Shortly after releasing a video for the new track, Midnight, Coldplay have announced their new album titled Ghost Stories. It's set for a May 19th release. It's the follow up to 2011's Mylo Xyloto, which got mixed reviews upon release while being the most sold rock record that year in the UK.
Apart from Midnight, we've gotten a second song as well, titled Magic. With the two tracks released it seems as if Ghost Stories will be a downtempo album and might be lacking the more powerful anthem numbers we've seen the band doing before.
Below is A Sky full of Stars, which features Avicii as producer and is the third track released from the album.
It’s haunting, holds great imagery, and throws you back to a Parachutes-esque mindset. I imagine this as the tragic sequel to Sparks.
Can’t wait to hear the full version on the record!
You can watch Coldplay perform Oceans live in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axWQoA1Psh0
Coldplay will be performing songs from Ghost Stories tonight on Canal+ at 7:10pm (GMT) or 8:10pm (GMT+1, Paris time), watch the live footage at: http://www.canalplus.fr/pid3580-c-live-tv-clair.html
I’m so stoked for this!
Loving the new song, Oceans! Sounds like the old Coldplay! Only four songs left to hear: Ink, True Love, A Sky Full Of Stars and O. And of course, the three bonus tracks! Are you guys as excited as I am!!?
The band played a handful of songs from the new album tonight (Oceans, Always in My Head, Magic, Midnight, Another’s Arms – which was streamed live on a German radio station), including the one we haven’t heard yet – A Sky Full of Stars, but asked the fans not to record it. The broadcast also ended before I could hear it. I waited the whole day for this and I got… nothing. Way to go, Coldplay. Nice over-hyping campaign, though.
Surely there has to be a recording from the radio? I’ve been on the hunt but nothing so far.
There is a recording on YouTube, but only until the Encore (they also played The Scientist and A Sky Full of Stars, which we haven’t heard). But everyone said the track was genial and one of the best Coldplay had ever made. They say it’s in the EDM waters.

My bad, didn’t watch it all completely, it’s right before they play it.
No problem!
There are no words that can describe how much I am grateful to you, thank you million times for this!
The “Sky Full of Stars” link seems to be broken now. I suppose they took the file down.
Any others floating around out there?
We won’t allow any new links to it, since its unofficial streams.
The Link still works fine for me.
I know already 7 songs !!!! All of them just AMAZING…
Today Chris had a interview in the bbc radio with Zane Lowe, a one-hour-long chat with some previews of other songs like O. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b041t8vr
When is the preview of the song?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01y5kzt

Someone please leak this album I can’t wait any longer.
Second single A Sky Full of Stars, a collab with Avicii, made its initial appearance Tuesday on YouTube and will be available to download on Friday (5/2)
There’s a rumor that it’s leaked on what.cd. I don’t have an invitation to the site. Can anyone check?
Where did you hear this rumor?
someone check this :)
I stumbled upon a Polish site which offers nine 320 Kbps MP3 files of the album for download, total size 81 MB, hidden behind a door that only opens after giving them your mobile number. Too risky for me.
Sounds fake to me. But, hey, we never know ;)
Don’t fall for those. If they ask of you any kind of your personal info, it’s fake.
One of the reason we do this site = Don’t trust site’s like the one you mentioned. Wait for confirmation from us (= the community)
another great album
do you have it?
no sorry i did not meant it in that way. i meant to say this should be another great album.
Come on and leak already!
