André 3000 and Others Donate Unreleased Music for A Compilation Album to Aid LA Wildfire Victims

Featuring 98 tracks of unreleased music

André 3000, Julia Holter and more have contributed music to a new compilation album to aid victims of the Los Angeles (LA) wildfires. The compilation will be released by Leaving Records and will feature 98 tracks of previously unreleased music by contributing artists.

Titled Staying: Leaving Records Aid to Artists Impacted by the Los Angeles Wildfires, the album has a total runtime of 6 hours and 51 minutes. It includes contributions from the likes of André 3000, Julia Holter, Reggie Watts, Laraaji, Baths & Rachika Nayar and more. Most of the tracks that feature in the compilation are unreleased songs. The compilation closes out with André 3000’s nearly nine-minute song “This Is Where My Room Used To Be.” featuring Carlos Niño, Alex Cline and Pablo Calogero.

In a statement on the official Leaving Records Bandcamp page, the label’s Emmett Shoemaker wrote that 50% of the money raised from the purchase of the album will be “meticulously, manually allocated to Los Angeles artists and music colleagues in need”, while the remaining 50% “will be allocated to displaced Black families and community impacted by the fires, again, as equitably as possible.”

The album is not available on streaming platforms, and is only available for purchase on Bandcamp in digital, vinyl and cassette formats – to purchase, check it out here.
