New Coldplay!!!!!
Filed under: Anglophilia > Listen To This > Coldplay
Gwyneth Paltrow may be an insufferable douche, but her husband is a genius.
Chris Martin is back and better than ever!
His band's new single has dropped today and it is Coldplay at its best, a beautiful fusion of melody and melancholy.
Check out the exquisite Violet Hill below!
Thoughts?????

have always loved everything they've done and this is a great single. absolutely love them!!!!!
OBAMAZ AFRAID OF A GIRL
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
LOZER
Loveeeee it! Hes great with everything.
Yay for Coldplay.
Some should let him out of that giant can he's "singing" in. So is this supposed to be a tribute to the Beatles or is it just a ripoff of their sound? Or is it a tribute to Oasis doing a tribute to the Beatles? Either way, it sucks ass.
second!
AND HE HAZ SUN GLAZZEZ ON?????????
I FREAKING LOVE CHRIS MARTIN!!!
first?
Sounds like a cross between U2 and Alan Parsons Project.
Coldplay has got to be the most boring band of the century.
So great!
It is said he is interested in flirting online with a hot girl on "million airefri ends com", because his friend found the great love of his life there.

Beautiful song…can't wait for the whole CD to drop..
Love it!! But it wont let me download it from the coldplay website for some reason
Usually love Coldplay but not feeling this song.
sounds like a hit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kinda blows…
a bit Beatle-like
Perez, thanks for keeping us on the edge of the best new music that comes down your way. I'm yet to be disappointed.
Short, but classic Coldplay…..GREAT.
Re: MATT FREAKIN LAUER IZ IN AMZTERDAM –

iz uga=ly…..NBC…I want my pazzionz back now..bitchezzzzz.
I won't watch your channel until it happenzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The only reason Coldplay has any fame is because of the seemingly superior band, Travis, paved the way for them. Chris Martin is only good for getting into a studio, hitting record and whining into a microphone for 12 tracks.
nope.
don't like it
OMG I LOVE COLPLAY THEY ARE AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!
I usually like their stuff, but for a single, this is BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING
STILL TERRIBLE!
they couldn't pay me to download this album!
i downloaded In Rainbows and bought NIN Ghosts
My favorite albums this and last year were Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam, Arcade Fire's Neon Bible, and Phantom Planet's Raise the Dead.
But if you can't keep up with them, you don't deserve to be alive.
Its AWESOME - you dont even need to listen more than 10 sec. and you know itll be amazing !
I always love their lyrics… but his voice sounds like nasal whine.
LOVE IT! It gets better the more you listen to it. Especially love the guitars. Good sign of what's to come with the album… can't wait to hear the rest. Now I just need to bag one of those free concert tickets!
Keep us posted Perez!
LOVE IT!
BTW ………….. Hillary in 2008!!!
COMPLETE RIP OFF!

Great song!
Not bad, sounds a little Jack White-ish.
Re: i LOVE PEREZZZZZZZ – We fucking get it!!! Obama doesn't want to debate Hiliary! I'm mean…..he's only debated her 100 fucking times already!!!! SHUT UP and stick to the posts subject!!!!!
Meh. It's ok.
I really love Coldplay's sound, and it's nice to see Yoko 'Trow-no hasn't destroyed the music.
I wouldn't have beef with her, because I think her star has faded and I felt sorry after her father passed, but after she moved to London and trashed New York (comparing the West Village to "Disneyland") I have no more time for her. I wish buying his music wasn't lining her pockets, but oh well….
VERY DISAPPOINTING. BORRRRRRRRRRRRRING.
Total fucking rubbish. Someone's been hanging out with Noel Gallagher too much and listening to too much Bob Dylan.
Awful.
Boreing!!!!
insufferable douche? Right on the money there sister
Love you
IT'S PERFECTION! It was worth the wait!
Perez, why are you not reminding people that they can get this song as a free download this week at coldplay.com??
This song is great!
love it!!! soo coldplay. i love that he keeps the piano in it. not many groups still do. thanks perez for keeping us updated on music!
To Citygal–TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU..what's really bad..1 of my all time favorite songs is GREEN EYES..after Chris got got with Goko - he said that he would never perform that song again (song was written for his ex)..I saw then perform on Jone Beach (best concert ever) and such a shame…
Sounds just like the melody from Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Chicago"
how amazing are they!!
Im going to that free concert
this is not a great single! it's ok but nothing that blows my mind! and I agree "The Martins" are true douche bags *BOTH OF THEM*, hope the rest of the cd is better
FANTASTIC!
Great music, only problem - they ripped off Eric Clapton.
Listen to Clapton and see if you agree.
I love it
Fantastic!Coldplay is brilliant!
Haters! Cease! Coldplay's new song is awesome! They are consistently creative, innovative and amazingly talented. They sell records, period. I love the new song! LOVE IT!!!!
love it
AVERAGE
Love It!! Thanks Perez
I LOVE IT. This is why coldplay has been my favorite band since parachutes. Thank God they're reverting to their old ways.
wow. they're just as awesome as ever. sooo excited for the new album, love his voice, sound, piano, melancholy, EVERYTHING!!
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! IF THEY PLAY IN NYC, IM ALL OVER IT….. THEY ARE MY MOST FAVORITE BAND
Liam Gallagher from Oasis will be screaming "U Fookin' Ripped us Off"! The sound is VERY Oasis, and reminds me of "What's the Story Morning Glory".
Beautiful! It's brilliant - they keep getting better with each album! I love them!!!
fucking amazing! I love chris martin
Sorry I don't like it at all!
I DON'T LIKE IT, IT'S SO WHATEVER
nice very nice
I love the song, but i dont think it'll be a hit like some of their other ones.
Chris Martin is sooo Talented, I saw him in concert and it was amazing! Love him. Hope he and Gwenny divorce so he has some new material to write about. Too bad she is such a lame ass bitch though…
Damn how I love Chris, he's so a genius !
And he's not ugly stop your craps bitches
WOOOOOOOOOOW!!! I LOVE COLDPLAY!!
YEAAAAAH!
BIGGEST FAN EVER
awesome song and very different

unbelievably fanntastic!
I love Coldplay, they rock my socks off. Chris is amazing, Gwenth is a lucky women, with a man like that I would want him to sing me to sleep everynight.
I gave it another listen still hate it more now than ever.
I'm so not liking that. Funny how they picked this week to drop the single. I think the whole pansy band are riding on Gwyneth career.
thought it was awesome!
nicely done chris martin and band
thanks for letting me know perez!!
As always, Coldplay and Chris Martin make GREAT music. I have loved them since their huge hits Yellow and Trouble. I have every CD, and his voice, meloncholy and sweet, just touches my soul. Their music - from lyrics to instrumental - allow you to just sit back and enjoy, no matter the context you are in!!!! As with all musicians, and Genres some will love them or hate them. I just happen to LOVE coldplay! Downloading the FREE song now.
I'd hardly call Chris Martin a "genius". Listen to Team Sleep and Deftones, people. Chino Moreno is as close to a musical genius as our generation will ever get. (I personally feel he is one).
