Rihanna, who has topped the charts with a pop-driven R&B sound, has unveiled a new acoustic song in a collaboration with Beatles legend Paul McCartney.
Rihanna
unexpectedly late Saturday released the new single, "FourFiveSeconds,"
which features the Barbados-born singer's signature robust voice but has
a minimal backdrop of McCartney's guitar strumming without percussion
or electronic elements. The song also features verses sung by rapper
Kanye West.
The track is the latest collaboration between West
and McCartney, who unexpectedly released a song on New Year's Day after
the two stars met each other in Los Angeles.
"FourFiveSeconds"
is a song about personal travails and confusion, with Rihanna singing,
"We got three more days 'til Friday / I'm just trying to make it back
home by Monday morning."
The
song could offer hints at the directions of both Rihanna and West, who
are separately expected to unveil new albums this year.
Rihanna,
who has released seven studio albums, has become an international
superstar with electronic-dominated songs such as the ballad "Diamonds"
and the danceable "Only Girl (In The World)."
Her
music has at times been overshadowed by her turbulent relationship with
fellow singer Chris Brown, who pleaded guilty to assaulting her in
2009.
