Michael Brun Bridges Worlds with “Safe,” a Konpa-Infused Collaboration with John Legend and Rutshelle Guillaume

Haitian DJ and producer Michael Brun has consistently championed his roots, weaving the vibrant sounds of Konpa into electronic music. On November 13th, he dropped “Safe,” a new single that takes this fusion to another level, featuring the soulful vocals of John Legend and Haitian songstress Rutshelle Guillaume.

“Safe” is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a testament to the power of cultural exchange and unity. Brun masterfully blends Legend’s signature smooth R&B style with the infectious rhythms of Konpa, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. Rutshelle’s verses, sung in Haitian Creole, add another layer of depth and authenticity, further grounding the song in its Haitian heritage. Her harmonious voice touches the soul of listeners and takes you on a voyage throughout the coast of the island. This collaboration is a big win for the artist and Haiti as a whole. We hope there are major upcoming opportunities await the songstress.

This collaboration is particularly poignant given the current socio-political climate in Haiti. Brun, who has been vocal about the need for support and solidarity with his homeland, uses “Safe” as a platform to spread awareness and promote understanding. The song’s message of love, resilience, and hope resonates deeply, offering a sense of comfort and reassurance in the face of adversity.

For Legend, “Safe” marks a departure from his usual sound, showcasing his versatility as an artist. His willingness to explore new musical territories and collaborate with artists from different backgrounds speaks volumes about his commitment to pushing creative boundaries.

With “Safe,” Michael Brun not only delivers a captivating musical experience but also highlights the richness and beauty of Haitian culture. He bridges the gap between global audiences and the often-overlooked sounds of Konpa, reminding us of the power of music to connect and inspire. This is a song that deserves to be heard, shared, and celebrated.
