As you may have recently noticed, radio listeners, Coldplay's latest album "Mylo Xyloto" has become quite the hit spawner. "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" did really good, but "Paradise" is doing even better. Wanna know why? Because the boys finally went pop.
Their newest record features their most radio-friendly tunes ever.Among them the beautiful "Princess of China" featuring vocals by none other than Rihanna herself. (That Rihanna reign just won't let up).
"Princes of China" is scheduled for release on Feb. 14, Valentine's Day. Quite tragic, when you really think of it. The song features Rihanna and Chris Martin reflecting over a love that could have been so great, but something along the way changed that, and everything went awry.
"Could've been a princess, you'd be the king / Could've had a castle and worn a ring / but no / you let me go" Rihanna aka the Princess of China (Don't ask me why in the world it's China) sings in the song's nostalgic chorus.
This song has about as many synthesizers as Demi Lovato's standout track "Unbroken" and that's saying something for anybody, but especially for an alt-rock band.
The amazing song closes with a hurt-sounding Chris Martin and Rihanna repeating "'Cause you really hurt me / Yeah, you really hurt me."
The best part of the song, though, might even be the delicious, anthemic "oh oh oh ohhhhhs" found in the son'g intro. Just. So. Good!
"Paradise" was amazing and all but this song is just next level ish!
