Love this song!

We LOVE Rihanna’s collaboration with Paul McCartney and Kanye West but it turns out they weren’t the only celebrities singing on the track.

It’s been revealed that 90s girlgroup Wilson Phillips sang backing vocals for the We Found Love singer on the hit single and said that Kanye was responsible for getting them involved.

“[Kanye] said, ‘When I think of authenticity and I think of angelic, I think of you.’ He was really shy and he would just smile and he’s real soft-spoken, then all of a sudden when he started playing all these songs, he was dancing around the room. It was just like how Michael Jackson used to be,” said Carnie Wilson.

“When he would press play, it was like, out came the artist and the creativity was just really there. We didn’t know if we were singing on a section of the song—originally it was supposed to be just the bridge. He gave us sole freedom to just do what we do. We just went in there and let loose.”
