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.Before his contributions to Dr Dre’s Compton brought him wider recognition, multi-talented Afro-Korean Anderson .Paak pursued a varied and intriguing career, including an attempt to reverse the old tradition of white artists covering black originators, by treating songs by Neil Young, The Beatles and White Stripes as jazz-funk.
This album, however, positions him as a neo-R&B singer in the vein of The Weeknd, Miguel and Frank Ocean, oozing seductively over glitchy beats and keyboard washes.
“Milk And Honey” opens proceedings with a puttering electro beat, simple synth figure and urgent but laidback rap about his women problems, establishing the warm, fuzzy vibe that sustains through the album, with standout cuts including the heavily Auto-Tuned “Drugs”, a tragic tale of somatic sexuality, and the closing “Off The Ground”, a sublime electropop groove.
