Music Video Review | Coldplay - Hymm for the Weekend

Coldplay
Hymm for the Weekend - Single
Parlophone
Release date: January 25, 2016 (Single) / January 29, 2016 (Music Video)

By Shawal Ras


 'Pillowtalk' aside, Coldplay has released the video for 'Hymm for the Weekend', the second single off the band's final studio album, A Head Full of Dreams. Also in the video: HRH Queen Bey (who sings backup, FYI - so rare!).

 The video, which was shot in Mumbai, India, sees Chris Martin experiencing the colours of the life and the visuals shown are sooo Instagram-worthy. Meanwhile, Beyoncé appears a few times, in separate frames, so, yea, obviously shot separately.

Could've been a fun video if she's also at the location. Just my honest opinion. 

But, whatever it is, this is certainly better than a bunch of dancing monkeys. Right?

Watch the video below and let's hope they'll perform this for the upcoming Superbowl's Halftime Performance!

P/s: Watch out for 3:36 and 3:45 - Bollywood's screen siren, Sonam Kapoor, is in the video! 

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
