酷玩乐队为歌迷提供免费单曲下载

Coldplay will give away the first single from their new album for free over the Internet, the British band said on its Web site.

A note posted on www.coldplay.com says that fans can download “Violet Hill,” from the album “Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends,” free for one week from Tuesday. The album will be launched in Britain on June 12.

Coldplay also announced two free shows — one at London’s Brixton Academy on June 16 and another at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 23.

The album comprises 10 tracks produced by Brian Eno, who created ground-breaking music with David Bowie in the 1970s and has also worked with U2.

The giveaway* is the latest attempt* by musicians to win fans and media exposure through new marketing initiatives.(SD-Agencies)
