The new video for the Coldplay single 'Hymn for the Weekend' featuring Beyonce just dropped and it's quite colourful. 

Filmed in Mumbai, there's no doubt that the video, filled with colours from all across the spectrum, matches the upbeat vibe of the song with Chris Martin leading the way and Beyonce adding some dreamy vocals into the mix.

The launch of the video comes just a week out from Coldplay's performance in the Superbowl Half Time show in which they will be joined on stage by Beyonce.

Now for the controversy: many Twitter users have been accusing Coldplay and Beyonce of cultural appropriation
