Brian Eno, Neneh Cherry, and a collective โขof over 100 artists โขhave joined forces to release a โฃbenefitโ single, “#TogetherForPalestine,” to raise funds for medical aid organizations supporting โขPalestinians.โค The single, launched December 8, is available across major โstreaming platforms and aims to provide critical assistance amid the ongoing humanitarianโฃ crisis in Gaza.
The initiative arrives as globalโ concern mounts over the escalating conflict and its โdevastating impact on civilians.Proceeds from “#TogetherForPalestine” will be split between the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) and the Palestine Medical Relief Service (PMRS), organizations providing urgent medical care and humanitarian aid to those affected by the โคconflict. This collaborative effort underscores a growingโ wave of artistic activism โฃresponding to the crisis, alongside other initiatives like benefit concerts andโฃ music geoblocking campaigns.
The โฃdiverse roster of contributing artists includes prominent names such as Eno, Cherry, Peter Gabriel, Imogen Heap, and Kae Tempest, alongside โขa broad spectrum of emergingโ andโข established musicians. The single’s release follows a benefit concert organized by โขMustafa in Los Angeles, scheduled for January 10, featuring artists like Geese, Bloodโ Orange, Alex G, Clairo, and Faye Webster, hosted โคby โฃBellaโ Hadid and Pedroโค Pascal.
Further demonstrating solidarity, a growing number of โคartists-including Myโ Bloody Valentine, Saba, Shygirl, YHWH Nailgun, and Denzel Curry-have joinedโค the “No Music for Genocide” campaign, geoblocking their โmusic inโค Israel. This campaign aims to exert economic pressure โฃand amplify calls for a ceasefire and lasting peace.
Pitchforkโ previously โreviewed the “Together for Palestine” concert, describingโ it โขas “gutting but necessary,”โค highlighting the powerโ of artistic expression โin addressing global crises.”#TogetherForPalestine” represents anotherโ facet ofโค this response, offering a direct avenue for โขsupportโข and raising awareness of the urgent humanitarian needs in the region.
