Coldplay is back at it with new music and plans to release their next album. The British band announced this week that their album, "Ghost Stories," will hit the stores on May 19, according to Huffington Post

This album will be Coldplay's first since 2011 when "Mylo Xyloto" topped the charts all around the world and went multi-platinum. The album was even nominated for a Grammy. 

This morning the band even took to Twitter, where they posted a picture of the track list for "Ghost Stories," as well as the lyrics for its first single, "Magic."  

In true Coldplay fashion, the single is calm and catchy. With the beat behind the track, it takes a bit more of a pop sound. The lyrics in the song are repetitive, making it more of a song for the background. Perhaps "Magic" will be a good indicator of the band's new album, but then again maybe it's just one piece of the puzzle.

Take a listen to it below and tell us what you think.
