US EditionWar Child UK looks to 'Help' again with a new benefit album, 30 years after its first success
Help(2) features unreleased tracks from top artists to support children in conflict zones, continuing the success of the original 1995 album that raised £1.25 million.
- War Child UK's new compilation, Help, features unreleased tracks from Arctic Monkeys, Olivia Rodrigo, and Wet Leg to support children in war zones, releasing Friday.
- The charity's history dates to 1995 when War Child UK's Help compilation raised more than 1.25 million pounds, and rising child hardship made a follow-up urgent.
- Studio sessions included children forming a choir and footage filmed for a documentary by director Jonathan Glazer, with parts recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, for 'Begging for Change.'
- Benefit compilations attract new listeners and offer a DIY way for artists to support causes, with Graham Hastings of Young Fathers calling involvement a 'no-brainer' to aid children in conflict.
- Longstanding artist ties were evident when the compilation assembled acts from Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, and a supergroup with Paul McCartney and Paul Weller, recorded around Glastonbury Festival, June 28, 2025.
