London Grammar falls from Coldplay's tree

Raphael Michilis Fonseca

Apparently we entered the COLDPLAY harvesting period. fter the opening of the season with Reload, by Sebastian Ingrosso, Tommy Trash and John Martin, now it is time to collect another fruit from Coldplay's tree of influence: London Grammar's Strong. 

Is it only me who can hear Coldplay's Trouble all over Hannah Reid's vocal in this tune? I'm not trying to say it is a cover version, neither plagiarism. Her vocals are strong and the lyrics are beautiful. I prefer to see it as a reverence to Chris Martin, his friends and the incredible job they have been doing all of theses years.

Also, I had so many people listening to Reload and asking me what's the name of this new Coldplay's song? Yeah! Agree. For me it is nothing less than a Cold Play's electronic child.

I'm not complaining. I like the three groups. In different levels of course, and think we should give the due credit to Cold Play as the precursor of this movement. Can I call it a movement? Trend maybe? I don't know. Lets just enjoy it all.
