Among the stacked casts of musicians on the record is also Black Country, New Road, The Last Dinner Party, King Krule, Arlo Parks, and more, with collaborations between Anna Calvi, Ellie Rowsell, Nilüfer Yanya & Dove Ellis, English Teacher & Graham Coxon, and Ezra Collective & Greentea Peng.
The information comes via a post on the indieheads subreddit where a link was shared to a listing for HELP (2), taken from an online store. The page details the artists featured on the album, but there's no detail yet on what songs will be part of the record.
Warchild first teased an upcoming special project with the launch of a Warchild Records Instagram page earlier this month, sharing: "There is a group of artists who are working on something in support of War Child. There will be more information coming soon." Just yesterday (21 January), it was revealed that Arctic Monkeys would be sharing a new track today — their first in four years — to land on the mysterious record.
Arctic Monkey are due to reveal the first track from the album - titled "Opening Night" – at 3pm today, with the song already streaming on Apple Music.
The album follows the 1995 release of War Child's original HELP album, which was recorded over a single day in September of the same year. The release raised over £1.25 million for War Child, and is still regarded as one of the most legendary compilations to date, with artists on the album including Oasis, Radiohead, The Stone Roses, Blur, Portishead, Massive Attack, and more.
