Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay , said in an interview with MTV that "Princess of China", a track in which Rihanna participates, is her favorite from the new album, Mylo Xyloto . The British band's fifth album hits stores on October 24th.
Regarding the duet with the singer, Martin said:
In like a dream scenario, we had a song that I’d secretly kind of written to see if Rihanna would want to sing it. And then the rest of the band wanted to keep it, so we came up with the idea of asking her to sing it with us, and, to our great surprise, she said OK.
Regarding the criticism that could come from the fact that Rihanna participated in the band's album, the musician said:
Well, her bit on our record is my favourite bit. When the song came out, it sort of asked for her to be on it. And I think at this point, we have nothing to lose, and so we’ve been trying some new things and trying to break down the perceived boundaries between different types of music.
