Titled after a soothing interlude from the band’s 2015 LP ‘A Head Full of Dreams’, this five-song EP continues that album’s mood of tranquil satisfaction. Its lead track, “All I Can Think About Is You,” goes from moody restraint to stadium shimmer, with Chris Martin radiating euphoria. Big Sean lends a few surprisingly organic lines to the uplifting dance-pop snugglet “Miracles” and Brian Eno produces the skitter-grooved “Aliens.” A live version of Martin’s hit Chainsmokers collaboration, “Something just like this,” breaks the flow on a record that otherwise goes down as easy as Sunday brunch with a cool uncle. Coldplay are a British rock band formed in 1996 by lead vocalist and keyboardist Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland at University College London. After they formed under the name Pectoralz, Guy Berryman joined the group as bassist and they changed their name to Starfish. Will Champion joined as drummer and backing vocalist, completing the line-up. Creative director Phil Harvey is often referred to as the fifth member by the band. The band renamed themselves “Coldplay” in 1998, before recording and releasing three EPs: Safety in 1998 and Brothers & Sisters and The Blue Room in 1999. The Blue Room was their first release on a major label, after signing to Parlophone. Coldplay achieved worldwide fame with the release of the single “Yellow” in 2000, followed in the same year by their debut album ‘Parachutes’, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
