Various Artists HELP(2)

HELP(2) is an extraordinary collaborative project bringing together some of the most influential artists in contemporary music, all in support of War Child UK, helping protect, educate and advocate for children living through conflict around the world.

Inspired by the spirit of the original HELP charity album, this ambitious follow-up was recorded largely across one remarkable week at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in November 2025. Under the guidance of acclaimed producer James Ford as Executive Producer, the project assembled an exceptional lineup of contributors spanning generations and genres.

Artists involved include Anna Calvi, Arctic Monkeys, Arlo Parks, Arooj Aftab, Bat For Lashes, Beabadoobee, Beck, Beth Gibbons, Big Thief, Black Country New Road, Damon Albarn, Depeche Mode, Foals, Fontaines D.C., Graham Coxon, Greentea Peng, Kae Tempest, King Krule, Nilüfer Yanya, Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Sampha, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg, Young Fathers and many more collaborators across the music community.

The project’s visual direction was overseen by acclaimed filmmaker Jonathan Glazer and his team at Academy Films, creating a cohesive artistic vision to accompany the recordings.

Pressed on vinyl 2LP, HELP(2) stands as both a powerful musical statement and a meaningful charitable initiative, uniting artists from across the global music scene for an important cause.
