Everyday Life [Gold Vinyl] (LP)

Coldplay's new double album, Everyday Life, is a characteristic effort to find the joy in the increasing negativity of the world. Uplifting and melodic, these are perfect songs for weekend mornings with coffee - for example, “Orphan” with its soaring chorus and overall shimmering sound. The track “Arabesque” stands out however for its darker groove and chugging rhythm, as well as its guest turns from Stromae and Femi Kuti's band; Chris Martin sings in the lower register and the arrangement suits his smooth voice.
