New sonic impulses…

3 April 2020

The 80-year-old legendary soul voice MAVIS STAPLES teamed up with WILCO‘s
frontman JEFF TWEEDY for a brand new song called ALL IN IT TOGETHER, as a
fundraiser for My Block, My Hood, My City, a Chicago nonprofit organisation
that helps seniors dealing with the coronavirus.

In a statement Staples speaks about the goal of the new track…

“The song speaks to what we’re going through now — everyone is in this together, whether
you like it or not. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, what race or sex you are, where you live… It can still touch you. It’s hit so many people in our country and around the world in such a horrible way, and I just hope this song can bring a little light to the darkness. We will get through this, but we’re going to have to do it together. If this song is able to bring any happiness or relief to anyone out there in even the smallest way, I wanted to make sure that I helped to do that.”

Here’s the emotive musing…
