The title track of Ringo Starr's new country album is a catchy instant classic.
Ringo Starr this month released his latest studio album Look Up, grabbing plenty of great reviews for his 21st solo record.
The ex-Beatle celebrated the launch of the album with a new music video for its title track, which features Molly Tuttle.
The video features plenty of peace and love, with people young and old not only giving heart and peace signs, but joining forces at the end to make a massive human peace sign.
Look Up is Ringo's first studio album in six years and follows a number of EPs.
The follow-up to 2019's What's My Name, the album was made in collaboration with country legend T Bone Burnett.

"I've always loved country music. And when I asked T Bone to write me a song, I didn’t even think at the time that it would be a country song – but of course it was, and it was so beautiful," Ringo said.
"I had been making EPs at the time and so I thought we would do a country EP - but when he brought me nine songs I knew we had to make an album! And I am so glad we did.
"I want to thank, and send Peace & Love, to T Bone and all the great musicians who helped make this record. It was a joy making it and I hope it is a joy to listen to."
