Polski opis

Mark Romanek, twórca klipów m.in. do "Closer" Nine Inch Nails, "Are You Gonna Go My Way" Lenny'ego Kravitza czy "Hurt" Johnny'ego Casha, zajął się reżyserią nowego teledysku grupy Coldplay.

Wideo do singlowej piosenki "Speed Of Sound" kręcone było w Los Angeles. Na zdjęcia wybrano kilka otwartych plenerów. Ważnym elementem filmu jest charakterystyczne oświetlenie. Premierę teledysku przewidziano na połowę maja.

Przypomnijmy, że kompozycja zwiastuje trzeci studyjny longplay Coldplay. Płyta "X&Y" trafi na sklepowe półki 6 czerwca.

 English description

Coldplay have sold more than 17 million records worldwide and are on the verge of releasing their third album of globe-uniting tunes, X&Y. But as they get more successful, they also seem to get more humble. Like, for example, when they talk about the video for X&Y's first single, "Speed of Sound".

"We shot it with [director] Mark Romanek. It's basically a big, curved LED wall. I think that's what it's called. I'm not too clued in on the technology" bassist Guy Berryman said. "This is our first video back, so it was really a visual announcement for us. It was important to do a band performance, just to say 'We're back.' "

"He's the best video director of all time, though he doesn't like to admit it," frontman Chris Martin said of Romanek. "So we were immensely flattered that he would want to do it with us. For a price."

The video, which will premiere on MTV this week, was shot last month on a massive soundstage in Los Angeles (see "Coldplay Shoot Video, Announce Trio Of Club Shows"). Other than that, details are scarce, and Romanek refused MTV News' requests for interviews.

While Coldplay are a bit tight-lipped about the video for "Speed of Sound," they're more than forthcoming about their hopes for the clip for X&Y's planned second single, "Fix You."
