Coldplay and Jay-Z Collaboration a Let-Down
I actually was pretty excited for Coldplay’s collaboration with Jay-Z on a new version of their song Lost from Viva la Vida called Lost+ (have a listen by clicking the player above the picture, Jay-Z’s part isn’t till about 3/4 of the way in). I thought the song was gonna get an overhaul, but instead Jay-Z just does a short rap during the bridge that I personally think sounds entirely out of place and just thrown in there. I thought they were going to make something really awesome together, but I feel like Jay-Z’s involvement was a last-minute addition to try and get some attention. Oh well.
The new Coldplay EP Prospekt’s March comes out November 19 which will have this song as well as a few entirely new songs that didn’t finish in time for Viva La Vida. Should be good!

Its a decent song
but I totally agree with what you have to say about him just getting some attention.
I still like the original version better.
