Coldplay compared new album to musical

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin revealed some thoughts about the band's upcoming album Mylo Xyloto. Singer claimed that he likes new record very much, and compared it to musical.

"Our new record is sort of a story – it's not quite a musical, but it's dangerously close", said he.

Chris Martin also claimed that his favorite track from Mylo Xyloto is the song Princess Of China, recorded in collaboration with Rihanna.

"When the song came out, it sort of asked for her to be on it. And I think at this point, we have nothing to lose, and so we've been trying some new things and trying to break down the perceived boundaries between different types of music", claimed Martin.

Coldplay official blog earlier revealed some information about two new songs by the band. Speaking about the first one, named Up In Flames, musician who runs it wrote: "It was hypnotic in its simplicity, but devastatingly, achingly gorgeous. The final version has lost none of this and is a masterwork of restraint".

He also stated that the second composition – DLIBYH – is "absolutely different".
