University of Winchester releases original climate change album

1st August 2016

'This changes everything' is a conceptual album of original music on climate change, released by Splendid Fred, The University of Winchester’s own record label. To reinforce the University of Winchester’s ongoing dedication to creating a dialogue about climate change, all proceeds from album sales will go to the charity Winchester Action on Climate Change (WinACC).

With lyrics from the perspective of people who deny that climate change is happening as well as people who are already addressing the problems head-on, the album presents information, facts and a range of opinions about this global issue.

One of the album’s composers and performers Django Black said:

'The record draws awareness to the dangers of allowing climate change to go unchecked. Although the charity may be local, climate change is a global concern and every one of us is held accountable for how we treat the planet.'

This changes everything was released on 17 June 2016 via Splendid Fred Records and is be available to download on i-Tunes at £3.99 for the whole album, or 59p per individual track.
