The overall tone of this album is positive and cheerful. But are they committed enough to make a dance- pop record or are they still haunted by their alternative rock beginnings ? Some of these switch ups have been immensely successful and helped the artist expand their fanbase but sometimes these artist lose their hard core fans who have been supporting them and their original sound from the start.After flirting with dance pop on Ghost Stories with songs like ‘A Sky Full of Star’, Coldplay is having an all out affair with pop/dance-pop music on ‘A Head Full of Dreams’.

This album feels like we have to just release it into the world and let it fend for itself. He explained: “We’re not touring and we’re not really talking and not doing anything normal. The 44-year-old singer and his bandmates had decided not to tor ‘Everyday Life’ due to environmental concerns, while he insisted the music was “not tourable yet”. Meanwhile, the musician recently admitted he “doesn’t really understand” Coldplay’s recent songs.
