Rihanna, Kanye and Paul McCartney's New Video

Viral

“FourFiveSeconds” is a soulful pop throwback, and your new favorite song.

It seems that hanging out with pop songwriting royalty has rubbed off on Rihanna and Kanye West, as “FourFiveSeconds”—their collaboration with Paul McCartney—is the most stripped down, soulful instant hit either has ever done. Singing over Paul on rhythm guitar, RiRi and Yeezy take us to church in a ditty that—much like Outkast’s “Hey Ya” and even Cee Lo Green’s “F*** You”—has a timeless pop appeal.
