The artists share a mutual affinity for one another, with Coldplay inviting the 23-year-old songstress to be featured on their latest album. Rihanna lends her voice to the upbeat synth track “Princess of China,” which is being heralded as a surprise fan favorite. “'Yellow’ seems like a faint memory with this epic electro breakup track,” writes Billboard.
