Background
[edit]In March 2015 Passenger announced details of his sixth studio album, confirming the UK release date as 20 April 2015. He also announced that all profits from the album will go towards UNICEF UK’s initiative in Liberia. Talking about working with UNICEF, he said, "It's so exciting to be able to work with Unicef on such an important campaign. Money raised from these sales will go directly towards food and supplements to help bring severely malnourished kids back to health, facility upgrades and maintenance, education and training for health workers in the region."[3][4]
