Coldplay

1998
Alternative rock
Coldplay was formed in London, England, after the members had met at the University College Longon (UCL) in 1996. Chris Martin and Jonny Bucklan were the ones who started the group which was originally to be called Pectoralz. When Guy Berryman, a classmate, joined, the band renamed themselves to Starfish and began to play small gigs at clubs in London. It was when Chris Maritin's long-time friend Phil Harvey was recruited as the band's manager and Will Champion joined to take up percussion duties that the band came up with the name "Coldplay". The group has today sold far more than 50 million (!) copies and is considered to be one of the best bands of all time to perform live.
Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards, ECHO Awards, GQ Awards, International Dance Music Award, Juno Award, amongst many other awards and numerous nominations.
Yellow, Clocks, Shiver, Trouble, The Scientist, Speed of Sound, Fix You, Viva La Vida.

What happens when you take the voice and the skills of our favorite pop queen, Robyn, and a song from one of the biggest bands of modern time? Curious to know, huh!? Well, you get an awesome cover that you can't stop listening to!

On the BBC Live Lounge, Robyn preformed a cover of Coldplay's latest song “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall”. We love it so much! But then again…we love everything Robyn (and Coldplay) does! The beautiful lyrics are a perfect match to Robyn's sweet and girly voice. We want to hear more covers sung by her!
