Chris Martin The First Song On The Unforgettable Fire A Sort Of Homecoming I
Christopher Anthony John “Chris” Martin (2 March 1977) is an English singer-songwriter, who is the lead vocalist, pianist and rhythm guitarist of the band Coldplay. Chris Martin was born in Exeter, Devon, England and is the eldest of five children. It is here he met future Coldplay bandmates Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Guy Berryman. Martin’s fascination with hip hop was shown in mid-2006 when he collaborated with rapper Jay-Z for the rapper’s comeback album Kingdom Come after the two met earlier in the year. The first song on The Unforgettable Fire, “A Sort of Homecoming”, I know backward and forward – it’s so rousing, brilliant, and beautiful. Solo artists Martin likes include Leona Lewis, Noel Gallagher, Kylie Minogue, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and Hank Williams. On 1 April 2006, The Guardian reported that Martin was backing the British Conservative Party leader David Cameron and had written a new theme song for the party titled “Talk to David”.
