Project staff weekly obsession: Coldplay

This week, Christina is loving the new Coldplay CD entitled Viva La Vida, or long live life. Inspired by a Frida Kahlo painting, some of the album, which was recorded in churches in Spain and Latin America, is full of religious references. The song "Life in Technicolor" introduces a Persian santur into the orchestration, commonly used in the traditional music of Iraq and Iran, as well as steel guitars and long instrumental soundscapes.

You can listen to the entire CD at www.iheartmusic.com or you can download the CD at itunes.

Title Track:Vivia La Vida.
