Where have you been, new Rihanna music? With her heavily anticipated eighth studio album on the horizon, Rihanna surprised fans Saturday by unleashing "FourFiveSeconds," a chill guitar jam featuring Kanye West on vocals and Paul McCartney on guitar.

The song is a departure from her dance anthems like "Where Have You Been" and "We Found Love," but it's more uptempo than her ballads like "Stay" and "What Now."

"FourFiveSeconds" comes just weeks after West and McCartney released "Only One," which has lyrics written from the perspective of West's mother Donda West, who died of complications from cosmetic surgery in 2007.
