    "comment": "#70 on our countdown of YOUR favorite albums of 2025\n\n\"The fourteenth solo album from iconic singer and activist Mavis Staples further cements her status as a living legend. Centered on her powerful, singular voice, ‘Sad And Beautiful World’ is a community effort built around mostly reimagined songs by Frank Ocean, Sparklehorse, Kevin Morby, Gillian Welch, Tom Waits, and others, along with a new original song co-written by Allison Russell and Hozier. With ornate arrangements, a cast of talented players and guests including Jeff Tweedy, Justin Vernon, Bonnie Raitt, and Katie Crutchfield, and production from Brad Cook, this collection is an earnest plea for peace, joy, and unity in a fractured world, delivered through ten heartfelt songs that blend soul, gospel, and folk as Staples’ rich, gravelly, and expressive vocals cut straight to the bone.\" \n\nhttps://kexp.org/read/2025/11/10/new-music-reviews-1110/\n\nhttps://mavisstaples.bandcamp.com/",
