Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
After 15 albums with Incognito, main-man Jean-Paul Maunick (aka Bluey) makes a belated solo debut.
He also sings lead, displaying a nicely underplayed Londoner's voice on 10 personal-sounding songs whose slightly rockier feel is closer to Lewis Taylor than Omar, though both come to mind. The best songs – "Got to Let My Feelings Show", "Take a Chance on Me", "Sky" – are very good, but bland lyrics grate. The closing title track references Martin Luther King.
