Coldplay Head To “Paradise” On New Single, Reveal Rihanna Collaboration

It’s a good start to the week for those in the Chris Martin/Gwyneth Paltrow household, given that the former’s band Coldplay have unveiled “Paradise,” their second single off upcoming album Mylo Xyloto, and the latter has a brand new Emmy to add to the mantle (and, not to mention, the #1 movie at the box office). Another reveal for Martin’s band: album track “Princess Of China” will be a collab with Rihanna. Hear “Paradise” below.“Paradise” is a far moodier affair than previous single “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall,” with dramatic strings and chords and just the right touch of melancholy for the onset of the fall season.That said, Martin makes lyrical reference to Coldplay’s sunny summer jam in their new offering: “Life goes on it gets so heavy, the wheel breaks the butterfly / every tear a waterfall, in the night, the stormy night she closed her eyes.”
