“Hypnotised,” described by the band as a “new non-single song,” is the first track off an EP entitled “Kaleidoscope” announced for June 2.

“Hypnotised” starts off with dream-like chimes and piano with hints of Sigur Ros before turning into a more traditional rock ballad.

FEATURED STORIES

The song, where in Martin confesses he’s “never gonna be a saint” but finds renewal through love, is accompanied by a soothing video with images of the sea. In the lyric video, it is set to a film by Mary Wigmore.

A Coldplay statement described the EP as a “sister release” to the band’s last album “A Head Full of Dreams” which featured a song called “Kaleidoscope”.

Coldplay, which has enjoyed worldwide success since its debut album “Parachutes” in 2000, had hinted that “A Head Full of Dreams” may be its swan song when it came out in late 2015.

Coldplay has gone on a marathon global tour for “A Head Full of Dreams”. An Asian leg opens on March 31 in Singapore before second rounds through Europe and North America.
