don't really know what people expected from a Max Martin produced song other than a pop banger. I was pleasant surprised with how the song turned out tbh. As an Oldplayer, I have come to terms with the fact that, in my opinion, the band peaked sometime between the X&Y and VLV eras. Most of their recent output (bar Everyday Life as a whole) doesn't really appeal to my current musical taste anymore and that's fine.

Apple's vocals have been credited in Higher Power so I'm sure Moses will make an appearance on at least one track on LP9.

Don't think they would ever collaborate with another proper band. Doesn't seem like their thing. Arlo Parks would be cool. She has a very smooth voice.

Yeah. Ever since 2015-2016 I think the general public has learned to at least tolerate Coldplay. Songs like Paradise, ASFOS, AOAL, HFTW and SJLT have certainly helped with this. After AHFOD was released I was actually worried they were going to keep pushing in that direction and eventually make music I consider dull like some other contemporary pop rock bands (the worst one being Maroon 5 imo). Thankfully we got Everyday Life and now I'm ready for whatever Popplay has to offer. I know I'm probably not going to like all of it but they seem convinced this is the direction they have t

Oh I def see it coming now. That's probably going to be the big hit on LP9.

is such a chill song! Chris vocals are quite awesome. Glad I gave it a chance.

I like it! what a relief lol

actually hyped for this. we'll see how it goes...

Yeah I found the one on Tik tok as well. Yikes. Def not my favorite 15 seconds in a Coldplay song lol. Btw, when was the last time a non-collab Coldplay single had so much promotion? Must have been VLV or Paradise.

I really want to see if they explored a bit more into the Moving to Mars, A L I E N S, AICTAIY direction on the upcoming album. Those have been the highpoints of Newplay for me. Btw, not sure if anyone has pointed it out before but this channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/breanchu/videos has been uploading some really good and rare bootlegs starting from the Parachutes era. Currently in the VLV era now.
