Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is said to be mesmerised by singer Rihanna and he's interested in seeing where things head with her.

Martin, who split from Gwyneth Paltrow in March after 10 years of marriage, had immediate chemistry with the 26-year-old singer when they collaborated on their hit, `Princess of China` in 2012. He is said to be keen to explore his feelings for her further, reports contactmusic.com.

"They plan on spending much more time together. Chris felt suffocated by Gwyn because she's such a perfectionist. But Rihanna is more down-to-earth and carefree and beautiful. He thinks she's intoxicating,` said a source.

Rihanna, who recently split from Drake, was spotted having dinner with Brown at her favourite restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, in Santa Monica last week and is said to be equally attracted to him.

"Rihanna hasn't dated many men like Chris, but she's telling friends that she thinks he's sexy in his own way. She's willing to see where things go with him,` said a source.
