Coldplay: not quite 'doing a Radiohead', plus album tracklisting
- Artists:
- Coldplay »
Successful indie-rock sorts Coldplay are to make a new track available as a free single, starting from tomorrow.
'Violet Hill' will be available from April 29 (at 12.15pm), for one week, via the band's official website Coldplay.com. It'll receive a 'proper' release in early May, with a seven-inch version of the song coming free with May 7's issue of NME. The seven comes backed with 'A Spell A Rebel Yell'.
The track's taken from the band's new Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends album; try asking for that in HMV after a few afternoon pints. Wanna see its artwork? OKAY.
The album - Coldplay's fourth - is released here on June 12. Tracklisting:
'Life In Technicolor'
'Cemeteries Of London'
'Lost!'
'42'
'Lovers In Japan/Reign Of Love'
'Yes'
'Viva La Vida'
'Violet Hill'
'Strawberry Swing'
'Death And All His Friends'

Share on Facebookits shit, shit, and looks like its been painted
using a cock. Because they're cocks.
it'll probably be quite good
probably
i do like coldplay
but i watched the extras episode with him in the other day and he just irritated me.i know hes supposed to but still.his voice gets on my tit ends!
poor poor
Eugène...
Kahlo is being butchered by these bastards.
But, I do think, this has the potential to be great. Pretentious, but great. Potential.
Why would they use Liberty leading the people
as the artwork , from what I've read its gonna have a Spanish influence
at least these guys changed it up a bit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_La_Revolution
It's probably a smart move for them
Physical singles pretty much always lose money these days. Plus there are thousands of people who probably once really liked them and got turned off by a) their ubiquity and b) X&Y. Giving it for free means people have got no major reason not to give it a pop.
(I know what the inevitable response from many people will be to that last sentence, but you know what I mean)
Loose money?
Really?
yeah, a "spanish influence"
like the last album was supposed to be influenced by kraftwerk and johnny cash. i fucking hate it when bands cite influences they dont sound anything like to try and appear diverse and sophisticated, its desperately pathetic. the most recent example being foals claiming to be influenced by gwen stefani. i dont give a shit if you LIKE her, you don't even remotely SOUND LIKE her. john lydon dug van der graaf generator but it would be pretty stupid to cite them as an influence on the sex pistols
nice...
Well I am all for a freebie, so I'll be downloading it... thanks very much!
no
lose money
kahlo?
whats she got to do wiv anything? the artwork looks nothing like a kahlo - think they just nicked the name of 'er painting, innit. But thats of watermelons or sumfink, right?
Since when is Delacroix spanish??
Liberty leading the people is a french painting, about the french revolution, so how did you get spanish out of french?? Delacroix is also a french painter, just because the coldplay album is in spanish does not have anything to do with the painting or the music for that matter. Next time you should get your information from a credible source, not wikipedia. Get cultured!
