Kanye West pulled another shocker when he released his latest collaboration alongside Paul McCartney titled "FourFiveSeconds," calling upon the vocal talents of Rihanna to assist with the chorus. The acoustic, relaxed original was a eye-brow raiser to Rihanna fans who have been waiting for their queen to deliver more dance-pop hits, but it made perfect sense coming from the minds of Kanye West and Paul McCartney. A track as open and inviting as "FourFiveSeconds" was begging for a remix and it got one from Norwegian producer Lido, who has become famous online for his work with Cashmere Cat and sensual soulful R&B-influenced electronic remixes of songs.
Lido adds a different feel to the West, McCartney & Rihanna original, injecting a broader breadth of instrumentation into the track. The Norwegian producer keeps the vocals from the original, but flips the instrumental on its head, calling upon a few friends to add their own talents to the tune. Lido works the organ, with Max Osen Osnes riffing on a powerful electric guitar, but the real remix comes from the soulful horns injected by Brasstracks that resembles something that Kanye might produce back in his College Dropout days.
We had known that a collaboration between the three artists was in the works after Ty Dolla $ign revealed he had recorded some new music with Kanye West for Yeezy's upcoming album and some of the work that would include Rihanna, West and Sir Paul.
This is Lido's Sunday Service and he is preaching some glorious gospel. As Rihanna says, "I am just trying to make it back home by Monday, morning," let this remix by Lido make that Monday morning be a little better.
Stream the track below via Lido's soundcloud and don't be surprised to see this get an official release.
UPDATE: The remix got taken down from soundcloud, but here is a YouTube link.
