New Coldplay Single - World Exclusive!!!
Brilliant Coldplay mayhem today when Chris and Johnny from the band turned up with the single 'Violet Hill'... I felt we learnt a lot from the interview...Ummm...like how passionately Chris feels about Jayz playing Glastonbury and how annoyed he is with the Glasto knockers... that the band will be playing a free gig in Barcelona as well as Brixton and Madison Square Gardens...and ummm...that's probably about it.
He refused to play in the record himself...refused to say what Violet Hill is about ...refused to answer pretty much any question. They talked about how Brian Eno taught them a lot about life, sex and music and had helped them to make the album they wanted. And they said that they wanted this to be the album that it's ok for people to like. At one time I used to dread interviewing the band because they are so contrary - by they, I guess I mean Chris. You ask questions and you get questions back...but honestly, these days they are the most fun to be around and this morning's chat was full of much laughter...
It must be incredibly scary hearing your song going out on the radio for the very first time - in fact Chris left the studio while it was playing. But the band should be confident - my instinct tells me this is the best thing they've ever done and this album is set to be a classic...
