The new single from Coldplay will be Strawberry Swing, it has been announced and it will be available as a digital download on September 14th. The video to accompany Strawberry Swing, will be available exclusively online via Babelgum Web and Mobile from July 20th to July 27th. The video will be released commercially on August 3rd.
The groundbreaking short film that accompanies Strawberry Swing will also be given an exclusive theatrical premiere at ODEON cinemas across the UK from July 22nd, and will be programmed in front of ’Brüno’ and US box office hit ‘The Proposal’.
The innovative video was directed by Shynola, a group of visual artists famous for their work with Beck (E-Pro), Blur (Crazy Beat), Junior/Senior (Move Your Feet), and Radiohead (Pyramid Song) to name a few. In the video, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin debuts as an animated superhero in a larger-than-life world drawn entirely in chalk.
