AceShowbiz - Coldplay has debuted another epic music video for another song from what may be their last album, "A Head Full of Dreams". While gearing up to launch their North American tour, the British band dropped Monday, May 16 the official visuals for their latest single, "Up & Up".
Directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, the otherworldly video shows a bunch of normal things happening around things that aren't so normal. Viewers get to see people walking on the street with fish swimming above them, a bird flying under the sea and a busy city built on someone's bathtub among others.
"Up & Up" follows-up Coldplay's collaboration with Beyonce Knowles, "Hymn for the Weekend". Frontman Chris Martin recently discussed his new music video in an interview with Zane Lowe, saying, "I think it's one of the best videos people have made. Even if you take the music away."
In the same chat with the radio host, Martin reiterated that "A Head Full of Dreams" would be his and Coldplay's last album though it wouldn't be the end of the band. "I'd be surprised if there was another conventional Coldplay album," he said. "I just feel like we're right where we're supposed to be right now. I meant what I said to you a couple of years ago I feel like this is a closing chapter of something. I stand by that I'm afraid."
Of the future of the band, he continued, "I don't think we'd split up as a band so hopefully we'll try to work out something to do at some point. But also part of me right now just feels like yeah seven albums, that's great and they form a kind of circle and they all make sense to me now and I feel really proud of them."
