Details have been revealed regarding the up-coming War Child album release.

Some of music’s greatest names have selected one of their own tracks, to be performed by a current or future star.

The compilation, released on February 16, will raise money for War Child's work to protect the most marginalised children in war zones, who would otherwise be overlooked: street children, child soldiers and children in prison.

The tracklist in full:

1. Beck (Bob Dylan) ‘Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat’
2. Scissor Sisters (Roxy Music) ‘Do The Strand’
3. Lily Allen (The Clash) ‘Straight To Hell’
4. Duffy (Paul McCartney) ‘Live And Let Die’
5. Elbow (U2) ‘Running To Stand Still’
6. TV On The Radio (David Bowie) ‘Heroes’
7. Hot Chip (Joy Division) ‘Transmission’
8. The Kooks (The Kinks) ‘Victoria’
9. Estelle (Stevie Wonder) ‘Superstition’
10. Rufus Wainwright (Brian Wilson) ‘Wonderful/ Song For Children’
11. Peaches (Iggy Pop) ‘Search And Destroy’
12. The Hold Steady (Bruce Springsteen) ‘Atlantic City’
13. The Like (Elvis Costello) ‘You Belong To Me’
14. Yeah Yeah Yeahs (The Ramones) ‘Sheena Is A Punk Rocker’
15. Franz Ferdinand (Blondie) ‘Call Me’

Sir Paul McCartney said of the project: "I have been supporting War Child since 1995. Their work with children in war zones saves lives and their work with those who take decisions that help them to do something about it saves even more lives. The breadth of talent on this project is amazing; it's great that so many people gave their time, energy and support to this initiative. I urge everyone to support War Child."

Guy Garvey of Elbow commented: “War Child do exactly what it says on the tin. These kids shouldn't be in such circumstances in the first place, but they are, so thank god someone's doing something about it.”

EMI has made a substantial upfront payment to War Child, and will release the album on its Parlophone label, who are donating all their profits from the project to War Child.
