    "comment": "Damon Albarn, Fontaines D.C.’s Grian Chatten, and Kae Tempest join forces on the second single to be released from the new War Child compilation Help(2).\n\nTheir song, \"Flags,\" features musical backup from Johnny Marr, Portishead’s Adrian Utley, the Invisible’s Dave Okumu, and Albarn’s Gorillaz bandmates Seye Adelekan and Femi Koleoso (also of Ezra Collective). \n\nAlong with the all-star cast of musicians, “Flags” is backed by a 43-piece choir that counts Marr, Jarvis Cocker, the Libertines’ Carl Barat, Let’s Eat Grandma’s Rosa Walton, Declan McKenna, Marika Hackman, English Teacher, and Black Country, New Road among its number. https://tinyurl.com/k77rka8z\n\nWar Child is a charity which \"[works] to protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children living through conflict.\"\n\nIn previous years, War Child has released compilation albums bringing artists together to raise funds for the charity and to spread awareness.\n\nMost notable was The Help Album produced by Brian Eno, which was recorded in a single day in September 1995 and featured contributions from artists such as Radiohead, Blur and Oasis. The album would go on to sell 70,000 copies in its first week and raise £1,200,000 for the charity.\n\nIn 2025, War Child reached out to James Ford and asked him to work on Help(2), to which he felt \"incredibly honoured.\"\n\nThe album was recorded over a period of one week in Abbey Road Studios. During recording of the album, artists often collaborated with each other; examples include a choir consisting of members from English Teacher, Pulp and Black Country, New Road among others on \"Flags,\" Cameron Winter and cellist Amy Langley performing together on \"Warning\" and Olivia Rodrigo with Blur guitarist Graham Coxon for \"The Book of Love,\" a cover of the song by the Magnetic Fields. https://tinyurl.com/2kejmbnk",
