Superstar producer Swizz Beatz recently revealed that he will be releasing “That Oprah” as an official single and will be shooting a video for it. “That Oprah” samples Coldplay’s hit song “Viva la Vida” with Swizz rapping about his love for the legal tender. [Listen to “That Oprah”]

“The record started off a freestyle, then the traction went real major,” Swizz told MTV. “Being that I’ve got a relationship with Coldplay already — I’ve worked with them a while back — I was like, I wanna turn it into a real record. I took care of the legal side. I’m about to shoot a video to that. Plus, that’s where I wanna be at musically anyway. The remix is gonna be crack.” [Read more]

The Interwebs prove to be a wonderful thing as band delivers new song.

Unless you’re a diehard Coldplay fan chances are you’re completely unaware that the band has been road testing a new track entitled “Death Will Never Conquer” on their current tour.

While hearing this new track live is undoubtedly a special treat, the band have gone one further.

They are currently offering up a version of the song, for free (that’s right, f-r-e-e) on their website.

Our philosophy is that if something is free, take advantage of it.

Oh yeah, you might pass this info along to a friend, so they can enjoy the music, as well.

Simon Pegg vs Coldplay – Feud Continues.

Part III of Coldplay’s XFM Residency is now online. You can listen to it here.

In the third eventful part of Coldplay’s Xfm Residency last night, Simon Pegg once again dodged the world’s biggest band’s phone calls. Admitting they “didn’t have great radio personalities, but have buckets of enthusiasm and passion”, Coldplay tried calling the star of Spaced and Shaun Of The Dead to add spice to their show.

The Spaced, Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz star snubs Coldplay during their second Residency show on Xfm. “He probably doesn’t like us”, says Chris.

Simon Pegg refused to take Coldplay’s calls as the band attempted to “raise the comedy levels” on their second Residency show last night. Chris Martin, Johnny Buckland and Guy Berryman tried calling the Brit star as one of the band’s own jokes – something about two Nuns and a bar of soap - fell flat. Musing on why Pegg didn’t pick up, Chris said, “He probably doesn’t like us anymore”. The Mirror are currently blowing this feud up to an even more ridiculous proportion than us… [Read more]

I knew I wasn’t the only one who heard the original version of Coldplay’s Lost from Viva La Vida and thought that the opening melody sounded a bit like a Hip Hop sample. MC Novel was smart enough to amp up the track a bit and throw his sixteen bars over the original making the song a bit more emotional and personal. We don’t know so much about Novel yet but lyricaly he sounds promising. Check out the link below to check out the song.

Three quarters of Coldplay came into Xfm to demonstrate their DJ-ing skills and play their favourite tracks. The band produced some hilarious links where the giggles got the better of them, but as Chris Martin explains: “that’s Colplay for you, always bumming around”.

The lads had some interesting musical choices including James Bond theme ‘The Living Daylights‘ by A-ha and ‘Du Haast‘ by German industrial crusaders Rammstein. Nice.
