@RihannaFrance was aware of the release of "FourFiveSeconds" a few days before its release, and they told me that the song was supposed to be released only on Monday, so I guess Rih changed the plans and released it 2 days earlier.

Proof that they're legit (posted on Saturday afternoon) :

Mm we couldve all guessed that.
we know something is coming in 2015 and we knew it was gonna be before march. So this doesnt prove anything

Sia is already going down

They've been told that a Rihanna song with 2 features on it will drop tho, while all of us thought that the Kanye collab was Kanye's song.

Rihanna’s (@Rihanna) ‘FourFiveSeconds’ Is A Vital Refreshment to Pop Music- http://goo.gl/sbyzb6

What I respect the most, even if I didn’t like like the song, is that Rihanna took a chance and decided to not play it safe

Not only did the record deliver, at least for me, it sounds nothing like what’s on Top 40 radio. It’s not your bubble-gum pop anthem that you will expect everyone to sing to, nor is it the track that you’d expect the DJs to play multiples times in nightclubs. It’s not a boisterous urban track along the lines of ‘Pour It Up’. It’s a far cry from anything we’d expect from her, which makes it great in its own right. With 13 #1 hits to her name, Rihanna surely isn’t starving for another hit. ‘FourFiveSeconds’ sounds like a major artistic progression and gives off the impression that Rihanna is aiming for more critical acclaim versus commercial success.

With the introduction of ‘FourFiveSeconds’ to the world, Rihanna has what it takes to create a new shift in the current state of Pop music. Furthermore, ‘FourFiveSeconds’ sparks a hope for change. I’m not advocating for artists to completely abandon their respective sounds, but to be open to experimenting instead of playing it safe. Whether Rihanna’s risk with ‘FourFiveSeconds’ was effective or not is yet to be determined.

If anything, the release of ‘FourFiveSeconds’ was needed, appreciated, and arguably just what Rihanna needed to help solidify herself as a future legend.

I was reading this one just minutes ago, amazing review!

Have y'all seen any negative/mixed review yet?

[Rider]

And I knoooooow that you're up tonight
Thinking how could I beeee so selfish
But you called bout a thouuuusand times
Wondering where I've beeeeeeeeeeen
Now I know that you're home tonight
Thinking how could I be so reckless
But I just can't apologize
I hope you can understttaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaandd.

[Slim Shady]

has kanye OR paul promoted this yet?!?!?!

[BajanBeauty]

I love that while people are freaking out over charts positions others have noted Rih is NOT trying to get a hit. If it becomes one that's great but just appreciate it for what it is: something different.

We already knew she worked with kanye and that other guy

[ForeverNow90]

The New York Post kinda dragged her. They gave the song 1 star, but outside that... It's receiving rave reviews

Yeah Slate Magazine gave it a negative review. And random urban blogs that always hate on Rih bashed it. ( But that was expected)


I would say this is mixed

Here’s the thing, though: This song has hardly anything at all to do with Kanye West or Paul McCartney. This might be the single best Rihanna vocal performance ever. And this is her song, not theirs. Is the arrangement a little coffee shop by way of Korg Triton? Sure. But maybe that means Rihanna is about to record her Court and Spark. Who’s more equipped to write a modern-day “Free Man in Paris” than Rihanna?

Heres another one but I think its more of a parody cause they're talking as if they're interviewing Paul

Pop legends Rihanna and Kanye West draft in Paul McCartney of Wings fame
For new single FourFiveSeconds, Rihanna has got West to convince Sir Paul to drop by for some vocals and acoustic strumming

Paul RT'ed Rihanna's tweet (iTunes link) & iTunes' tweet about the song. Kanye didn't say anything about it since its release.
