Legendary Grammy Award winning vocalist, activist, and philanthropist, Dionne Warwick, has a new song, “Free,” in support of Musicians in the Key of Free, an initiative that works to support refugees across the world. The song was written by songwriter, Diane Warren, and produced by Warwick’s son, Grammy Award winner, Damon Elliott.

The song was recently performed by Warwick in New York City at the Fashion 4 Development 2nd Annual Sustainable Goals Banquet — a global platform that works to support the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. “Never has there been a stronger need to implement environmental, social, and governance solutions on a global scale to ignite positive change both for ourselves and for future generations to come,” says Evie Evangelou, president and founder of Fashion 4 Development. “It is my hope that by uniting humanity through creative synergy and the strong spirit of the arts that we can chart a path forward to collective healing and resilience.”

Musicians in the Key of Free was unveiled this year under the umbrella of Fashion 4 Development as a collective of artists from all nations to support the international refugee crisis. The initiative was created by Warren amongst musician Mick Fleetwood and entertainment attorney Michael Shapiro. 

Throughout the end of this year and early 2023, Warren’s song “Free” will be recorded by top international artists in their own native languages, which will amass a compilation album in support of the refugee crisis. All proceeds of the album will be utilized to raise funds for displaced populations around the world.
