Coldplay performing "Fix You" at Steve Jobs Memorial |
|
Sample Side A of Mylo Xyloto |
| October 25, 2011 |
Coldplay released its fourth album this week and love them or hate them it will be among the biggest releases this fall. That distinctive Coldplay sound is still intact on the new album which is titled " Mylo Xyloto." Wandering what the heck that means? Here are 4 things you need to know.
1 Rihanna's On it
The track titled "Princess of China" features vocals by Rihanna and its the closest dance song on the album.
2 The Album's Sound Evolved
The album is the most electronic so far even though it actually started out as a mostly acoustic venture. That somehow changed along the way and they decided to basically go for it and produce a soaring, melodic menagerie of tracks which some critics say is too deep into the band's comfort zone. Translation; nothing groundbreaking here.
3 What in the Hell Does Mylo Xyloto Mean?
The albums' seemingly cryptic title may turn out to be the most intriguing thing about it. And before you try to 'google' the phrase, you should know the band has told the press in numerous interviews that their aim for the album title if for it to be "ungoogleable." They pretty much succeeded at that. Strangely, the title appears similiar; like something you forget in a college greek course, but is supposedly derived from nothing other than the band's imagination, their attempt to be completely original, and something about music coming from your fingers and toes, like when you play a Xylophone? Whatever. sorry we couldn't be more definitive.
4 Pronouncing "Mylo Xyloto"
We are told that Mylo Xyloto is pronounced "my-low zy-le-toe." Good luck with that .
