Philanthropy War Child Album

Thirty years after the success of its star-studded “Help” benefit compilation, War Child UK is releasing its follow-up called “Help(2)."  The project features Arctic Monkeys, Olivia Rodrigo, Wet Leg and others. The album, out Friday, is meant to raise money and attention for the charity's initiatives supporting children living through war. War Child UK’s Rich Clarke says the timing felt right because musicians now feel they need to act. Pulp's Jarvis Cocker said the band finished a long-stalled song for the album and even allowed children to film him in the studio for the companion documentary.
