I spent nearly an hour tonight listening to songs, trying to find one that you would all like, and finally I gave up and decided to play whatever I wanted … every now and then I just have to do that. And here’s the first thing I could come up with … ol’ Ray Charles never lets me down!
Let’s close our eyes for a minute … no, I didn’t say go to sleep … wake up, Joe! Close your eyes and travel…
Introduction of Harry Styles
Harry Styles, the British heartthrob, is one of the world’s most popular and successful musicians today. He has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has won numerous awards, including a Grammy Award and a Brit Award. Styles is also a successful actor, having starred in the films Dunkirk and My Policeman. He is known for his stylish fashion sense and his…
Coldplay won over the world for writing cleareyed, intimate songs about romantic insecurity and longing; now, they write about everything. Literally everything, transcending the concerns of terra firma and bounding through the celestials.
Everything about Music of the Spheres is a wild swing, which befits a band seemingly destined to carry the torch of the outsized U2.
Frontman Chris Martin said he was inspired by the enormity of the Star Wars universe and the title-track opener — stylized as a Saturn emoji — feels like the Flash Gordon-style opening crawl, an awe-inspiring sci-fi universe whirring to life. And the first single, "Higher Power," reaches for nothing less than the gates of Heaven.
That the Englishmen are able to engage in such space-scraping without sacrificing their core identity is somewhat miraculous. "Humankind" is a Kubrickian update on the anthemic mold they've always adhered to — going all the way back to A Rush of Blood to the Head, which turned 20 in 2022. And "Let Somebody Go," featuring Selena Gomez, feels as pared-down as their intimate, beloved debut, Parachutes.
For a song on the scale of "My Universe," not only guest would do: Martin and company had to tap the arguably biggest pop group on the planet, BTS. The song cycle ends with the 10-minute "Coloratura," which shows how Coldplay manage to stay creatively unpredictable even as their cachet grows heavenward.
On top of Music of the Spheres' GRAMMY nominations for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, "My Universe" is represented in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category. But whether or not Coldplay ultimately take home their golden gramophones, they've made an album that belongs to the planets and stars.
Who the fuck approved giving J Lo a mic to pretend to be Whitney Houston at the Grammy's... WHO!? I want the name of everyone that signed off on this. I want you jobless by Monday. Pop music was created for artists that had no vocal talent, that’s why we call it bubble gum music... no substance. Now if someone could not achieve Pop status vocally on their own how will they achieve the complexity of Rhythm & Blues, SOUL MUSIC.
