Sources indicate that Bruce Melodie traveled to France shortly after performing in Belgium on March 7, 2026, where he shared the stage with Ugandan star Sheebah Karungi.
His trip to Paris was aimed at exploring opportunities to shoot music videos for songs from his upcoming international album, as well as collaborating with Oxlade on a brand-new track.
This marks the first time the two artists have worked together, a collaboration expected to blend their unique sounds and reach a broader global audience.
Bruce Melodie continues to demonstrate his ambition to take Rwandan music to the international stage by working with top artists across Africa and beyond.
Meanwhile, Oxlade—whose real name is Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman—has emerged as one of the most promising Afrobeat artists in recent years. He rose to prominence around 2018 through collaborations with Nigerian artists, which helped his music gain widespread attention.
Some of his most popular songs include Away, Ojuju, Ku Lo Sa, and Hold On, showcasing his signature blend of smooth vocals and emotional depth.
Known for his openness to international collaborations, Oxlade has successfully expanded his reach across Africa and globally, with a strong fanbase in countries such as South Africa, France, and the United States.
His music often explores themes of love, everyday life, and joy, making him one of the most emotionally expressive artists in the Afrobeat scene today.
In a relatively short time, Oxlade has established himself as a global force in music—combining talent, creativity, and the ability to connect with audiences worldwide.
It is within this context that his collaboration with Bruce Melodie in Paris has generated excitement, as fans eagerly await what promises to be a major Afrobeat release blending Rwandan and Nigerian musical influences.
