Arctic Monkeys and Olivia Rodrigo Participate in Charity Album 'HELP(2)', Releasing March 6

The band Pulp, singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo, and other global pop stars are releasing a charity album 'HELP(2)' to support children suffering from war.

Record distributor Beggar's Group announced on the 23rd that the album 'HELP(2)', featuring about 30 artists, will be released on March 6 through the independent record label War Child Records.

'HELP(2)' is a charity album produced to provide emergency relief and education to children affected by international conflicts.

This album is a follow-up project to the 1995 release 'HELP', which featured Paul McCartney, Oasis, Radiohead, and others, winning the Brit Awards and making a significant impact at the time.

The album includes contributions from Pulp, Olivia Rodrigo, Blur's frontman Damon Albarn, Arctic Monkeys, Fontaines D.C., singer-songwriter Beabadoobee, King Krule, and others.

A total of 23 tracks are included, and 'Opening Night' performed by Arctic Monkeys was pre-released as a single on that day.

Director Jonathan Glazer, known for his Academy Award-winning film 〈The Zone of Interest〉, participated as the creative director and was responsible for the project filming.

War Child Records, which released 'HELP' in 1995, plans to use all proceeds from this album for children affected by conflicts.

War Child Records stated, "When 'HELP' was first released, about 10% of children worldwide were affected by conflicts, but now that number has nearly doubled, with one in five children suffering from war. Continuing the spirit of collective action that the previous work embodied is even more urgent at this moment."
