Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, has worked closely with Rihanna. His band collaborated with the singer on the song "Princess of China" off of their 2011 album titled "Mylo Xyloto."
They have since performed the song live several times, including at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards on February 12, 2012 in Los Angeles and on September 9, 2012 at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London.
Martin believes Riri's vocal talents rank her with the all-time greats, calling her the modern day Frank Sinatra.
“She is the Frank Sinatra of our generation. She can turn anything into gold with that voice," he told The Guardian in a new interview. "Here’s the thing: if you speak to a good singing teacher about great opera singers, they will talk about consistency of tone. Or there’s a book by Alfred Tomatis about why some people like certain people’s voices and other people hate them, like Bob Dylan or me or whoever, some people say, ‘Oh, I hate that voice’, so there’s a thing about people’s frequency responses – what they are pleased by. Rihanna has this thick tone, so it’s very hard to annoy anybody. It’s like a beautifully squeezed tube of toothpaste. When you think of Rihanna’s voice you think of this whole, rich thing, solid like a tree trunk, and. Drake is pretty similar. But Rihanna’s voice is just delicious for your ear. Sinatra had the same thing; anything he sang sounded pleasing to most people.”
