"The Gorillaz frontman has teamed up with Fontaines D.C's Grian Chatten and poet/recording artist Kae Tempest for a track called "Flags." Oh, but wait, the song's star power doesn't stop there as the trio were joined at Abbey Road Studios late last year by Johnny Marr, Portishead's Adrian Utley, Gorillaz bassist Seye Adelekan, Femi Koleoso (Ezra Collective), and a 44-piece children's choir."
"Aside from these tease tracks, the compilation boasts Olivia Rodrigo covering The Magnetic Fields' "The Book of Love," Fontaines D.C.'s rendition of Sinéad O'Connor's "Black Boys on Mopeds," and new recordings from Cameron Winter, Beabadoobee, Foals, Depeche Mode, Pulp, Big Thief, Wet Leg, Beth Gibbons, Arooj Aftab and Beck, Arlo Parks, The Last Dinner Party, Sampha, Young Fathers, and King Krule, among several others."
HELP(2) is a War Child Records charity compilation featuring new tracks and covers by many high-profile artists. Damon Albarn collaborates with Fontaines D.C.'s Grian Chatten and Kae Tempest on "Flags," recorded at Abbey Road with Johnny Marr, Adrian Utley, Seye Adelekan, Femi Koleoso and a 44-piece children's choir plus a secondary adult choir including Jarvis Cocker, Carl Barat and members of Let's Eat Grandma, English Teacher and Black Country New Road. The song is described as a bold statement of resilience, piano-centric and emotionally intimate.
