'It's dark in the US right now. But I turn on a light, you know?': Mavis Staples on Prince, Martin Luther King and her 75-year singing career

๐ŸŒŸ Mavis Staples is literally a ray of sunshine ๐ŸŒž in a world that's been going on for too long without enough hope. I love how her new album "Sad and Beautiful World" isn't just about acknowledging the struggles we're facing, but also about finding ways to rise above them and spread love and positivity. Her music has always done that for me - it's like she's saying 'we got this' ๐Ÿค even when things seem darkest. And honestly, her story is so inspiring... 75 years of fighting for justice and equality? That's dedication ๐Ÿ’ช! Can't wait to give her new album a listen ๐ŸŽต
 
I'm totally feeling Mavis Staples' vibe on this new album ๐ŸŽถ! It's like, she's singing straight from the heart, you know? The way she talks about love and social justice is so real, it's like we're all in this together ๐Ÿ˜Š. And I gotta say, her story is super inspiring - 75 years of doing what she loves, working with legends... it's no wonder she's a legend herself ๐Ÿ™Œ. Her music always feels like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day โ˜๏ธ, and that's exactly what we need right now ๐Ÿ’›. Can't wait to dive into her album and see what other messages of hope and love she's got for us ๐Ÿ’–!

Mavis Staples' new album is defo a reflection of our world right now ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ’”. The song titles alone are giving me all the feels - "love", "war", "fighting"... it's like she's speaking straight to my soul ๐Ÿค—. And her optimism? It's infectious! I love how she stays hopeful even when things seem darkest ๐Ÿ’ซ. I've been listening to a lot of her old stuff lately and it just makes me want to keep pushing forward for justice & equality ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ช. Can't wait to dive into this new album ๐ŸŽถ
 
come on ๐Ÿ™„, 75 yrs in the game and still singing about the same stuff? it's like she's stuck in some kinda soul music loop ๐Ÿ’ญ, "sad and beautiful world" sounds like a bunch of clichรฉs to me ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ, i mean what's next? an album called "hopeless and desperate world"? ๐Ÿ˜’
 
The fact that Mavis Staples is still making music after all these years is truly inspiring ๐Ÿคฉ! She's like the embodiment of resilience and hope. I mean, 75+ years into her career and she's still producing albums that address social injustices and fighting for equality? That takes a lot of guts and conviction ๐Ÿ’ช. What I love about her music is that it's not just about complaining about the state of the world, but also about finding ways to make a difference through art ๐ŸŽถ. And can we talk about Prince for a sec? ๐Ÿ˜ The fact that he helped Mavis produce her first album in the 80s is amazing! She has so many cool stories from back in the day...
