HELP(2) is a brand new collaborative album, inspired by the landmark 1995 release 'HELP', which brings music lovers together in support of War Child's vital work delivering immediate aid, education, specialist mental health support, and protection to children affected by conflict around the world. The new album, like the original, speaks to the urgency of the situation for the 1 in 5 children globally living through war today. Recorded in a single day in 1995, the original 'HELP' album raised over £1.2 million, enabling the charity to provide vital support to thousands of children caught in the Bosnian conflict, and was hailed as "the best charity album ever made" by critics.HELP(2) was recorded (predominantly), thanks to their generosity, at Abbey Road Studios, across one special week in November 2025. Under the stewardship of acclaimed producer James Ford, HELP(2) features an incredible line-up of contributors including Anna Calvi, Arctic Monkeys, Arlo Parks, Arooj Aftab, Bat For Lashes, Beabadoobee, Beck, Beth Gibbons, Big Thief, Black Country, New Road, Cameron Winter, Damon Albarn, Depeche Mode, Dove Ellis, Ellie Rowsell, English Teacher, Ezra Collective, Foals, Fontaines D.C., Graham Coxon, Greentea Peng, Grian Chatten, Kae Tempest, King Krule, Nilüfer Yanya, Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Sampha, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg and Young Fathers... amongst other musicians, engineers, mixers and producers.All proceeds from this album support War Child UK to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children living through conflict around the world.HELP(2) represents hope for children whose lives have been torn apart by war. It is a testament to the generosity of artists and the music industry for making a positive difference towards securing a safer, brighter future for those children. Because no child should be part of war. Ever.
