    Milo Xiloto was the beggining of the end, This EP just confirms it. Coldplay is focusing on making money, it doesnt matter if they need to sound like Justin Bieber, Calvin Harris or any other sh%&# artist like those. Its a shame, considering that once they were some sort of a promise in rock music.

    This EP is nothing but on-brand, however; euphoric emotion, an earnest, universal message and a coating of tacky charm.

    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.

    Within these five tracks, Coldplay touch upon various contemporary trends in EDM, R&B, and rock without abandoning their identity, and thereby they are fleet and clever, not relics.
