Today, Coldplay reveiled not only the kryptic title of their new album Mylo Xyloto, but also the release date: the 24th of October!
Considering that Coldplay is one of my favourite bands of all time, that's incredidbly exciting news to hear for me. Since they've performed several new songs on their festival appearances, the fan community is wondering which songs will actually make the record, what the title would be and so on. You can hear what the album will probably sound like here: Charlie Brown (my favourite song so far!), Hurts Like Heaven, Us Against The World, Major Minus and Moving to Mars. And for the gorgeous Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, a gorgeous video:
The second official single is called Paradise and will be released on the 12th of September, yay!
I absolutely believe that this album will be their masterpiece so far. Coldplay has grown as a band on every album and I hope they won't stop making music too soon!

Noel Gallagher + Thees Uhlmann
I like Oasis, but honestly I've never gotten into Liam's new band Beady Eye. They sound ok, but nothing more to me (yet). And so I wasn't expecting too much from the other brother's musical project: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds!
But, I have to say, I actually do like his approach of starting new. The first single of his October-album is called The Death of You And Me and is settled between The Last Shadow Puppets, acoustic Oasis and the actual Beatles. I think it's a lovely, warm-sounding pop song that isn't groundbreaking or innovative, but still pretty catchy.
But what really convinced me of his solo attempt was this nice, quiet acoustic song he did a while ago: Everybody's On The Run. Noel's voice sounds absolutely amazing in this. And I think it's extremely catchy, too! There's only a video with poor audio quality, but you can hear everything that's necessary. I really hope it's not going to change too much on the final record.
And there's another great artist that's wandering on solo-paths - the singer of the German band Tomte, Thees Uhlmann. I know his voice may sound a bit "uncomely" and he's singing German, but I don't believe that it's necessary to actually understand lyrics. it's the music that matters, in my opinion. And there's this wonderful, wonderful piece of music called "To Spawn And Die, The Salmons Are Moving Up The River"! the video is very beautiful and retro-esque. The song is about him personally and life in general. I hope you enjoy the song as much as I do!
You can find another song of the upcoming album here. The Translation of the title would be "And Jay-Z is Singing a Song For Us" - how awesome is that
So, I would like to know, how do you like Thees Uhlmann? Should I continue to introduce German bands and artists to you? I would be happy if you would leave a comment for me on this. Furthermore, if you ever wonder what a German song is about and you can't find a proper English translation on the Internet, feel free to contact me and I will try to translate it for you.
