Paul McCartney, Rihanna, Kanye West Release 'FourFiveSeconds' Video


. (Radio.com) It's all in the eye flip--at 18 seconds into the new video for Paul McCartney, Rihanna and Kanye West's "FourFive Seconds," Rihanna briefly flips her eyes skyward in a gesture which instantly captures the song's lightheared, devil-may-care attitude towards all of life's problems.

It's the perfect visual complement to lines like, "I say what's on my mind, I might do a little time." The video--directed by Inez & Vinoodh--features stark shots of the three starts against a white background. Denim is order of the day, with all three wearing head to toe Canadian tuxedos.

Where Rihanna is somewhat flirty and irreverent, Kanye is in turn stoic and rowdy. At some points he glares at the camera, embodying his recent claim that he doesn't smile because he wants to resemble 19th century portraiture. Other times, he goes wild, two-stepping and jumping around the frame. He crouches, he leaps. He pounds his chest and throws his hands back.
