You can now download the studio recording of ‘Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)’ by Jay-Z, Rihanna, Bono and Edge. Proceeds go to help the people of Haiti rebuild their lives.
Produced by Swizz Beatz and Declan Gaffney, ‘Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)’ was written and recorded within a week and first performed at last weekend’s ‘Hope For Haiti Now’ global telethon - which raised more than $60m to support relief work.
‘Sitting in the studio and watching Haiti hurting, I knew immediately I had to do something,’ said Swizz Beatz. ‘I reached out to my friends Bono and Jay-Z and asked for their help. Jay and Rihanna sent their vocals and that same night Bono and I went into the studio.’ Swizz Beatz added, ‘It’s important we as a global community all come together to help. Haiti needs us right now.’
Download the studio version or the live performance version of ‘Stranded’ or get both when you download the ‘Hope for Haiti Now’ live album - which has already shot to the top of the Billboard 200, raising millions more to support the work of agencies like Partners in Health, Oxfam America, the Red Cross, UNICEF, Yele Haiti Foundation, United Nations World Food Program and the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.
