The Mavs release "Look Around You" video

The song is on their new disc, "Moon & Stars."

The Mavericks are currently on a nationwide tour in support of the new album, with stops in Denver, Dallas and Detroit including two nights at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. The band is in Los Angeles tonight, where they will take the stage at The Greek Theatre with Dwight Yoakam.

Lead singer Raul Malo said, "This song was inspired by many events in a tumultuous period in our country - the shooting in Uvalde; the civil unrest during Black Lives Matter; George Floyd and other events and moments that clearly show the inequity in our society. Solving those issues is complicated, undoubtedly. But the solution begins with us, the people. We can be better. And we can do better. And that's what this song is about."

Rose said, "The Mavericks have always made music with the power to bring people together, and they did just that with this song and album in a time when we need it most. Being asked to join them on 'Look Around You,' and my experience recording with them that day, felt like a celebration - encouraging and joyful. I knew we were laying down something magical on this song with its beautiful message and sound."

Co-produced with longtime collaborator Niko Bolas, "Moon & Stars" features co-writes with songwriter Bernie Taupin and special guest performances including Sierra Ferrell ("Moon & Stars") and Nicole Atkins, who recently joined The Mavericks on stage at ACL Live to play their song "Live Close By (Visit Often)."

The group's 13th studio album marks their first new music since 2020's "En Espanol project," and their first return to a full English language release since 2017's "Brand New Day."
