Coldplay is back with a new single titled ‘Higher Power,’ their first release in two years.  In a tweet to promote their new release, the band writes, “‘Higher Power’ is a song that arrived on a little keyboard and a bathroom sink at the start of 2020.  It was produced by Max Martin, who is a true wonder of the universe.”

 

 

 

Coldplay premiered both the track and the video in space – they first shared it with French ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet.  Thomas also showed the band the view from the ISS and when Chris Martin asked ‘how he feels about Earth and its people while flying above it,’ Thomas revealed, “It’s amazing how small and kind of finite and fragile the Earth is.  From space, you can clearly see it’s an oasis, it’s a ball, it’s self-contained. Everything we have is here and there’s nothing else anywhere else. So you have to use your resources wisely. You have to share, you have to work together.”

 

 

 

Coldplay is set to perform this Sunday (May 9) on American Idol, they will also perform on May 11 at the 2021 Brit Awards, and on May 22, will headline the Glastonbury Festival’s virtual livestream.
