"New #Coldplay track Princess of China is one of their best ever - with an amazing female vocal. Chris and Jonny tell all in The Sun tomorrow"

 

The Pierces?

Awesome! High praises, i'm really excited now!

Female vocal? Interesting......

:surprised:

wow. that really shocked me. hope that helped the song to get better (the live version was good imo)

:stunned:

:stunned:

let's hope it didn't destroy the song again..

The Duet!

:surprised:

 

I guess they collaborated with The Pierces after all!

 

Let's hope it's a good collab :nod:

That makes me wonder.... I hope it really doesn't ruin the song

^ Me too. I've never really cared for Coldplay's collaborations . . . let's hope this is the first!

The Pierce's?

 

Ugh. Not all that impressed with them. I was hoping more along the lines of Beyonce or something.

Uhuh i have nothing against the Pierces but i can't be bothered listening to them. I too, hope it'll be Beyonce or..err hmm :thinking: i can't think of any female singer who's better than Beyonce at the moment plus she's best friends with the Paltrow-Martins so it kinda make sense :lol:

 

But to be quite honest, i would rather they didn't do collaborations..

Maybe they just mean that it's sung from a female perspective as Chris has said before...thats as hopeful as I can be about this.

 

And for the record, PoC is no where near their best ever. It's good, but not the best...

^ Maybe they've re-written the lyrics?

 

Or maybe he's talking from a musical standpoint; i.e. it's one of their most unique songs ever, therefor making it good?

beyonce??? ewwwwww :confused:

 

and there are millions of better female artists then her, shes all about moneyyy

Dont like the idea of other people in a cp album...

This kind of makes me uneasy. I don't like the feeling of someone else singing on a Coldplay record.

 

Oh well, it'll probably be fantastic!

Wow you're so underground.

It's not like there's a female vocal all over the song, it's probably just the "la's" that the princess sings in the context of the song. :nod:

According to The Sun it is Rihanna:

the sun is lying :|

RIHANNA? I just read that. OH MY WORD.

Basing it off of the rest of the article, it seems credible.
