Chris Martin’s collaboration with Nelly Furtado has been mysteriously axed from her forthcoming album. The duet, ‘All Good Things’, was reportedly removed from the LP’s track-listing on the orders of the Coldplay frontman’s record company EMI.

A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Three days ago the order came through to remove it from her album. I don’t know if Chris knows yet, but when he finds out he’ll be furious. It seems EMI have a problem rather than either of the artists.”

This is not the first time a duet involving the singer has been stopped by his record company. The Coldplay frontman, 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.” Rumours are now circulating that the track Chris recorded with rapper Kanye West may also never be released.

Maneater
Right to the sternum! This one is a banger, with a lot of neat sonic extras and breakdowns that weren’t on the leaked version from a month or two back. No sign of Weezy F Baby however.

Promiscuous
The best update of “Shoop” we never even knew we wanted in the first place. Still a little weird that Timbo is calling himself “Thomas Crown” though. (The Pierce Brosnan remake is seven years old, duder!) But there is a welcome Steve Nash shout out.

Glow
Boom clap boom, synths, etc.

Showtime
Our secret favourite of the record. A bittersweet, Britpoppy ballad in 3/4 time that wouldn’t be out of place ending 120 Minutes in the mid 90s.

No Hay Igual
Does this song even have a proper chorus? It’s just one long intro. Which happens to really, really knock.

Te Busque featuring Juanes (English and Spanish versions)
Subtract Timbo, add Juanes, and get a fairly unremarkable track (or two, actually.) Nelly spits a Def Poetry Jam interlude though.

Say It Right
OK we need to step our pop reference game up a little for this one. Going to go with “Like A Prayer”-era Madonna, but there’s probably a random Cindi Lauper joint that would have been more appropriate.

Do It
That roller rink shit! Irrisistably hooky, with little Latin freestyle vocal cuts (“Yeah-yea-ye-yeah..”) interspersed throughout.

In God’s Hands
Another snoozy, Timbo-less ballad. Skip.

Wait For You
Hot damn, double-time R&B. With tabla!

All Good Things featuring Chris Martin
Don’t hold Chris Martin against it – he gets his Coldplay on and is still decent on this track, which is in the vein of No Doubt’s quieter moments. And if nothing else, it helps prove that the powers that be shouldn’t have hedged their bets with outside pop production on the other slow jams.

Nelly Furtado’s brand-new album “Loose” will hit stores worldwide on 20th June 2006. The record was initially slated for release in May but due to Nelly’s tour dates in Europe, Geffen decided to delay the release until after her concert commitments.

At first listen, “Loose” is an explosion of pure, raw energy. Continuing her “Força,” Nelly and Timbaland gather big beats and cheeky raps with lots of dance floor-ready production tricks.

Good examples of Nelly’s new vibe are the first singles “Promiscuous” (for the USA – a saucy, ghetto fabulous duet with Timbaland) and the irresistible club track “Maneater” (for the rest of the world).

The entire album sounds like a rough cut with studio chatting and Nelly’s giggling between tracks and even into the songs that creates a very informal (read: loose) atmosphere on the album.

“Loose” will surely be one of the most noteworthy pop releases of 2006 that will please her fans and pleasantly surprise the masses.

Martin, who is also rumoured to be collaborating with Kanye West, guested on the track because he wanted to collaborate with celebrated Missy Elliott producer Timbaland, who worked on the album.

Nelly said “I was telling (Chris) what I was up to, and he’s like ‘I love Timbaland. Can I come by?’ But (Timbaland’s) like a big dude and Chris was scared to sit down at the keyboard. I’m like, ‘Chris, sit down. Let’s make some music.’ I’m always the instigator,”
