Chris Martin works with Naturally 7

 

Chris Martin was so blown away when he saw Naturally 7 perform, he invited them to join Coldplay in the studio the very next day.

The unusual US band - who combine singing with rap, which they call "Vocal Play" - were delighted when the Fix You singer turned up to their gig at London's Le Pigalle club last month, along with producer Brian Eno and Natalie Imbruglia.

 

Chris went backstage afterwards to meet the band and invited them into the studio with the rest of Coldplay the following day. The two bands spent around four hours working on a few ideas and may meet again to work on some tracks.

 

Roger N'glish Thomas, baritone and rapper for the group, said: "I didn't quite believe that Chris Martin, Brian Eno, and Natalie Imbruglia had come out to see us perform the night before. But I chose to believe it because my eyes were seeing it. And then we had the opportunity to meet the whole band the next day.

 

"I told Chris when he extended the invitation to us, 'There is no other place I'd rather be than hanging out with Coldplay.'

"The visit was somewhat surreal, which is to be expected when you're talking to musicians you have the highest respect for. We asked a lot of questions about their last album, recording and touring and they asked us a lot of questions about the concept of Vocal Play and our album Wall Of Sound.

 

"The night was short, but sweet. And I look forward to whatever happens next!"

Are they good? I've never heard of Naturally 7. But Chris likes them, so I guess they're fine :nice:

It has rap in it, so of course Chris likes it :P

Wait... Nat Imbruglia was with Brian and Chris? Or was she just at the same gig?

I like them too... Just watched some vids on youtube...

I saw this band last year when they were supporting Michael Buble - they're very good, but it is a crazy concept :rolleyes3: I'm not surprised Chris liked them...

 

If you've not heard of them - you gotta check them out on youtube or something. Worth a watch... :)

It's a nice change when Coldplay likes a band that actually likes them back!!! :D

Very true !!

they're sure lucky. =]

I checked them on iTunes and they really sound great!

These guys are very talented, they sound amazing!

Oh dear :-(

I saw those guys on tv the other week, they are really good, and the guy who does the guitar sound, wow!!!!

This makes me very happy. I like Naturally 7 and I love Coldplay, and much as I like the old stuff, I love when they experiment with new sounds and directions. And I think that a lot of their stuff could go great with a little bit of rap.
