Artists Release Lullaby Charity Single for Palestinian Aid

A coalition of artists known as Together For Palestine has announced the release of a charity single titled "Lullaby" on December 12, aiming to raise funds for Palestinian aid organizations amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. The track features contributions from more than a dozen performers, including Brian Eno, Nai Barghouti, Neneh Cherry, Celeste, Mabel, and Dan Smith of Bastille, with all proceeds directed to support relief efforts in Gaza and beyond.

"Lullaby" reimagines the traditional Palestinian folk song "Yamma Mweel El Hawa," a melody often associated with weddings, funerals, and expressions of love and longing. The song incorporates lyrics drawn from the works of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish and English verses written by Peter Gabriel. It originated from a concept by stage designer Es Devlin and was produced by Benji B, Kieran Brunt, and Henri Davies, with arrangements and recomposition handled by Brunt and Barghouti. Mixing was done by David Wrench and Valgeir Sigurðsson, and mastering by Matt Colton. The single's artwork, created by Gazan painter Malak Mattar, draws inspiration from her painting "Shelter."

The release builds on the momentum of Together...
