Irish charity single ‘Boob Spelled Backwards Is Boob’ which is raising money for breast cancer has managed to pick up quite the plethora of artists; Florence Welch is the most recent to have been confirmed to contribute vocals for the song.
The song was created by Irish DJ Greg McQuaid, who is currently based in LA working for KFOG Radio. The song will be released in a few short days on the 1st October.
The song was written by eight year old Archer Nelson, unfortunately whose mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and her father worked with McQuaid at KFOG thus this song has come to fruition.
McQuaid has certainly done well in attracting a wide range of vocalists and musicians to contribute to the single; with Florence Welch, Noel Gallagher, Hozier, the Grateful Dead and Vance Joy amongst others all contributing a part. McQuaid had this to say on them managing to get Hozier:
“Getting Hozier was really huge. When you have one of the biggest artists on the planet involved, convincing others to contribute becomes a lot easier,” McQuaid told the Herald.
“We recorded his part back in April. He didn’t have time to come by the radio station so we recorded him at the Masonic where he was playing three sold-out shows.
“It was cute because his tour manager and road crew were all walking around backstage singing the chorus as we were trying to record it.”
All the money from the song will be going to Breast Cancer Research Foundation, further detail can be found here.
