Coldplay and Their Adventurous New Sound

So Coldplay are back with new music.

Surprise!

Yeah, alright – but is “Adventure of a Lifetime,” the first single off the upcoming A Head Full of Dreams, an album that’s being promoted as a farewell album, totally about Jennifer Lawrence?

You know, the younger Academy Award winner that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (pictured here, performing the song on British telly last week) supposedly romanced post-Gwyneth Paltrow? I mean, “Adventure of a Lifetime” does sound younger and way more hip than the Coldplay sound we heart and are used to, no?

I am surprised more people aren’t writing these like, lengthy pieces on the possible meanings of the song’s lyrics, since they contain lines such as, “you make me feel like I'm alive again.”

A conscious dig at G.P.?

Oh, who cares! What is this farewell album business?

A Head Full of Dreams is due out on Dec. 4, with a proposed stadium tour to follow in the new year. Martin says it feels like the culmination of an era, but the door is not closed on Coldplay. Just FYI.
