That’s what happened with Kanye, you know, it came through the grapevine: ‘Are you interested in working with me?’ So I said, ‘Wow, yeah, I’ll give that a shot.’ “McCartney says the experience was “very interesting” — but almost didn’t recognize his own contribution to the final version of the track, which came out in 2015.Paul McCartney.David M.

I didn’t think I’d done anything, but suddenly I got sent ‘Four Five Seconds’ with Rihanna.““I like that one,” he says of the collaboration, adding, “I had to say, ‘Am I on this record?’ … ‘That’s you doing that guitar.’ They’d sped it up so it wasn’t recognizable.”
