Tegan and Sara released a new music video for their new single "Yellow" and it paid homage to Coldplay, given the fact that the latter had released a song of the same title way back. The two mimicked what Chris Martin did on his own music video.
The video, directed by Mark Myers, bears homage to Coldplay's own clip for their 2000 hit "Yellow," with Tegan and Sara - just like Martin - wandering down a deserted beach on a dreary, rainy day while singing their song.
"Yellow" by Tegan and Sara is a lovely pop song that blends bubblegum elements with heartfelt sincerity.
"This bruise ain't black it's yellow," goes the chorus. "My sweet heart breaks, so be careful/But this paint ain't red, now it's a yellow/My sweet heart sings out like a devil."

Sara said that the song was written because of the injuries and wounds she and Tegan had to carry since "adolescene and early adulthood." She said these wounds have never completely healed properly and flare up yearly, sending us falling back in time. She said she does not like this to happen all the time, "breaking and disintegrating" as if they're 15 all the time.
"Yellow" and "Fucking Up What Matters" will be included on Tegan and Sara's forthcoming 10th studio album, Crybaby, due out on October 21 via Mom + Pop Music.
Tegan and Sara's Crybaby is their first album of brand-new songs since 2019's. "Hey, I'm Just Like You." They however, released "Still Jealous," a reinterpretation of their 2004 album So Jealous, earlier this year. The new album was produced by John Congleton in Seattle and Los Angeles.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Tegan discussed the duo's tenth album, stating, "I do have moments where I'm like, "Are we old?" And then I remember that we started when we were 15. We put out our first album when we were 19. So yeah, it does feel like a huge milestone. But I also feel like you could probably take the first two records and erase them, not because I don't like them or love them - I just think those are the kind of albums that people don't usually even put out. So I feel like, emotionally, we're on our eighth."
Following the release of "Crybaby," Tegan and Sara will embark on a tour across North America. The tour begins on October 26 at Philadelphia's Union Transfer and concludes on November 20 at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom. The whole list of the cities they will be visiting can be found here.
Tickets for the tour go on sale on July 15 at 10 a.m. local time (a fan presale begins tomorrow, June 13, at 10 a.m. local time; additional information is available on Tegan and Sara's website). Tomberlin will offer support throughout the tour.
While the list of the cities they will visit seems long - there are many more cities that they will not have the chance to visit, to the dismay of their fans.
In a tweet, they said that despite the clamor and demand for them to tour certain cities, they have to let some fans down in the meantime.
Seeing a lot of messages with requests to visit certain cities + disappointment that we aren’t going to every place on earth. We will be announcing way more tour dates in the coming year. It’s baby steps right now for us as we get back into touring. But we promise more to come.
