[Music] Coldplay or Hotplay ?




I think Coldplay should change their name as Hotplay, as they have made lots of great songs since “Yellow”.
Back to first album?
Midnight, the first single released from their 6th album “Ghost Stories” leaves a lot of questions to fans. “Is it Coldplay’s song ? There are only their silhouettes in the video, and they really like strolling ghost.” The second single “Magic” , the official leading single, dismiss these questions.

Coldplay push their limits again and again, never stop trying new indigents on their music,(for instance, feature Rihanna is so so surprising that no one cares about how awful their music video is) and this is the reason make them get into one of the famous band line. At this time, U can tell they use electronic drums in their 2 new singles. Does the big band of the world, namely Radiohead and Muse, always comes to electronic music side at the end?

Their first and second album are my favorite albums of Coldplay, somepeople said “Magic” brings Coldplay back. Let’s wait and see on 19thMay.

Big Band & Great Artist
To be honest, the thing of the “Magic” caught my eyes at the first sight is the fabulous cover, not Chris’s voice. Coldplay had a great artist Míla Fürstová creat the cover. She had kept this secret for over one year since January 2013 invited by Coldplay to work on their album cover.(I believe it’s a huge relief that she can speak it out now. She is a great secret keeper.)

Míla Fürstová, an artist specializes in etching, born in Czechoslovakia, and is an award winning internationally exhibited artist, who has shown in 20 solo shows in many countries including Britain, USA, France and the Czech Republic over the last decade. She said” My work is an intimate portrayal of the human soul explored through the medium of etching, expressed in a distinctly female voice.”

The cover she created for Coldplay is filled with many delicate details and her others works are as well. Check her website and u will understand what I am talking about.
