Chris Martin's collaboration with Nelly Furtado was axed from her new album
because his voice was too "rocky".
The duet, 'All Good Things', was removed from the track-listing on the
singer's latest LP, 'Loose', on the orders of the Coldplay frontman's record
company EMI.
Initially it was not known why the song had been removed at the last minute
but Nelly has now revealed that bosses at EMI thought Martin's usually
melancholy tones were too raucous and pulled the plug.
She said: "Chris' label didn't want his voice sounding so rocky, so they
said we couldn't use the song."
'All Good Things' does still appear on the album, which is released next
Monday (12.06.06), but with just Nelly's vocals on it.
This is not the first time a duet involving the singer has been stopped by
his record company.
Martin, who is married to Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow, recorded the
original vocal to The Streets' UK hit 'Dry Your Eyes'.
The group's frontman, Mike Skinner, revealed: "I asked him to do it and he
did, but I don't think his record company liked it."
