When Coldplay decided to bring Rihanna on for a duet on “Princess of China,” they most certainly had not imagined severe criticism would be coming their way. Even so, they stick by their idea.

Proof of that is the fact that they just released an acoustic version of the track. Check it out above.

While some are debating whether the track is really acoustic or not, others are engaged in discussions on whether this version is better than the original.

Most agree that it is – though we have to be honest and admit that we liked the original as well. And no, we did not think Coldplay “sold out” for teaming up with such a commercial pop star as Rihanna.

Enjoy!
