Brandi Carlile has teamed up with Sam Smith to record a new version of “Party Of One” as a charity single. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Children in Conflict via Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation as part of its ongoing campaign to raise one million dollars for children impacted by war.
The pair recorded the new version of the tune from By The Way, I Forgive You at Los Angeles’ Capitol Studio with producer Dave Cobb. “I’m beyond proud to have collaborated with the incredible Sam Smith. There is no one quite like him and I’ve never heard a voice like his before,” shared Carlile. “We came to know one another through our work as ambassadors for Children in Conflict, so it felt only right to use our platforms and music as a tool to spotlight the work they are doing to help children affected by war. We hope the vulnerability of this song reflects the fragility of their situation and compels people to support our cause.” Watch video for Carlile and Smith’s new take on “Party Of One” below:
