Disclosure Deny Involvement In “Do They Know It’s Christmas? (2014)”
Disclosure was among the many names credited on Band Aid 30’s all-star charity single “Do They Know It’s Christmas? (2014),” but a representative of the duo has denied their involvement in the recording or any pending remixes. “No planned remix or involvement of any kind unfortunately,” the representative told Pitchfork. The confusion regarding Disclosure is not the only odd thing about the Band Aid 30 lineup; for instance, Seal appears in the video and in the group photo above but isn’t mentioned in the credits. It all came together so fast, so it’s not entirely surprising to see a number of mixups. In the meantime, you can pre-order the single here and make a donation here; proceeds go to fight the spread of Ebola and care for its victims.
UPDATE: Likewise, although he was listed on the official site, British-Ghanaian rapper Fuse ODG ultimately declined because he did not completely agree with the song’s message. Robert Plant was also reported to be involved, but his publicist confirms to Stereogum that he did not participate.
