Martin embraces the gift of giving
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver June 15th, 2004
Fresh from helping out R&B starlet Jamelia, Chris Martin has put his songwriting skills to work on behalf of Yorkshire long-time-no-see indie rockers Embrace.

Okay, so he didn't write for them, specifically. A song penned by Martin, 'Gravity' apparently sounded just like an Embrace song, so the Coldplay frontman, being the nice chap that he is, just gave it to the band! Simple as that. Well, that's what I've been led to believe; word is that a certain Danny McNamara may have helped all along... does anyone know for sure? Does anyone actually care?

Regardless of who wrote it, the track will appear on Embrace's next album, due out in September.
