HELP(2)

HELP(2) is a collaborative album project released via War Child Records on 6th March 2026 to engage music lovers globally in support of War Child's work delivering education, specialist mental health support, and protection to children affected by conflict. The album speaks to the urgency of the humanitarian situation globally today.

HELP(2) was recorded across one week in November 2025 at Abbey Road Studios, under the stewardship of acclaimed producer James Ford.

It features 23 tracks from a line-up of artists including Arctic Monkeys, Arlo Parks, Beabadoobee, Beck, Beth Gibbons, Big Thief, Greentea Peng, Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Sampha, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg, Young Fathers and more.

Renowned filmmaker Jonathan Glazer acted as Creative Director assembling a team of creatives to oversee the filming and art direction for the project. The concept was simple - “By Children, For Children” - with cameras handed to children to see the world through their eyes and serve as a reminder of the reason for the endeavor to the audience.

Each child operated their own camera filming artists recording in the studio without restrictions. Teams also worked in Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen and Sudan gathering footage filmed by children on the ground in these conflict zones. The results are a stunning piece of work that connects the album to the children the project seeks to help.

All services, time and expertise were donated and there was no media spend. The results were a #1 UK album, national and global press and significant funds raised.
