Coldplay Announces Release Date for 'Ghost Stories,' Drops New Single 'Magic'
Coldplay has quietly unveiled “Magic,” the first single from their anticipated new album "Ghost Stories."
The album, the British band’s sixth, will arrive May 19 via Parlophone/Atlantic Records. Fans who pre-order "Ghost Stories" will receive an instant download of the new single, which can be streamed at youtube.com/coldplay.
News of Coldplay’s new album release comes a week after the outfit dropped the atmospheric track "Midnight" -- and its trippy clip.
"Magic," like "Midnight," is a more introspective production which veers well away from the radio-geared, stadium-rock works which helped make Coldplay a household name.
"Ghost Stories" is the Chris Martin-fronted group’s first album since 2011's "Mylo Xyloto." In August of last year, the band released "Atlas" from the soundtrack of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
A deluxe edition of the "Ghost Stories" CD, featuring three bonus tracks, is available exclusively from Target at target.com/coldplay.
Coldplay will support the album with a headline slot on the opening night of the inaugural US iTunes Festival at SXSW on March 11. The performance will be streamed live and on-demand worldwide for free via the iTunes Store.
Track-Listing for "Ghost Stories":
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

Haha, apparently nobody wants to discuss this. I really liked "Midnight" but I'm so-so on "Magic". I can't wait to hear the album, though; MX was a disappointment to me and it seems they are pulling as much of a complete 180 as they can. I'm more interested to hear what they songs sound like in a live setting. Ever since X&Y they've usually sounded much better live than on the albums.

"Midnight" is truly one of the most god-awful songs I've heard from anyone. It's like a soulless, tuneless Bon Iver.
It's really weird. This band went from being a blatant Bends-era Radiohead knockoff to sounding like U2 to trying to sound like Arcade Fire to trying to be a pop band. Their constant reinvention would be admirable if the songs weren't so bad.

Yep. And the lyrics to "Magic" are so, so bad. I mean, I know Martin hasn't historically been the most competent lyricist, but yeesh.

Do you actually like this stuff, Stickman, or is your job related to posting random stuff on the internet? I mean, if you do like it, great. I'm just wondering.
