Official deets are as follows: *War Child’s amazing new album Heroes will be released on February 16th 2009. The album concept is that the biggest legends in music history select their personal fave song from their own song writing canon, and nominate an artist from the next generation to create a modern reworking of that classic song. Many acts that were keen to join the project have now completed and delivered their tracks, and the album has been mastered at the legendary Abbey Road studios. The full track listing will be announced in January, but includes contributions from Scissor Sisters, Duffy, Elbow, Hot Chip, Beck, Rufus Wainwright & The Kooks. U2 & The Clash join a stellar cast of legends including Sir Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, The Kinks & Joy Division. EMI has made a substantial upfront payment to War Child, and will release the album on its Parlophone label. Parlophone is donating all profits to War Child’s work to protect the most marginalized children in war zones, who would otherwise be overlooked: street children, child soldiers & children in prison.*
