Chris Martin Writing New Music For Rihanna

(Radio.com) "Princess of China" may not be Chris Martin of Coldplay's only collaboration with pop princess Rihanna. In an interview with Fresh 102.7/New York (a CBS Radio station), Martin revealed he'd been trying his hand at writing a new track for Rihanna.

But even an award-winning, chart topping songwriter like Martin isn't a shoo-in. He said he didn't know if we'd be hearing his work for her. Martin told Maxim he was rejected by Beyonc�'s A&R team back in 2010, pre his "Princess of China" success.

"She has so many amazing people writing for her. It's like trying to win American Idol, getting a song on Rihanna's album," Martin said. He said the exercise of writing for Rihanna was a "busman's holiday" - meaning he was meant to be on a break from work and decided to spend that time in the studio writing songs. more on this story
