Paradise in Music: Rihanna, Coldplay Duet Leaked

As all things go — using the term “leaked” loosely — copies of Rihanna and Coldplay’s upcoming single “Princess of China” hit the internet Monday. We say “leaked” with quotes because Coldplay’s album Mylo Xyloto hits the store shelves, or more appropriately, the iTunes shelves Oct 24th.

The much-hyped single has been pretty hard to track down and somebody finally graced the world with it. Have a listen to it below. Thoughts? A hit single?

Unlike most other rock and hip hop / r&b collaborations, the melodic styles of the two contrasting superstars surprisingly go well together.

Listeners might be more familiar with Coldplay’s first single off the upcoming album “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” followed by the second single “Paradise”
