Coldplay is the least popular Most Popular Band in the World of all time. There’s a long list of possible explanations, including but not limited to the ever-increasing diversification of pop music, hip-hop brainwashing teenage suburbanites into buying turntables instead of guitars, and of course, global warming. But the main one seems to be a general unwillingness for anyone to admit liking Coldplay even though everyone has “Clocks,” “Speed Of Sound,” and “Viva La Vida” on his or her iPod. I openly confess that I would never openly identify myself as a Coldplay [...]
As Rihanna just guest starred on Mylo Xtylo cut “Princess of China”, it was time for Coldplay to return the favor. The Brits have covered Ri’s smash hit, “We Found Love”, and have broken it down to a swell, piano-fueled ballad. Of course recorded at BBC Radio 1.
Current pop overlords and B-Sides fave, Coldplay, have cleansed themselves of all the typical associations attached to them (i.e. following the footsteps of insert successful pop band of the 60/s/70’s/80’s ) and have decided to reboot their music and image. The result of which is their 5 th studio release, Mylo Xyloto . Initiallly, the album was to be arranged as a stripped down, acoustic driven album, but with the recording of their current single, “Paradise”,the direction of the album changed to synth. Territory their album producer/collaborative composer, Brian Eno, is very familiar with. [...]
Stream Coldplay's new single feat Rihanna, "Princess of China", below from their soon to be released Mylo Xyloto out October 24.
Coldplay. Rihanna. Need I say more? Before you hate, hit play and intake. Listen to “Princess of China” at least two or three times. After you have ultimately decided you like it (and likely you will), you must then discard it from your mind because it’s gonna be all over the radio like my dog on a hamburger. On another note, still not sure what to make of Mylo Xyloto as a whole.
Ever since it's announcement, one of the major talking points of Coldplay's upcoming Mylo Xyloto has been its collaboration with Rihanna. It's hardly a secret any more that the record is shaping up to Coldplay's more direct pop record to date, so in some ways it's fitting to draft in its leading lady to lend a hand. Beginning with a shuddering synth riff, Martin and Rihanna exchange verse before it all melts into a sugary-sweet Rihanna-led chorus. It has the usual "ooooh's" and "aaaah's" now commonplace in Martin's biggest songs. Rihanna's voice is also softer than on [...]
So, Coldplay's track with Rihanna, Princess of China, has leaked and it's causing some contention between fans. I is a rather unlikely pairing but one that has proven to be something rather exciting for both. Some call it too pop laced and devoid of Coldplay's usual edge, Rihanna on the song doesn't help much either. I think it's a strong contender from what I've heard off the album, it's different and Coldplay's new direction will see them gain more exposure and now a song with Rihanna? It's an undoubted fact. The 24th of October is almost [...]

Coldplay called up Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive for this track from their upcoming LP 'Mylo' in stores October 24th. "The album is designed as a whole piece. It has boy and girl lead characters and top of our list for the girl part was Rihanna, but it took a while to pluck up the courage to ask her. We did a show in Las Vegas and I met her and said, 'Do you think there's any chance?' I was very Hugh Grant-like and spluttering about it. She has such an [...]
One of the more anticipated releases of 2011, Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto is set to hit shelves on October 24th - and this has been by and large the most hyped up jam on the tracklist. Generally when two enormous superstars attempt to fuse their talents, the results are a mixed bag. The hype is behind this - does it live up to expectations? Check out what Chris Martin had to say on the collab, "The album is designed as a whole piece. It has boy and girl lead characters and top of our list for the girl part was Rihanna, [...]
With the Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterfalls and the Para-Para-Paradises, it seems Coldplay really are clasping, cuddling and canoodling all those clinical hooks and connotations of the chart-topping pop band. Like the hip-hop royalty of Jay-Z and Kanye West before her, here's the tenth track from the upcoming fifth album Mylo Xyloto which features a cameo from Princess of Pop Rihanna, and an all encompassing Umbrella beat to match. As with Chris Martin's previous effort for Jamelia , it's a well written pop song benefiting from pristine production and serves its purpose equally well, since [...]

Finally, finally, finally, been waiting on C-Play to try something a bit more electro, dance, r&b, anything, anything to change-up that formula for vanilla bean they've been using for 10+ years, "Princess of China", which features Rihanna(!) is hopefully the first step in a direction, any direction, that is even remotely different or interesting.

Another year, another Rihanna studio LP. Yeap, Rihanna's LOUD era is not even a year old but the Bajan is moving forward with a brand new album/era. Originally, there was to be a LOUD re-release but just the other day Rihanna confirmed the new album's existence and confirmed its release for this Fall, yesterday. Of course with a new album from Rihanna, there's a look to match. Rih is taking a step in a more natural direction but most importantly is what will the music sound like? The Pop chameleon has tackled a great deal of [...]
Llevamos ya varios meses hablando, comentando, criticando y emocionándonos con el nuevo disco de Coldplay , un álbum de nombre dificilmente pronunciable titulado Mylo Xyloto que será editado el 24 de octubre y representará la quinta producción de estudio para esta agrupación. El cuarteto, siempre inteligente en asuntos de marketing, ha logrado atraer la atención de todo el mundo hacia este lanzamiento a través de estrenos constantes de canciones, revelaciones de portadas y nombres, en fin, todo lo posible. Ahora la banda ha [...]
After releasing their newest song last Friday, Coldplay have already given us a better preview of their forthcoming 5th LP. Although the new songs are live, they sounds pretty good. I've always been a believer that the band sounds awesome live in person but horrible live on video... so I'll take it as a good sign that these don't sound like shit. Check out 4 new songs titled Hurts Like Heaven, Major Minus, Us Against The World, & Princess of China.
