Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is keen to do something interesting, and thinks a country album with a hip-hop flavour is the way to go about it. He's apparently planning a collaboration with retired country singer Garth Brooks, Kanye West and hip-hopper Timbaland.
Martin said: "Country is a very sleeping beast within us. We have two things we're not allowed to do - country and rap - just because of where we're from. So I think they'll rear their heads at some point in the future. In fact, I think the only future for music is if you bring together the most disparate worlds."
