Melodic pop-rockers Coldplay have released the music video for their new song, “Midnight”. The track is believed to be the first single off the band’s upcoming sixth studio album. The new disc will be the follow-up to 2011’s Mylo Xyloto, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the UK Albums Chart. The album produced five hit singles, including the smash “Paradise”, and garnered the band five Grammy Award nominations. The band’s next album is due out sometime later this year via Atlantic Records. Coldplay are slated to perform at iTunes Festival at SXSW in Austin, TX on March 11 alongside Imagine Dragons, Keith Urban, and more. Formed in 1996, Coldplay released their debut album, Parachutes, in 2000. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album and the BRIT Award for British Album of The Year. Since then, the band has won the BRIT Award for Best British Group three times. They have been nominated for twenty-five Grammy Awards, winning seven of them. To date, the band has released five studio LPs and sold over 60 million albums worldwide. – by Matt Bishop (Top Photo Courtesy of Anton Corbijn, Bottom Photo Courtesy of Ben Etridge)
