Brian Eno, Neneh Cherry, Nadine Shah and a number of artists have united as Together For Palestine to record a new charity single, ‘Lullaby’.
A cover of the traditional Palestinian song ‘Yamma Mweel El Hawa’, the English-language version has been written by Peter Gabriel, while the Palestinian musician Nai Barghouti arranged and recomposed the song alongside Shards’ Kieran Brunt. It will be released next month with an aim to hit the Christmas No. 1 spot in the UK charts.
In a statement, Eno said: “After a year defined by unimaginable loss, grief and injustice, we want to end with an act of love for Palestine’s children. ‘Lullaby’ reflects their beauty, their longing, and their hope. If we rally together and download it, we have a real shot at landing Christmas No. 1 – and turning that moment into vital life-saving support for Gaza’s families.”
Barghouti added: “This lullaby from our Palestinian musical heritage has been with me since early childhood. Today, it returns at a much-needed time as a reminder of what Palestinians will never lose: hope, defiance, beauty and dignity.”
All proceeds from the release will go to Choose Love’s Together For Palestine Fund, which supports the Palestinian-led organisations Taawon, Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and Palestine Medical Relief Service.
The single follows the Palestine benefit gig Together For Palestine, which was co-organised by Eno and took place at London’s Wembley Arena this past September.
T4P will release ‘Lullaby’ on December 12, 2025.
