Why not make it brilliant?
Google offices, Zurich: Brilliant.
So, today Coldplay released the first single of their next album for free on their website.
This post isn’t about the track itself - I imagine there’ll be plenty of chat about that elsewhere.
Believe it or not, this post is about an email. Yes, an email.
The email in question is the one I received with the link to the track download.
It looks like this:
Here is the link for your free download of ‘Violet Hill’. It will expire in 6 hours.

Talk about YAWN. Where’s the drama?
- Why haven’t the band written me a note to say thanks for downloading it?
- Why isn’t there more info. on the rest of the album, i.e. release dates or track names?
- I had to give them my email address and postcode so why isn’t there local information incorporated somehow?
Whatever you say about their music, this is a band that’s all about drama:
Just because it’s an email doesn’t mean they don’t have to bother.
Rant over :)
