The Word On - Ian Brown, My Way
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."There's an easy mastery of things previously introduced. The string beds, the mariachi horns, the deep mystical groove, they're all elements which have appeared in isolation on separate outings, but here are brought together in spectacular fashion." - musicomh.com
"'My Way' is Brown's finest since 1998's solo bow, 'Unfinished Monkey Business' ... this is Brown at his uplifting, groovesome best. And when he sings there are 'miles and miles still left to come' on 'Marathon Man', it's actually quite reassuring." - Chris Parkin, bbc.co.uk/music
"Surprisingly engaging... highlights Brown as an underrated songwriter and arranger... While his enthusiasm for creativity is as infectious as ever, Spike Island [Stone Roses gig] and its ilk are unlikely to be revisited in the forseeable future." - Dom Gourlay, drownedinsound.com
"Once again his music is evolving. Much of the album distances itself from Brown's previously darker guitar work and relies mainly on processed beats and chirping keyboards. Surprisingly, much of the production leans toward hip-hop." - addictmusic.co.uk
