Hello friends, good vibes to all.
I'm not the biggest Coldplay fan around here, I like them in a very average way but I don't go crazy for them and that has a reason to be: the style of their music. If I were looking for an adjective I think it would be "transcendental ” because they seek to create a very personal and unique connection with those who listen to them with their lyrics. Despite this I understand perfectly their position in the current music scene and why they are so loved and followed. What I do want to confess is that it is one of the few concerts I would like to go to basically because of the brutal experience of going and witnessing all that on a show level. But well, Moon Music. An album that arrives 3 years after “Music of the Spheres” and that supposes a quite remarkable change with respect to what they were doing.
- WE PRAY
When I talk about change I mean that the pop style that we were seeing is not so much in this album and an example of that is this track, one where we see Chris rapping. It may come as a bit of a shock but it's definitely something we're not used to hearing. I would think that the whole construction of this album is much more experimental because the sounds are very different and in the end I think this is one of the least commercial of his recent works. We Pray is a collaboration where they tried to have multicultural representation (Arab, African, Latin, etc.) because of the message they want to give, which is that no matter where you are on the planet if everyone unites under prayer it will be possible to face all the problems and adversities. The sound is catchy, despite the lyrics that are not my thing, it is something that can be listened to perfectly, it is something very alternative, very Coldplay that despite the differences, they do not lose their essence. Another thing and not less important is that this song has at least 3 versions according to the artist, something very interesting to hear.
- GOOD FEELiNGS
Of the songs that are truly Coldplay's signature and stamp is this one, a very cheerful and enjoyable track. It is also a collaboration with Ayra Starr, a singer from Nigeria that sounds really good. The sound is very cool because it feels very funky, to the ear it sounds great and as I said it's a song that can change your mood quickly. There is something that for me is somewhat relevant in this album and that is that Coldplay in the past “abused” much of the interludes, they were very heavy and eternal; here that is not heard something I personally appreciate because it gives more dynamism to the songs. What to say about the lyrics, it is one that tells us about a summer love and that in it good memories and feelings were created and that it would be good not to forget them because they are already part of each one of us. I feel that it is one of the best songs on the album, even though it is one of the songs that is most similar to what is already known about them, both in sound and message, it is one of the coolest songs on the album.

If it is not the previous one it is this one in relation to which would be the best of the disc. This soft rock very characteristic also of Coldplay is one that speaks. again, of love. In fact the whole album is about that, lyrics related to love, justice, compassion, helping the other; if we want to see it in a way it could be even half vindictive with those themes. This song is the typical one that has those choruses that you listen to once and that will probably stay in your head all day long, some verses full of a certain “mood”. I think this new Coldplay, because it is definitely very different, is much more cheerful and has a particular spark that makes it likely that this album will be enjoyed and listened to in other ways. They are always evolving, in their own way but they do it, either with different sounds or with styles and genres that have been little explored. This album is a clear example of that. Is it worth it? - I think so, at least listen to it once to feel the new vibe they bring.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos escuchamos en la próxima!
