"her music is just as lively and relevant as ever" - BrooklynVegan

"Mavis Staples is one of America's defining voices of freedom and peace." - NPR

"'Change' feels like an all-too necessary, toe-tapping anthem for the United States in 2019." - Paste

"It’s arguably her finest, most moving and cohesive disc which, considering her extensive catalog, is saying plenty." - American Songwriter (4.5/5)

Mavis Staples returns with a brand new studio album produced and written by Ben Harper. Backed by Mavis’ critically acclaimed live band, We Get By features 10 songs of longing, strength, and spirituality, presented with simplicity, grit and sublime beauty. Highlights include the buoyant, “Anytime”, the cathartic, “Change”, and the title track, an uplifting duet with Ben Harper.

"Mavis Staples turns 80 this summer. She's a respected elder of soul and gospel music, a beloved collaborator with rock musicians, and a living embodiment of gospel music's place in the civil rights movement. But she's no static symbol of the past." - NPR: First Listen
