Thanks to the unexpected success of the epic single "Viva La Vida", Coldplay's album of the same name had the third-highest first week sales of any album in the United States.
Now, they are back with their third single "Lost!", which is a far cry from their previous two singles. In fact, and I might get blasted for this, this is their most pop-sounding moment ever.
How does an alt-rock band go for CHR? Behind Chris Martin's distinctive vocals, you put a kick drum, a church organ, and hand claps, the new pop music staple . What you get is a surprisingly rhythm-based song from a band known for being charmingly off-beat.
You know a band is talented when they make pop sound cooler than people think it is.
Rating: 8/10
P.S.: Want to know something funny? This song, which will have its radio release next week, is not being sent to pop radio.
