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.
An album devoted to the examination of the bits left when hearts get broken.
American music's sweetest heart ought to be good at this. Her strength as a singer comes not from the power of her voice but the detail of her phrasing; and the detail revealed in Danger Mouse's production is extensive. This is haiku-pop: small, rigid, defined by form. Which would be fine if the songs were compelling. But they're not really. It's exquisite, of course, but dull.
