Mavis Staples – Worthy

Mavis Staples is back with “Worthy,” a Prince-inspired track that pulsates with vibrant energy and powerful messages. As she approaches her 85th birthday, Staples proves that age is just a number. Known for her indelible impact on gospel, Americana, and R&B, she brings a rich tapestry of influences to this new release.

“Worthy” is crafted by MNDR, a protégé of Mark Ronson, and the result of an all-women production team. The song embodies a celebration, capturing Staples’ fiery spirit and infectious energy. With its sassy and dance-worthy vibe, “Worthy” is a perfect pick-me-up anthem. Staples describes it best: “Certain songs just cover you, and this song is just so sassy and fire. It’s got me fired up.”

Her voice, which once fueled the Civil Rights Movement, continues to resonate with urgency and joy, making “Worthy” both a call to action and a reminder to celebrate life through music.
