Coldplay have released a cover of Kid Cudi’s 2008 song ‘Day ‘N’ Nite’ as part of the Spotify Singles series. They’ve also shared an acoustic version of their Music of the Spheres single ‘Let Somebody Go’. Both tracks were recorded at Henson Recording Studio in Los Angeles, CA. Take a listen below.
“Day ‘N’ Nite I loved when it came out, and I still love love love it,” Chris Martin said in a press statement. “This is the first time I think that we’ve really taken proper time to record a cover, because in my head I could hear a version of it quite different from the original, that hopefully just reinforces what a brilliant song it is. One way or another I hope that anyone listening will just think, ‘Wow, Kid Cudi is amazing.'”
Commenting on ‘Let Somebody Go’, a collaboration with Selena Gomez, Martin added: “I have always loved Selena’s voice and when ‘Let Somebody Go’ arrived it felt like she was the only person to sing it with. I’m so happy she said yes. She is wonderful to work with and the kind of artist whose work sounds even better after you get to meet them.”
