HELP(2) will be released on March 6th.

Flags – the collaboration between Damon Albarn, Grian Chatten and Kae Tempest which will feature on the second edition of HELP in aid of War Child – is streaming online now.

Tempest was, ‘honoured to be a part of this project’, while Chatten said, ‘To be gifted the chance to collaborate with such talented artists as Damon and Kae in aid of such an important cause was really special’, and Albarn added:

Recording Flags was a genuinely joyful two days, with a strong sense of purpose throughout the building. I was particularly struck by the decision to employ children to do all the filming in the studio – it felt inspiring and directly reinforced the point we were trying to make about communicating with kids, by involving them in the process itself.

It follows HELP(2)’s lead single, the brand new offering from Arctic Monkeys entitled Opening Night.
