Coldplay - 'Higher Power'

[Cerro de Casa]

Produced by Max Martin. Coming on Friday 7th May.

 

[Pipo]

colour me curious about it
Has Max worked with anybody else for the last 3 years other than Ariana Grande or The Weeknd?? Maybe he could come up with SOMETHING as good as Save Your Tears

 

[Jark]

as if! it will sound like all other Coldplay songs from the last decade!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Kaotica

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I dread to think.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The artwork is already the worst, much like most (if not all) their artwork.

 

[GNL]

Drop the Kaotica oreos Kings.

 

[funky]

I bet this is an electropop album circa The Weeknd.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I mean I'm grateful for everyone going disco and synth, but not this.

 

[rhythmbandit]

That artwork is giving me a headache.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Here's a snippet then.



Worst.

[jivafox]

Coldplay could make a nuclear explosion boring.

 

[Lucille]

Did they write it on their CLINKER?

 

[COB]

Whatever did we do to deserve this slop?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Can we take this opportunity to cancel them?

 

[big ron]

loling at the fact anyone expected Coldplay to be anything other than DOGSHIT.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Can we take this opportunity to cancel them?

Beb we did that 10 years ago

 

[GNL]

Oh Mr Gwyneth Paltrow, not TikTok dance videos.

 

[Pipo]

I much prefer this exclusive snippet

Spoiler: Stupid Power

 

[Pipo]

honestly, it does sound like Coldplay desperately trying to go for a poppier sound, attempting to stay relevant while enlisting one of the best producers in pop music yet failing so miserably at it

Why sad though? This is great news. We can finally FLUSH them

 

[COB]

Didn't they do basically the same thing a few years ago when they collaborated with the Chainsmokers? Seems a bit desperate to me (I mean it'll probably still be a huge hit but still)...

 

[Soldi]

Here's a snippet then.



Worst.

I can’t believe there’s people out there that would buy tickets to that virtual Glastonbury thing. I mean, WHY WOULD YOU? Just find a Coldplay concert on YouTube!

Not to mention it’s the same day as GAY CHRISTMAS, which is FREE!

The worst honestly.

and don't forget Avicii, RIP, with the angles now.

don't @ me but, I genuinely believed that them working with Max could have resulted in something moderately exciting

 

[AGinAg (37)]

So this dropped. Reminds me of Prefab Sprout massacred by Ed Sheeran.

 

[Devil]

Yeah a vague first listen of a bit didn’t do anything for me, and I quite like some of their singles

 

[funky]

Coldplay just single handedly destroyed synthpop

the next ASFM is going to be tricky

If there’s no SYNTHPOP then I may consider a return

Synthpop is amazing. Know your history.

It's the wishy washy Spotify shite that I can't stand.

I like synthpop. It’s just the sheer volume of it that made me lose interest.

 

[funky]

Like with most genres, it's easy to spot the genuinely fun stuff and the cash-grabbing cynical whipped-up-in-five-minutes-using-discarded-production-tracks songs...

house music is awash with chart friendly nonsense but it doesn't stop me loving the good stuff.

 

[OutSynk]

You're so lucky you missed the current one.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Yuck!

 

[Jark]

so crap

I listened to Princess of China afterwards and cleaned myself in a cloud of blissful emo ecstasy

 

[POP!]

I didn't realize they had an album after A Head Full of Dreams. I liked the title track and "Birds" on that one, otherwise it's been slim pickings since "Magic".
