Tinie Tempah on 'Demonstration' album: 'I wanted Chris Martin on the record'

UK based rapper Tinie Tempah has revealed that one of the artists he was desperate to work with on his new album was Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin.

During a new interview with the NME, the 'Pass Out' superstar explained that he has a great deal of respect for the musician and wanted to get his artistic opinions on his new offering, entitled 'Demonstration':

"One of the people who I really wanted on the record was Chris Martin, of all people. I went to his studio and played him a lot of the record, and the record I could hear him on. He gave me feedback of what he thought, what he liked and what he didn't like." 

Speaking about the album's title, Tinie added: "'Demonstration' is my second record. A lot of it just focuses on the evolution of me as an artist [...] the vision that I had in my head and all the people that I thought could help me get my vision out to the world definitely worked out."

"I thought about all these reasons why I wanted to make an album called 'Demonstration' or what it meant to me and it is definitely me demonstrating this evolution of a British fresh new rapper evolving into more of an artist."

'Demonstration' is due to be officially released on November 4.
