Arcade Fire Return With New Song “I Give You Power” Ft. Mavis Staples: Listen

Arcade Fire have shared a new song featuring Mavis Staples. It’s called “I Give You Power,” and all proceeds from it will go to the American Civil Liberties Union. “It's never been more important that we stick together & take care of each other,” the artists said in a tweet. Listen to “I Give You Power” below, and scroll down to watch them perform it at a May 2016 performance outside the Louvre. The band’s last album, Reflektor, arrived in 2013; it is unclear if this song will appear on an upcoming release.

Arcade Fire will perform at a number of festivals this year, including Primavera and Isle of Wight. They’ve been at work on their next album, which Will Butler said could arrive this spring. During their performance at Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in October 2016, the band recorded the crowd noise, with plans possibly to sample it for the record. To coincide with the new track’s release, the band updated their  Facebook profile photo and Twitter avatar with the same image; see it below.
