Coldplay Launch Q Radio

Comments

Coldplay helped to launch Q Radio by giving the station an exclusive taste of their new material with the first ever play of an acoustic version of a new album track.

The song was given an airing during the June 2 Q Radio launch programme, QPM, presented by Samanthi who also interviewed Coldplay for the show. Lovers In Japan is one of the standout tracks on the band’s fourth album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends which is released on June 12. Singer Chris Martin said he wanted Q to play the track to wish the station well.

Plus Chris Martin gave us a unique peek at the new album track Life In Technicolor in a completely different form. On Viva La Vida the band are releasing an instrumental version after stripping off the vocals, but they played a section of the track during the interview with the lyrics intact. However Chris’s rendition did lapse into an alternate version when he added a few bars about blancmange! QPM is on at 6pm and the band’s interview will be at 7pm

You can catch the programme again on the listen again facility of the Q Radio website here. And you can hear the interview and tracks repeated during Samanthi On Sunday - a round-up of the highlights of her daily QPM show on Sunday, June from 10am to 1pm.

Coldplay are the cover stars of the July issue of Q, which is out now. You can read the band's track by track assessment of Viva La Vida in the magazine - or online here.

  • The version just played of I 'm not gonna teach your boyfirend how to dance by black kids sounded really odd, a lot slower and less polished version to the one i'm used too.
    Good show though
