This is an interesting project you should check out.
Artists interacting with fans and supporting charities/causes at the same time.

Steven from EinsteinBarbie very kindly sent me a copy of a limited E.P. they have released while we all wait for the full album to be finished off.
REALLY looking forward to that…
Five fantastic tracks on the E.P. all in true EB stylee. You can check out the tracks over on the website.
While you are over at EinsteinBarbie world subscribe to their newsletter for a chance to get hold of one. (My lovely package even had a pink Barbie shoe in it, how cute is that!)
Thank you Steven, above-and-beyond looking after your fans I would say.

Alison Goldfrapp was on Radio 4 Saturday 17th April choosing her inheritance tracks. One she inherited and one she would pass on. She choose to pass on the track ‘Expecting’ from the 1970 debut album from Minnie. And what a belter it is to. Not surprising with a five octave range.
You probably will be familiar with the opening track to this album ‘Les Fleur’ that 4Hero covered on their album ‘Creating Patterns’.
She sadly died of cancer in 1979. What a lose.
I couldn’t find a version of this track online so I played with a few programs on my Mac to give you this.

Natalie has just released a double CD that goes all over the place stylistically.
Some quite full on trad folk tracks, but others toy with sounds from all over the world.
Loads of videos to do with new album over on her website.
