Coldplay officially revealed their new single today on BBC Radio 1.
The whole band were in the live lounge giving “violet hill” its first airplay.
According to singer Chris Martin, they want to make the album better than ever rather than bigger.
Quite a wise move as the last album wasn’t up to scratch.
The new single is available as a free download for a week. However the Coldplay website crashed shortly after its release.

In June 2007, Muse played one the new Wembleys first sold out concerts. Their performance underlined why they are one of the UK’s most successful bands as they played all of their hits from the album, Black Holes and Revelations.
If you were unlucky enough not to be there, then select Vue cinemas are screening the concert for a short time. There is the added bonus of Dolby Digital Surround Sound and High Definition. So this should be one show to enlighten the senses.
