"Pulp have shared their contribution to the upcoming HELP(2) Warchild UK charity compilation. "Begging for Change" may be the most rocking Pulp song ever, a glammy, garagey rave-up that still features many of the band's signature earmarks (Jarvis Cocker's sexy whispering, spelling) and a backing chorus that includes Damon Albarn, Fontaines D.C.'s Grian Chatten, Kae Tempest and The Libertines' Carl Barat. This one's a lot of fun and you can listen below. You can also watch in-studio footage, which was shot by children, below."
"HELP(2) is out March 6 via Warchild and also features songs by Arctic Monkeys, Olivia Rodrigo (covering The Magnetic Fields' "The Book of Love"), Fontaines D.C. (covering Sinead O'Connor's "Black Boys on Mopeds"), Cameron Winter, Pulp, Depeche Mode, Damon Albarn / Grian Chatten / Kae Tempest, Wet Leg, Black Country New Road, The Last Dinner Party, Arooj Aftab & Beck, English Teacher & Graham Coxon, King Krule, Bat For Lashes, Beth Gibbons, Ezra Collective & Greentea Peng, and more."
"Jarvis says now, "Thirty years ago we gave our Mercury Prize (and the prize money) to War Child. This year we have given more. How much more? You'll have to wait and see.""
Pulp contributed "Begging for Change" to the HELP(2) War Child UK charity compilation. "Begging for Change" is a glammy, garagey rave-up that retains Pulp's signature earmarks, including Jarvis Cocker's whispering and spelling, and features a backing chorus with Damon Albarn, Fontaines D.C.'s Grian Chatten, Kae Tempest and Carl Barat. In-studio footage for the song was shot by children. Pulp previously donated their 1995 Mercury Prize money (£25,000) to War Child UK and have donated additional funds for HELP(2). HELP(2) is released March 6 and includes tracks from Arctic Monkeys, Olivia Rodrigo, Depeche Mode, Wet Leg, King Krule, and many others.
