Marc Almond is helping raise funds for the Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. 

The soft cell star has made his English-language recording of What a Moonlit Night available on his official website for a “small donation”, which will support the fund.

In an announcement on social media, he penned: “I adapted an English translation and hope It will be approved by Ukrainians. 

“If any Ukrainian can get a phonetic version to me I can try and do a Ukrainian version down the line. Myself and my Musicians want to send all our love and thoughts to brave Ukrainian people.”

Marc added: “Go to my website www.marcalmond.co.uk to get the song and for more info. Thank you all so much. I hope you like the song.”

Soft Cell will release their fifth album ‘*Happiness Not Included‘, featuring 10 new tracks, in May. According to Marc’s bandmate Dave Ball, the LP “reflects the dreadful government we have at the moment and the levels of hypocrisy and incompetence”.

Marc adds: “In this album, I wanted to look at us as a society, a place where we have chosen to put profits before people, money before morality and decency, food before the rights of animals, fanaticism before fairness and our own trivial comforts before the unspeakable agonies of others.”

“I think it’s very much reflective of what’s going on in the world,” Dave continues. “The fact we had someone like [Donald] Trump in power. We’re not in a very good place globally. 

“Whatever your political beliefs are, the state [of the world] isn’t too good. And obviously, with all the global warming and all that sort of stuff going on, it’s not fantastically happy times.”

‘*Happiness Not Included’ is available to pre-order on CD, vinyl and cassette.
