One of the most unexpected collabs of the decade Rihanna can now say she has a Paul McCartney feature. Not even Madonna can say that.

She did the movie Shanghai Surprise produced by George Harrison though.

Which nobody saw

I'm not a Rihanna fan, but I think it's decent song, except for the Kanye part which is distracting. The good thing is they don't use effects on her voice, which is nice and raw. I'd to hear a version without Kanye.

I find Rihanna somewhat lacking in the vocal department, but this song is my new guilty pleasure. Reportedly, McCartney once again played all the instruments and wrote the melody. It's good to hear Kanye singing without the use of Auto-Tune.

i dont need that at all but i must say that kanye is doing his thing without taking any compromises! i loved his first two records and than he took a way i cant follow but he is still on the run like no one else in the industrty... this is something prince had in the `80s - do you remember?

if you think his vocal isn't tuned i have a bridge i can sell you

as for the song... it's ok... i like rihanna... i think she's crazy talented and (to me) has a lot more substance artistically that many of her contemporaries

i probably would enjoy the song more if she'd sung the whole thing

sounds like a B-side

I kind of dig the song. I give Rihanna some props actually. She may have made some shitty pop songs. But she really is stepping out of her comfort zone here. And i always like when an artist does that. And it's interesting hearing Kanye without auto tune as well.

Paul is co-producing half of kanyes album. I wonder if it's all accoustic stuff? like this & Only One.

I like it..you have to admit, when it comes to creating catchy pop tunes, nobody really holds a candle to Paul McCartney...I'm also surprised about Rihanna's vocals, very nice delivery..but then I always had a soft spot for her.

Could have done without Kanye, though..not really sure what he contributes to this song other than his name.

This shit is unforgiveably awful

People are already saying this will go number 1.


That would be 5 number 1 hits for YE
14 for Rihanna
10 for Paul McCartney... 30 number 1 hits if you count the Beatles too 0_0 whew.

Don't care for it.

For the record a note to Rihanna and Kanye for that matter. Working with a LEGEND does not make U one, creating your own legendary stuff that has worldwide appeal change and inspiration to the next generationS! is what makes you legendary

So you seriously think RIHANNA is a legend? Or has that kind of talent or capacity to pull that off. SORRY but not thinking every song that is new that comes out is the "shit" has nothing to do with age or any BS fall back crutch that everyone uses, saying that something is better than something else or a way something was done was better in another era, that's just reality deal with it. Nothing is older than the argument "oh your old, closed minded" spare me that fucking BS

It's just a joke lastdecember. Calm your tits before they lactate you take your music opinions way too seriously.

Same opinion as that other Kanye song from last week - stay off the singing, Kanye! Seriously not a good tone singing voice, even when it's been put in tune

.

Fuck, it would've been interesting to hear Paul singing on this with Rihanna! I actually think she has an interesting tone, even though her range is pretty safe.

Dump Kanye and the autotune and the song might have a chance.

Simple, but enjoyable. I love Kanyes blank stares

Paul McCartney Recording With Lady Gaga
by Jeff Giles February 4, 2015 10:34 AM

Whatever’s in that vegan diet of his must not have any kind of negative impact on Paul McCartney‘s energy level, because the 72-year-old ex-Beatle seems to be everywhere these days.

As previously reported, McCartney recently raised eyebrows (and confused a few younger listeners) when he collaborated with Kanye West for West’s new ‘Only One’ single — and repeated the feat when he joined West and Rihanna for another new track, ‘FourFiveSeconds.’ With that out of the way, he’s apparently moved on to some sort of project with Lady Gaga and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready.

Gaga, who previously rubbed shoulders with greatness when she recorded an entire album with Tony Bennett, broke the news on her Instagram account, posting a series of photos and telling followers, “Had a beautiful session with Sir Paul McCartney and friends. Working on one of his many secret projects! Killer musicians, vibe and lots of laughs.”

And for those of you who take offense at the notion of McCartney working with a performer who once appeared in public wearing a dress made out of raw meat, just know that it almost didn’t happen. “I’ll never forget when he called me last year to work,” wrote Gaga. “I hung up the phone cuz I thought it was a prank!”

We’ll doubtless hear the results of the Gaga/McCartney/McCready summit soon. In the meantime, check out photos from the sessions below.

Coming soon...
