  • Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul McCartney New Song 'FourFiveSeconds' - Beatle is Co-Producer on Yeezy's Album [LISTEN]

    There's some form of expectation that a track featuring Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney is going to be a pop sensation.

Like its West/McCartney predecessor, "Only One," the new track opts for a stripped-down production. The former Beatle strums an acoustic guitar while Rihanna carries the tune, giving West a few pockets to add his two cents.
