The Last Dinner Party have released the War Child charity single Let’s Do It Again! taken from the star-studded HELP (2) LP.
The song arrives as the group continue to ride the wave of success from their acclaimed second album, From the Pyre. Recorded at Angel Studios and produced by James Ford and Animesh Ravel, the new track captures the band’s trademark theatrical flair — a sweeping, dramatic pop sound that has defined their rapid rise over the past five years.
In a statement, the band said: “It’s such an honour to be included on this record for a cause that is so close to our hearts.
“The song is about the endless carousel of being in a relationship you know you shouldn’t be in, but giving in to the inexorable tug of returning every time you leave. We’d like to say a huge thank you to War Child for asking us to be a part of the project and to James Ford for producing us — it was such a joy to work with him again.”
Let’s Do It Again! follows a string of high-profile releases already teased from HELP (2), including Opening Night by Arctic Monkeys and Flags by Damon Albarn, Grian Chatten and Kae Tempest.
Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Depeche Mode, Fontaines D.C., and many more feature.
The album serves as a modern companion to War Child’s landmark 1995 compilation HELP, which united some of the biggest names in music to raise funds for children affected by conflict.
Like its predecessor, HELP (2) aims to spotlight the urgent humanitarian crises facing young people around the world today. Proceeds will support War Child’s work providing emergency aid, education, mental-health support and protection for children living in war zones.
HELP (2) will be released on March 6, via War Child Records.
