Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.While this eight-track mini-album contains several tracks on which Keane's anthemic old style lumbers through its motions there are some interesting new directions which suggest a creative restlessness on songwriter/producer Tim Rice-Oxley's part.
The tracks featuring the "dusty-foot philosopher" K'naan herald a positive new route for the band, the Somali-Canadian rapper's commentaries lending a fresh impetus to Keane's customary reflective attitude on "Stop For A Minute" and "Looking Back". Elsewhere, Japanese MC Tigarah contributes vocals to the pop-funk synth groove of "Ishin Denshin (You've Got To Help Yourself)", while a similar desire to "see the world as selfishly as you do" underpins "Clear Skies", whose syncopated-clapping, acoustic guitar and vibes motif offers new avenue for exploration.
