FourFiveSeconds

A highly unexpected, cross-generational collaboration that dramatically stripped away the electronic artifice expected from both Rihanna and Kanye West. Driven almost entirely by Paul McCartney's warm, folksy acoustic guitar progression, the song allows the two vocalists to trade verses in a raw, unpolished, and soulful manner. The minimalist, monochromatic music video further emphasized the track's Americana-influenced simplicity.
