Coldplay are returning with their 7th studio album later this week, and today they've shared one of the most anticipated tracks from the record today, their collaboration with Beyonce "Hymn For The Weekend". Before Bey even makes an appearance, the track is something of a departure for the band. It's a full-out party song, with lines like "feeling drunk and high".

Beyonce is said to have only been in the studio for about five minutes, and that's pretty much what it sounds like, as she provides more of a backing vocal than a true feature. Does it work?

Quotable Lyrics:
Life is a drink, and love's a drug
Oh now I think I must be miles up
When I was hurt, withered, dried up
You came to rain a flood
