SOUND & COLOR: THE SONGS, 2015.


01/rihanna/kanye/paul mccartney/fourfiveseconds

there's something about fourfiveseconds. something about its simplicity and the chemistry of all parties involved all working to get their point across urgently without overthinking or overdoing it. something about the magic and grit in rihanna's vocal, paul's gentle and serene strumming, that organ in the middle that takes everything to church, & kanye shining in song without doing any rapping. something about how the song is nothing more than genuine raw emotion for three minutes from three of the biggest superstars to ever do it, but it's not about celebrity or theatrics or grandstanding, just release and setting things straight while playing it straight. sometimes less is more, and fourfiveseconds is living proof.
