I think I probably said this in my last blog about Coldplay, about two years ago, but what on earth is going on with this band? What happened to them? I always thought they were the most boring band around, but ever since Chris parted ways with Gwyneth it’s like they just turned over a new leaf. Their sound turned positive, they acted out in monkey business, got Bruno Mars and Beyoncé to perform with them and, now, they have teamed up with the unlikely of musical partners, The Chainsmokers.

The song was a surprise release, at least it was to me, and is called “Something Just Like This”. Even though I used to think that Coldplay would always release something predictable (slow and melodic), this song has been an interesting twist to me for their sound.

What I think is such a shame of The Chainsmokers though, is that every song of theirs sounds the same and with Coldplay, they have made no attempt to actually create something original to them. It actually just sounds like they copy-paste their last song onto a Coldplay song.
