Coldplay – Magic music video ft. Zhang Ziyi
Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi starred in a music video for Magic by British rock band Coldplay. It’s the first single from the band’s upcoming Ghost Stories album.
Fans and pundits seemed all praise with this. But I felt the song is average by Coldplay’s standard, and Zhang Ziyi doesn’t look her best in the video too.
And no, I am not one of the “hate Coldplay to look cool” antis. I do like some of their songs, and Yellow is still one of my all time favourites.
