We say
Heroes is the forthcoming charity album in aid of War Child. The album concept is that iconic artists select their favourite songs from their own canon and nominate an artist from the next generation to rework it. Elbow provide a beautiful cover of one of our favourite U2 songs here. Elsewhere on the album, Lily Allen covers a Clash b-side, Hot Chip cover Joy Division, Duffy sings a Paul McCartney song and Estelle does a Stevie Wonder classic. A raft of media activity is planned to support the release. EMI has made a substantial upfront donation to War Child and all UK profits made by Parlophone will be passed to War Child to help protect children living in the world's most dangerous war zones. Pre-order and/or donate. JFContact
