That's the thing about Coldplay, they have always been a treasure to find! Sometimes I find it okay that not all of their songs are globally known, it's just better this way. People who have been true to the band knows that Coldplay is a gem! No awards can do the justice to the music they make🤍

One of, if not the greatest musical masterpieces ever. They are so freaking good, it’s nuts. This song is so deep, so perfectly done, every time I listen to it, I’m just blown away. Coldplay has the best fans in the world and are loved by so many but they still don’t get the credit they deserve.

Fantastic track. Felt like the only song on the album they actually wanted to make.

[@xelumbra]

I don't know if I would go that far, but it is without a doubt the best on the album. The whole album ranges from pretty good to average and then this absolute masterpiece comes out of nowhere. Best song they've ever written for me.

[@LunadeMusic]

@@xelumbra What they said actually has some truth with it, Guy Berryman said they had to go behind Max Martin’s back (the producer of MOTS) to record Coloratura how they wanted it to be, instead of having a pop version of Coloratura. They definitely had a lot more passion for Coloratura than the others given that they were willing to rewrite the song without a producer, but yeah, they still wanted to make the other songs.

[@elmergloo3259]

@@LunadeMusic wait is that why the past couple albums sucked? I’m a huge Coldplay fan, but I feel like A Head Full of Dreams was their last album. This song, Coloratura, is the only song that felt like the ColdPlay I grew up with in the 90’s and 00’s. Ghost Stories was an acquired taste for me, I ended up liking it more after a year. I just can’t even listen to 95% of their latest stuff.

They played here in Brazil a few weeks ago. Three shows in Rio. This is one of my favorite songs and I was truly afraid of not listening to this live, due to the fact that they don’t usually play it. I had to change the tickets because of work, I couldn’t go to the Sunday show, but I managed to go on the Tuesday one. And guess what… Tuesday was the only day they played it.

Epic. They pulled it off brilliantly with all its complexities, dynamic changes and instrumentation. I can understand why some of "M.O.T.S." is getting slagged, but for people to ignorantly say that Coldplay have lost their way is baffling. Are bands not allowed to grow and change with the times? Thank God The Beatles didn't keep singing "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" through the sixties. And while this (to my ears) harkens back to some of their earlier work, I appreciate that they reinvent with each record rather than repeat themselves.
