Contestants will be paired to perform the same song separately in a sudden death match. This replaces the knockout round. Chris Martin will appear on The Voice March 31, April 1, and April 7. | Best Coldplay Songs Coldplay had their first hit songs in 2000 and rose through the decade to become one of the world's most beloved pop-rock bands. Their hits could be heard all over the world and at a wide variety of events. These are 10 of the best Coldplay songs. | Coldplay Profile The four future members of Coldplay met as college students in London and became almost instant friends; the band grew out of their friendship. An early EP of only 500 copies got them a performance slot in the Manchester In the City music festival in 1998. | Coldplay - 'Magic' Song Review After two albums of creating epic sounding pop-rock with legendary producer Brian Eno, Coldplay have now enlisted the production assistance of Paul Epworth, best known for his work with Adele and Florence and the Machine. The song "Magic" is the first official single from the band's upcoming sixth studio album 'Ghost Stories.' It is a refreshingly simple, elegant love song that will excite fans of the group's early hits like "Yellow" and "In My Place." | | | | Related Searches | | | | Featured Articles | | | | | | | | Sign up for more free newsletters on your favorite topics | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About.com Music newsletter.
