More info about new song â€œStrandedâ€ feat. Rihanna

Bono wrote the hook for â€œStrandedâ€ â€” his new Haiti benefit single with Jay-Z and Rihanna, which is subtitled either â€œHaiti Mon Amourâ€ or â€œHaiti Mi Amoreâ€ â€” while on the phone with producer Swizz Beatz. â€œThe idea of the song is â€˜Weâ€™re not gonna leave you strandedâ€™ and thatâ€™s what the chorus is,â€ Swizz Beatz tells Rolling Stone. â€œSo me and Bono started going back and forth with ideas, and he was like, â€˜You know this word stranded keeps standing out to meâ€™ and I asked him to sing it, and he put me on hold â€™cause heâ€™s recording the ideas on a Dictaphone â€” so he did it there and then on the phone.â€

Thnx to Federico

Swizz Beatz got the song started by sending simultaneous texts to Jay-Z and Bono â€” but when they both called, he accidentally hung up on Jay while trying to conference them. After three hours of phone tag, they all agreed to the project, which came together in geographically scattered sessions, with extra production work by the Edge. â€œI knew that Jay would be able to tell a story, and that Bono would be able to sing and bring it home. The last component that I added was Rihanna, and sheâ€™s kinda like the angel thatâ€™s on the track, softening it up and giving it that caring feeling, because this hook is so powerful.â€

The song will debut with a live performance on Friday nightâ€™s multi-network telethon for Haiti, and will soon be released as a single on iTunes, according to Swizz Beatz.

Rihanna really has the best fans . We argue, fuss, fight, cuss, yet come together for

Knowing that these folks got bher back always has to be refreshing BRAVO RD!

Good girl gone bad sold 1.277.000 copies by its 8th week worldwide…

Lizzy.la.la

The blogs will be running with the fact that Beyonce & Alicia Keyes hubby/bf wrote & produced this track, yet asked Rihanna to sing on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mwahhhhhhhhh :rotfl: :clap:
nomore

237 RIHANNA IS SINGING ON IT BECAUSE JAYZ KNOWS WHO HAS HAD THEIR TIME AND HAS COME TO PASS IN THE BUSINESS. LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AND IT’S NOT RIHANNA. ALICIA AND BOREYAWNSAY ARE OLD NEWS. WELL, ALICIA HAS LONGEVITY, BUT BOREYAWNSAY IS FADING, SHE’S JUST A NAME NOW AND I LAUGH EVERY TIME I HEAR THAT VIDEO PHONE SONG BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT FOR SURE LADY GAGA WAS GONNA HELP HER GET ANOTHER #1 SO PUTIT THIS WAY, when so called it girls/boys need collaborations to stay relevant their time is up. IRHANNA IS YOUNG AND JUST GETTING STARTED. JAYZ KNOWS WHERE THE MONY IS!

I hope she perform this song at the grammys with U2, and Jay Z with the edge. that would be hot!
Annie

Rihanna is really showing the masses how marketable she is. Her ghetto single is a pop hit the redemption song is climbing this is def an upcoming hit and you know rude boy is going to slay. Rihanna owns this year she has four garuanteed top ten singles. I’m so proud of her
