Coldplay - Higher Power
 

First new material in a good few years... and they've taken a leaf out of the Weeknd's book

Coldplay - Higher Power
 

I don’t hear any similarities to Weeknd at all to be honest .. and I love them both .


Just sounds like the next phase of evolvement from Coldplay .

Not as instantly catchy as some of their earlier stuff but their last album was like that as well .. initially I was underwhelmed but that album is one of my absolute favourites now

weeknd mixed with dancing in the dark. Can't believe these are the same guys that wrote the amazing ROBTTH and Parachutes.

I agree that Parachutes was indeed an amazing collection of songs but they’re just evolving ..

I like all their stuff even though it’s changed so much down the years .

Ghost Stories is absolutely brilliant and so was the last album Everyday Life

They’re losing what made them unique in the first place tbh

There’s a lot to be said for changing with the times surely .. that’s what Madonna has done

They’re still topping the charts , selling out tours ... 17 million followers on Instagram etc

Still going strong after

Coldplay have really outdone themselves after debuting their new song, Higher Power, in space. Chris Martin, Will Champion, Guy Berryman and Jonny Buckland dropped their latest single on Friday morning and it was no ordinary premiere.

The British band enlisted the help of French astronaut Thomas Pesquet for the out of this world stunt, which saw the track being played on the International Space Station (ISS) before being beamed back to Earth via satellite, or, ‘extraterrestrial transmission’ as Pesquet called it.

Of course, Coldplay weren’t able to travel on the ISS themselves – maybe they’re saving that for the next album – but they did get a tour of the spacecraft via video link courtesy of aerospace engineer Pesquet.

In an interview with the astronaut, Chris said: ‘Right now we aren’t able to play for anybody on Earth, so we thought we’d just play for you. It’s like our one-man concert.’

Higher Power is produced by Swedish songwriter and producer Max Martin and the music video sees the band performing the song in front of shipping containers with hologram aliens dancing in front of them.

The musicians joked last week that the track had ‘arrived on a little keyboard and a bathroom sink at the start of 2020’.

Coldplay have a busy schedule coming up as they’re set to perform on American Idol on Sunday before reportedly opening the Brit Awards on Tuesday.

However, the awards ceremony performance will be on slightly steadier ground as it’s reportedly due to take place on the River Thames.

Teasing their performance, a source previously told the Mail Online: ‘Coldplay have been planning this performance for months.
