World Party was a British musical group founded in 1986 by Karl Wallinger, a former member of the Waterboys. Though often perceived as a band, World Party was primarily Wallinger’s solo project, with him writing, producing, and performing most of the music. The group’s sound blended pop, rock, and socially conscious lyrics, producing memorable hits like "Ship of Fools," "Way Down Now," "Put the Message in the Box," and "Is It Like Today?". World Party also originally recorded "She's the One," later popularized by Robbie Williams. Over the years, Wallinger was joined by notable musicians including Guy Chambers, Chris Sharrock, and Amanda Kramer, leaving a lasting mark on the alternative rock scene of the late 1980s and 1990s. Karl Wallinger passed away in 2024.
