Album Review

1 Love
B-Unique via WEA
14th October 2002



October the 14th 2002 sees the release of '1 LOVE' - a very special album featuring five decades of life-affirming number one songs, recorded by some of the most exciting artists currently scaling the charts, to raise funds for War Child. The album is a worthy successor to the 1995 War Child 'HELP' album which raised over 1.25 million pounds for the charity.

War child plans to help children in many areas including Central Asia Middle East Central Africa, The 1 Love album will not solve all the problems. It will, however, allow War Child to contribute significantly to the quest for a more secure future. By working with children in many needy areas, War Child is working with the next generation. It is a generation that without help and support will be incapable of dealing with the distressing legacy of their parents. If there is to be hope for the future in regions scarred by decades of conflict then the seeds of that hope need to be planted now.

All famous names have contributed to this worthy charity (full list below) There are also several inspired collaborations including Badly Drawn Boy with Jools Holland, Faithless recording with Dido. All the artists have all chosen a number one track from the last 50 years to cover for 1 Love, with some inspirational and dazzling selections. The album is released in conjunction with NME, who are enjoying their fiftieth anniversary this year.
