Stevie Nicks and Dave Stewart have collaborated on a new song in support of Ukraine and their ongoing efforts fighting invading forces from Russia.
The track is titled “Face to Face” and features Russian musician Boris Grebenshchikov and Ukrainian musician Serhii Babkin. It’s available for streaming and download here.
Nicks said in a statement about the song, “Since the day the war began, I have carried Ukraine and its people in my heart. I am so honored to sing on this song written by my friend @davestewarteurythmics, @bgrebenshikov and @babkin_official. I hope it reminds people to continue to support Ukraine. I remind people during my shows to remember—this war is not over…”
Stewart said in his own statement, “I wanted to write a gentle, peaceful song after seeing all the horrible images coming out of Ukraine. The song is about how all war is horrific and it’s written from the perspective of a young 18-year-old having to march off to war, not really understanding what he’s getting into.”
In the process of writing and recording “Face to Face,” Stewart has helped launch Collaborate For Peace, an initiative to help bring awareness to groups providing aid and relief to the people of Ukraine.
