Award-winning charity War Child has teamed up with Island Records and the very best in young urban talent to release an epic new single in support of children ravaged by war around the world.
The cream of Britain's young urban artists, known collectively as Young Soul Rebels came together on July 6th to record 'I Got Soul', a new, re-written version of the stirring Killers track 'All These Things That I've Done,' at Metropolis Studios in London.
Featured artists include:
N-Dubz, Tinchy Stryder, Pixie Lott, Frankmusik, Chipmunk, V.V. Brown, Ironik, Bashy, Mpho, McLean, Kid British, Egypt, Domino Go, London Community Gospel Choir
'I Got Soul' has been produced under the expert stewardship of Fraser T Smith, who has already achieved phenomenal success with two number one records for Tinchy Stryer and hits for James Morrison this year.
The track, based around the hook line 'I Got Soul, But I'm Not A Soldier,' will undoubtedly become an anthem this autumn, and will throw the spotlight on the vital work War Child does with ex-child soldiers and those who suffer from the tragic effects of war around the world.
A defining moment for the UK's music scene, which is currently ablaze with world class talent, the song is the perfect way to educate British youth on the plight of thousands of children across the globe. UK urban and soul music has never been bigger; the artists here have featured on five number one singles already this year.
