Creator Universe release 'Break the Night' in aid of Samaritans to celebrate Loneliness Awareness Week
Creator Universe, the UK’s first “music for good” supergroup of social media stars has come together to support Samaritans through the release of their original song, 'Break the Night'.
The timing of the release coincides with Loneliness Awareness Week. Over 4 million people in the UK report feeling lonely always or often, while half of us feel lonely at least sometimes.
The project aims to spread joy, foster community and remind people that they’re never alone, while raising funds and awareness for the Samaritan’s free, non-judgemental telephone helpline. It’s a service made possible by 23,000 trained volunteers who answer a call every 10 seconds.
Ant Llewellyn-Harris, founder and Chief Creative Officer at creator label We Create Popular says, “Being a content creator can be a surprisingly lonely career. Break The Night is a powerful pop anthem that creates connection through fun, music and dance. We’re bringing thousands of fans together as part of the project and have already experienced new friendships and connections being made."
Shining a light on the incredible service Samaritans provide is a privilege. Loneliness knows no age or borders. Everyone goes through difficult times, but together, we light up the dark.
