Just weeks after a collaboration announcement, the Rihanna FourFiveSeconds video has premiered on Vevo, leaving fans in a frenzy. The superstar dons an understated denim outfit in the clip and is joined by rapper Kanye West and Beatles front man Paul McCartney who are also jean-clad. The clip is a throwback to the late 80s and revives the decade's Bruce Springsteen-esque fashions.
While Kanye contributes a verse to the track, Paul plays its melody on acoustic guitar. Mixing r&b, blues and rock influences, the Rihanna FourFiveSeconds release is a less dance-driven and more subtle song for the star. The song is already a Billboard and Itunes hit and introduces a new generation to Paul McCartney's music.
Despite of not releasing music in recent years, the musician has been featured on Kanye West's recent 'Only One' release and proves he's still got what it takes to attract a young audience with the help of Kanye and Rih.
