Coldplay - Ghost Stories (upcoming album)

         A NEW ALBUM BY COLDPLAY YOU SAY? 

YES PLEASE! Coldplay are set to release their new album, Ghost Stories in mid-May 2014.
Rumors have spread that the album will be similar to their old stuff, like 'A Rush of Blood to the Head', my favourite album! I have high hopes for this album and don't want to be disappointed.
9 tracks had already been confirmed :

1.  Always in my Head
2. Magic
3. Ink
4. True Love
5. Midnight
6. Another's Arms
7. Oceans
8. A Sky Full of Stars
9. O

So far Coldplay have released 2 songs, 'Midnight', and 'Magic' but performed two other singles 'Another's Arms' and 'Always in my Head' at the iTunes music festival which were both accepted with great enthusiasm by fans.
Their first surprise single of the album, Midnight was released a couple of weeks ago and was greated with mixed responces. The song is dark and is complimented  by a music video directed by Mary Wigmore (who also directed the video to 'The Hardest Part'). The video reached 1 million views in less than 6 hours. It seems almost as if they did a 'Beyoncé' on their suprise release of this song. Well played, boys.

I, myself wasn't entirely fond of the song. It shows a completely new side of the band and takes a sharp turn from the previous upbeat, 'pop'ish album Mylo Xyloto (also greeted with mixed reviews). I have further hope for this album, however.

Their latest single, 'Magic' is far more to my liking. Wow, I love this tune. It has been accepted very well by fans and seems to be doing quite well in the charts.

Recently Coldplay have joined up with Target to release a deluxe version of Ghost stories that includes 3 bonus tracks:

1. All Your Friends
2. Ghost Story
3. O (Part 2)

I have high hopes for this album. I will be waiting patiently and hope it lives up to its expectations!!
