Stevie Nicks and Dave Stewart have collaborated on a new song in support of Ukraine and their ongoing efforts fighting invading forces from Russia.

The track is titled "Face to Face" and features Russian musician Boris Grebenshchikov and Ukrainian musician Serhii Babkin. It's available for streaming and download here.

Nicks said in a statement about the song, "Since the day the war began, I have carried Ukraine and its people in my heart. I am so honored to sing on this song written by my friend @davestewarteurythmics@bgrebenshikov and @babkin_official. I hope it reminds people to continue to support Ukraine. I remind people during my shows to remember—this war is not over..."

Stewart said in his own statement, "I wanted to write a gentle, peaceful song after seeing all the horrible images coming out of Ukraine. The song is about how all war is horrific and it's written from the perspective of a young 18-year-old having to march off to war, not really understanding what he's getting into."

In the process of writing and recording "Face to Face," Stewart has helped launch Collaborate For Peace, an initiative to help bring awareness to groups providing aid and relief to the people of Ukraine.

Stevie Nicks is the first woman (and thankfully, not the last) woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: as a member of Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. As her solo debut, Bella Donna, turns 40 we looked back on her entire career to rank her 50 best songs (40 would have made sense, but it was too hard to cut it off there). We included solo and Fleetwood Mac songs, as well as her pre-Mac band Buckingham/Nicks and a few of her other collaborations.

Of course, we're ready to update this list when she releases new music! But for now, here's our favorite 50.

Erica Banas is a news blogger who's been covering the rock/classic rock world since 2014. The coolest event she's ever covered in person was the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. (Sir Paul McCartney inducting Foo Fighters? C'mon now!) She's also well-versed in etiquette and extraordinarily nice. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
