The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's almost like you are near
It's a silent love! Shh
Silent love! Shh!
Silent love! No, seriously, shh!
Talkin' 'bout silent love!
Stop singing!
All the ladies in the house now! Silent love!
Gene! I did a "fellas in the house"! I can't do the ladies and not do the fellas!
Just be quiet!
Let me sing!
No! It's not a duet!
Silent love, it's a sillent
You are so annoying!
The lyrics of the song Love Love Love by Various Artists explore the concept of a silent love. The opening lines “When I close my eyes, then I cover my ears, it's almost like you are near” suggests that the singer is attempting to conjure up the presence of their beloved. The repetition of the phrases “Silent love! Shh!” indicates that the singer is attempting to portray their love as a secret affair, one that cannot be put into words but can only be felt in silence. The chorus is a playful and mocking commentary on the idea of a “silent love” as the singers argue about whether to sing or not, ultimately breaking the silence in the process.
The idea of a silent love is further developed in the second verse as the singers declare, “Talkin' 'bout silent love! / Stop singing! / All the ladies in the house now! Silent love!” Here, the emphasis is on the idea of keeping their love a secret, perhaps suggesting societal pressures or constraints on expressing love freely. The reference to “fellas in the house” highlights the gendered aspect of societal expectations in matters of love and relationships. The final lines “Silent love, it's a sillent / You are so annoying!” seem to undermine the idea of silent love previously established, suggesting that the singers are unable to keep their love quiet for long due to their annoyance with each other.
Overall, Love Love Love is an intriguing exploration of the concept of silent love, using playful banter and argument to challenge traditional ideas around gender, societal expectations, and the expression of love itself.

I am! This is one of the best songs in my time. Better believe that I've been around for decades, from Central Aftica , loving R&B. 😂
So I discovered this guy in 2000 while living in Atlanta through his first album (I think!). Instant fun! His voice, his R&B style, is mesmerizing!
