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.The Child Of Lov is Cole Williams, a reclusive bedroom soundscaper flushed into the open courtesy of this debut album, which marries disjointed beats with hoarse, high soul vocals.
The results resemble what D'Angelo might sound like assailed by the cluttered loop constructs of Animal Collective: occasionally misshapen, and emotionally fraught, but acquiring a more sleekly sculpted grace on several tracks. “Fly” blends itchy funk with multi-tracked vocals in wailing gospel mode, and the rolling momentum of “Go with the Wind” is rudely slashed by a burst of serrated guitar. Elsewhere, the deep, burring organ of “Warrior” peels away at the song's end to reveal Williams's stacked vocal overdubs. Oddly appealing overall, when not tending too much toward the twisted.
