Yesterday Coldplay released a new song/music video called “Midnight” out of no where. There’s no word on whether or not it’s going to appear on their eventual follow up album to Mylo Xyloto.
“Midnight” takes things in a new direction, as the band toys around with some vocal effects that give the song a very heavy Imogen Heap feel. It’s definitely a new direction for the band, and made that much more interesting considering that “Atlas” (their contribution to the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack) was a bit of the old school Coldplay sound.
I have a feeling “Midnight” is going to get a mixed reaction from fans, but for those open and willing to see a band gravitate towards a new sound, they will be in for a treat.
Enjoy “Midinght” below. The video was directed by Mary Wigmore.
