Stone was in London over the new-year period watching the bushfire emergency unfold. Her mother was evacuated from Lake Conjola on the NSW South Coast.

In response, she recorded a version of Midnight Oil's 'Beds Are Burning' and worked with a range of collaborators to create a video for the song.

She then decided to contact international artists to see if they would be interested in recording a song for a compilation.

"Most of these artists have toured here, have family here, friends here, have lived here or spent time here," Stone said in a statement.

"Everyone has such great memories of this country and to see it in flames was breaking everyone’s hearts."

Songs for Australia is streaming from March 6. The record is available for pre-order from www.songsforaustralia.com with vinyl and CD releases in June.
