FourFiveSeconds - Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul McCartney


The hit single FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney also has to be one of my favourite songs that is trending for 2015.  This soul pop song was released on January 24, 2015 and once it was released I began to see tweets about it.  On my twitter timeline everyone had said that this song was perfection, and at first I thought it was sarcasm.  I thought it would be a mess of a song if three different artists of the different genres come together collaborating.  The only reason why I gave it a try is because these artists are very successful in the music industry.  I went on Youtube and the music video for FourFiveSeconds had appeared right away, I was thinking to myself that maybe this song could actually be good.  As I pressed play an upbeat live recording of the guitar began to play and I really liked it.  Songs that have live recordings of instruments are appealing to me because it makes the song sound natural. Rihanna then started to sing the first verse and chorus and of course I enjoyed it because I am already a big fan of Rihanna and I enjoy anything she sings.   

FourFiveSeconds is about expressing their exhaustion from all the false accusations of them being negative when all they’re trying to do is be kind hearted.  This song also shows that we may lose our temper but we are able to come back to fix ouselves.  Every time I hear FouFiveSeconds it makes me feel happy, it puts me in a great mood, and makes me to smile.  This song allows me to feel better about myself and helps me pick myself back up at times where I have had enough.


The only thing about this song is that I do not like the fact that they are wasting a perfectly good artist in this song!  Paul McCartney features in this song but does not participate in any vocals and only plays the guitar. Paul McCartney is a legend!  How could you let one of the famous singers in history feature in a song but not sing!  I believe this song would have been better if he sang because Paul McCartney is iconic and has many fans of all ages which allows to reach out to those fans and have more people listening to this song.  No matter what this song has to appeal to anyone who gives it a try because everyone can relate, everyone has those moments where you just lose control.  This song is great because it allows you to be motivated with its strong lyrics and lovely melody which is why I am a big fan of this song.
