'Magic' by Coldplay

Following the release of mysterious buzz single 'Midnight' the other day, Coldplay have finally unveiled what they've been working on. The English band's upcoming studio album Ghost Stories is due out May 19th, and with the album going up for pre-order on iTunes the group have released the first single.

'Magic' is much more the usual Coldplay than 'Midnight' was, but at the same time it's quite different than what they crafted for Mylo Xyloto. 'Magic' is a much more tangible, and earthy sound relying on guitars and drums to carry the song. But the song isn't without a mystical element to it that makes it uniquely anthemic in true Coldplay fashion. This sounds very '90s easy rock which I love so I'm excited to see what this new album has in store for us.
