Compilation album "In The Name Of Love: Artists United For Africa" is released today (27th January) by Sparrow Records. The CD features 13 Christian artists singing covers of popular U2 songs. Delirious? appear on the album with their cover of U2's 'Pride'. Other artists featured on the album include Audio Adrenaline, Jars of Clay, Sixpence None the Richer and tobyMac.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of 'In The Name Of Love' will be donated to the World Vision charity to support the Mwakankomba village in Zambia, which has been devastated by HIV/AIDS. Sparrow Records have already helped to raise $50,000 for the cause, and say that the money will be used for "community development aid focused on improving basic long-term health needs. This includes providing caregivers who will work with the infected, those at risk of infection and those left behind when loved ones die".

"Most importantly, AIDS prevention education for children and mentoring for orphans will be provided to encourage them to stay in school, learn how to survive and thrive as adults". Additional proceeds from the album will also go to an AIDS medical center in Cape Town, South Africa. The CD can be purchased now from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk as well as most Christian retail outlets.
