"Lost+ (Jay-Z Remix)" Video Review

Coldplay have brought out a music video in support of "Lost+", the remix version of "Lost" which features Jay-Z.

While "Lost" appears on Coldplay's fourth studio LP "Viva La Vida", "Lost+" is confirmed to be listed on their fifth mini album "Prospekts March [EP]".

Jay's cameo starts halfway through and lasts for about a minute. He namechecks Biggie and Jesus, and Caesar and Brutus, and if that sounds familiar it's because his part has apparently been recycled from a Hot 97 freestyle from 2006.

The video features a live performance of the song at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The video was filmed and directed by Mat Whitecross.

Coldplay are also holding a contest in which fans submit homemade music videos for the "Lost?" acoustic version of the song. The winner will be awarded a pair of "ultra-VIP" tickets to one of their shows in London, which include backstage passes. Their video will also be featured on Coldplay's official website.

"Prospekts March" is slated for release across U.S. on November 25 under Parlophone Records.

Stressing that the songs in the EP are not throwaway tracks, bassist Guy Berryman said, "We didn't want to make the album too long. We thought the third record was too long, and we didn't want to make that mistake again. But these songs were too good just to be B-sides on singles. It's kind of meant to be an amendment to 'Vida La Vida'. We wanted people to hear that record as a standalone first, and not bombard them. We're really proud of it."
