War Child Records’ new charity album HELP(2) proves just how powerful music can be. Released on 6 March 2026, this compilation brings together an incredible mix of artists to raise money and awareness for children living through war around the world.
HELP(2) brings together top artists to support children in war zones and features newly recorded songs by big names and rising stars alike. War Child’s goal is simple. They want to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children affected by conflict. This project helps do exactly that.
Musicians didn’t just donate old tracks. They created new music together over one week at Abbey Road Studios in London. The album was produced by James Ford, a respected figure in music production.
Now, take a moment. Think about that: a room full of artists, writing and recording songs not for fame, but for kids who have lost homes and schools. That’s the heart of HELP(2)
What’s on the album? It’s packed. You’ll hear a mix of genres and styles. Big acts like Arctic Monkeys, Olivia Rodrigo, Depeche Mode, Wet Leg and Pulp all have tracks on it. There are collaborations too, like Damon Albarn teaming up with Grian Chatten and Kae Tempest.
There’s something for many tastes by War Child Records. You get indie rock, alternative sounds, and even reinterpretation of classic songs. It is not just music for charity, it is music with heart. The music video for Olivia Rodrigo’s song Book of Love was filmed by children in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan and Yemen.
But here is what matters most: every penny from the album goes toward supporting War Child’s work. That means real help for children in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Yemen and other conflict areas.
So, when you hit play, you are not just listening. You are taking part. You are helping kids survive, learn and heal. If that does not make your next playlist feel meaningful, what will?
