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.No surprises in this follow-up to the excellent Naturally, just more of the same: impeccably authentic-sounding Southern-tinged soul, with the Dap-Kings rhythm and horn sections tight as you like, and Augusta-born Shazza's throaty, sassy vocals riding over the top as if she were soul's own Queen of Sheba. If anything, the funk's heavier than before and there's a Bisto-thickness to the sound, with more than a touch of Allen Toussaint's New Orleans productions. The busy band may be marking time and the short length makes for poor value, but this is still real soul from the source.
