scene.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t get us wrong, <strong>Chris Martin<\/strong> and cohorts have written some beautiful, impossibly-catchy songs over the last decade plus, and certainly can put on a big-top live show.\u00a0 But <strong>Coldplay<\/strong> is never going to be high on the list of the most-inventive, most-influential outfits (at least compared with the aforesaid bands).\u00a0 To wit, the band will next month release new album <strong><em>Ghost Stories.\u00a0<\/em> <\/strong>We&#8217;ve all heard the first tracks from the album, <em><strong>Midnight<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>Magic<\/strong><\/em>, and we at Chez Lefort were soundly unimpressed by the songs and even more concerned than normal about the artistic vitality of the band&#8217;s new album<em><strong><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully the band has today shared another, better song entitled <em><strong>Oceans<\/strong><\/em> via a live performance for <strong>BBC Radio 1<\/strong>, which you can listen to\/watch below.\u00a0\u00a0 The song is particularly compelling given <strong>Martin&#8217;s<\/strong> recent high-profile split with wife <strong>Gwyneth Paltrow<\/strong>.\u00a0 Check out <strong>Martin<\/strong> below singing about a failing relationship amid spare, tasteful backup by the band.\u00a0 His pain is palpable (Paltrowble?).<\/p>\n<p>The band also announced today the release of <strong><em>Coldplay: Ghost Stories<\/em><\/strong>, a 60-minute special that will be broadcast on NBC on <strong>Sunday, May 18th<\/strong> that will mesh live video with &#8220;360-degree imagery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Check out<em><strong> Oceans<\/strong><\/em> below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/axWQoA1Psh0\"
