Coldplay Debut Brand New Song 'Midnight' - LISTEN

The song sees Chris Martin and co. shift musical direction

Published 25th Feb 2014

After dropping a number of teasers on their Facebook page in recent days, Coldplay have premiered a brand new song called ‘Midnight’.

Very ethereal and experimental, the song is far removed from their trademark stadium filling anthems and showcases another side of Chris Martin and co.

Check out the equally atmospheric video directed by Mary Whigmore right here:

It’s currently unclear whether Midnight is a standalone single or the first tantalising taster of Coldplay’s sixth studio album.

The band’s previous record, October 2011’s ‘Mylo Xyloto’, has sold over 1.4million copies in the UK since its release.

Their last musical output was ‘Atlas’ last autumn lifted from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
