Are you stuck in a relationship that just doesn't feel right? The Last Dinner Party captures that dizzying, never-ending cycle of being with someone you know you shouldn't, in their latest track, 'Let's Do It Again!' This powerful new song is featured on the highly anticipated 'Help(2)' charity album, a project dedicated to supporting young people impacted by war and conflict.
This star-studded compilation, set to drop on March 6th via War Child Records, aims to not only raise vital funds but also to shine a much-needed spotlight on the lives of children affected by global strife. The album has already given us a taste of its brilliance, with the Arctic Monkeys releasing their first new music since 2022, a track titled 'Opening Night,' earlier this year. More recently, a compelling collaboration between Damon Albarn, Grian Chatten, and Kae Tempest, named 'Flags,' also graced our ears.
Now, The Last Dinner Party adds their unique flair to the 'Help(2)' collection. Their contribution, 'Let's Do It Again!,' was meticulously recorded at Angel Studios and brought to life with the production expertise of James Ford and Animesh Ravel. Following the success of their second album, 'From the Pyre,' the BRIT Award winners deliver a performance that's both ethereal and intensely emotional. Abigail Morris's vocals soar, painting a vivid picture of a tumultuous connection.
She sings lines like, "Screaming down the phone/ I hear my middle name like a crossbow/ Write a poem, grow up/ Nobody knows me like you," building towards a chorus that's both desperate and hopeful: "Just let me love you again/ I will try so much harder/ Believe me, baby/ I’ll make it worth your while."
But here's where it gets even more profound: the accompanying studio clip offers a glimpse into the artistic direction of the 'HELP(2)' project. Filmmaker and Academy Award Winner Jonathan Glazer collaborated with Academy Films, empowering children to direct the cameras and share their perspectives of the world. This powerful visual includes scenes from the studios, as well as poignant footage from those on the front lines in Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen, and Sudan.
The Last Dinner Party themselves expressed their honor in participating, stating, "It’s such an honour to be included on this record for a cause that is so close to our hearts." They elaborated on the song's theme: "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." They also extended a heartfelt thank you to War Child and producer James Ford for the collaborative experience.
The 'Help(2)' album, released in 2026, is a testament to the power of music for good. It's produced and guided by the renowned James Ford, known for his work with artists like Arctic Monkeys, Gorillaz, and Florence + The Machine. The recording process involved a "close collaboration with Abbey Road Studios," with much of it captured in a single week in November 2025.
This new album follows in the footsteps of the original 'Help' record from 1995, which featured an incredible lineup including Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, and many more. That landmark album successfully raised over £1.25 million for War Child. War Child has a history of impactful musical initiatives, with previous albums like '1 Love' (2002), 'Hope' (2003), 'Help!: A Day in the Life' (2005), and 'War Child Presents Heroes' (2009).
Adding to the 'Help(2)' star power, Damon Albarn revealed that the 'Flags' track featured a choir of notable musicians, including Johnny Marr, Jarvis Cocker of Pulp, Carl Barat of The Libertines, and many others. Albarn is also set to lend his voice to Pulp's contribution, 'Begging For Change.'
The 'Help(2)' album boasts an astonishing roster of talent, featuring artists such as Anna Calvi, Arlo Parks, Arooj Aftab, Bat For Lashes, Beabadoobee, Beck, Beth Gibbons of Portishead, Big Thief, Cameron Winter, Graham Coxon of Blur, Depeche Mode, Dove Ellis, Ellie Rowsell of Wolf Alice, Foals, Greentea Peng, King Krule, Nilüfer Yanya, Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Sampha, Wet Leg, Young Fathers, and other members of Fontaines D.C.
