BBC Radio 1 presenter Fearne Cotton announced a huge surprise for this Wednesday's mystery 'Live Lounge' artist. And it indeed was a huge surprise as it was Coldplay!

Chris Martin and Co. performed two tracks on 'Live Lounge' today, April 23rd. And they did not obey the rules all guests on 'Live Lounge' have to follow. They didn't perform a cover, and instead treated their millions of fans listening on the radio with a brand new track from their upcoming album 'Ghost Stories' (May 19).

After performing an acoustic rendition of their new single 'Magic', Coldplay debuted, still in stripped-back mode, 'Oceans'. It's track #7 on the band's new album.

'Oceans' is a stunning ballad. The performance may have lasted almost four minutes, but the lyrical content of the song is rather short. Coldplay prefer to mesmerize listeners with the vast relaxing production. And certainly the live and album version of 'Oceans' will be pretty much the same. After all, Coldplay are all about real instruments
