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.

"I'm Dat Chick" opens the album with Kelly's well-meant assertions of her fly-ness, but even by the third track – ironically titled "Motivation" – interest is already flagging in the amorphous assemblages of vocal and musical cliches that comprise the bulk of the album. David Guetta applies his house lock-step to a couple of tracks, one of which ("Comman-der") finds Rowland in the position of impersonating an autotune monotone. The elegant piano motif to "Feelin' Me Right Now" lends a sophistication absent elsewhere, but the lack of inspiration here is nowhere better conveyed than on "Down for Whatever".
