Not as grand as the stellar cast Kanye West managed to pull off in 2010 with “All of the Lights”, off the iconic My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, although it exceeds expectations with magnificent vocal patterns. Rihanna is amongst one of the biggest artists that exist today, and this acoustic ballad will potentially flood the radio in the coming weeks. A risky first single off Rihanna’s latest album introduces minimalistic production aided by Mr. West, Paul McCartney and Mike Dean. The pop princess is back with a vengeance.
ok it grew on me after listening to it non stop. Still think the song would've been MILES better without Kanye and that crackhead yelling/shouting while kanye's singing wtf.
But yeah, i find myself singing Rihanna's parts now I guess I kinda like it.
The song would be flawless without Kanye. When I first heard it, I got literal goosebumps and then he came on and I was like.....uhhhhh.
And after repeated listens, I still love it just as much, but still can't adjust to Kanye. He just completely ruins it for me. ****, him rapping over acoustic guitar would have sounded better than what he gives the track.
3 Rihanna and Kanye West and Paul McCartney - FourFiveSec... 0.4924 0.4843 0.4823
Two green positive updates in the US in a row
AUSTRALIA:
2 Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk (feat. Bruno Mars) 0.7257 0.7261
3 Hozier - Take Me to Church 0.6941 0.6893
4 Rihanna and Kanye West and Paul McCartney - FourFiveSec... 0.6805 0.6643
Anyway I wish this single pulled WFL/Diamonds and built kinda nice airplay and then peak at the top of iTunes & Hot 100. Not sure if it happens this time.
Radio is thirsty for new Rihanna but this song is trash. I might use it if it was her solo but I do not use those other people. Kanye's verses sound like a parody.
wtf.
