Well, they promised us different, and I can confirm that Coldplay have delivered something different. But is it good? Hell yeah.
Even speaking as a determined Coldplay hater, Violet Hill sounds dark, foreboding, and heavy. Less of the piano-sturbation, and Chris Martin retires the falsetto in favour of a more earthy vocal tone.
Misery-rockers Coldplay are to release their new single Violet Hill as a free download which will be available from their website from 12:15pm today. Presumably the timing is to coincide with the radio premiere of the song on Jo Whiley’s radio show this morning.
Jo’s show runs until 12:45, so I’d imagine you can expect to hear Violet Hill some time around 12:00. Maybe just listen to the whole show to be sure, though - I don’t want you blaming me if you miss it!
