In addition to a busy day of Press, Coldplay was inducted into 102.1 the Edge's at Rock of Fame this afternoon before heading back to the Bell Media Building where they did an interview with 104.5 CHUM-FM and a Soundcheck in the rain before Fans who watched from Queen St., which was later closed-off for the Concert.

Zipping through an hour-long Set which highlighted their 15-year Catalogue, hoards of Fans who braved the rain, were treated to an array of Hits including Clocks, Viva la Vida, Fix You and their latest Single, Every Teardrop is a Waterfall - complete with Fireworks!

VIDEO PREMIERE: COLDPLAY - EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

Still from Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

I'm definitely loving this era of Coldplay after having been in the doldrums for a bit for their last couple Discs. The Band released this new Video for latest Single Every Teardrop is a Waterfall this morning, a four-minute long splash of Technicolour and stop-motion fun. And it doesn't hurt that Chris Martin has lost the messy Mop which - let's all be honest - wasn't working for him.  

Coldplay's fifth Disc tentatively is slated for later this year.  The Single already has peaked at number 14 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Watch the Video below:

NEW MUSIC: COLDPLAY - EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

I admit that some of Coldplay's recent material didn't strike a chord with me, but this new Single Every Teardrop is a Waterfall fully redeems them in my books. And believe me, I loved their first two Discs Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head, v. much.

Just released earlier today digitally on iTunes, the Track is heavier rhythmically and a bit more Synth-heavy than what we're accustomed to from them. I'm in favour of this latest evolution for the Band. Can't wait to hear more from this upcoming fifth Album.

VIDEO PREMIERE: COLDPLAY - CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

Beautiful. Although I am a huge Fan of Coldplay's first two albums Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head, something hasn't been there on their last two efforts XY and Viva La Vida, for me. 

This new sweeping Christmas tune Christmas Lights is a reminder why Coldplay is at their best with simple Production and a nice Melody. It's tender and just wonderful. The track is now available on iTunes.
