With the success of Coldplay’s 2008 smash hit album “Viva la Vida”, many wonder if the superstars who wrote hits such as as “Yellow”, “The Scientist”, the Grammy Award-winning “Clocks”, can do it again. I’m almost positive they won’t disappoint. Considering they have not only sold over 50 million albums and singles worldwide, but have also succeeded in every album they’ve ever released being certified platinum, I’m pretty confident that we’re in for another classic Coldplay record.
The upcoming album, “Mylo Xyloto” is set to be released over a month from now. Regardless, it continues to climb the charts with pre-orders from the iTunes store (currently sits at #9) . According to MTV news, the band has already begun to debut new songs off of the album such as “Parachute” and the ballad “Up In Flames” which was played for the first time last night in Austin, TX. Sounds pretty good to me. Watch the video below to judge for yourself.
Check back for a review when the new album “Mylo Xyloto” drops October 24.
