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.Naked Music NYC "What's On Your Mind" (OM Records) Producer Jay Denes and vocalists Ada Dyer and Catherine Russell come with a good form book, yet despite some twists this slumps into just another bland record like most of the R&B from across the Atlantic. HH
Chris Coco "Sun Set" (Other Records) Coco is Chris Mellor, editor of the dance magazine DJ, but this wistful album is ambient in nature. A soundtrack to his travels in Greece it comprises generous amounts of piano, strings and inevitable noises that come out of boxes to depict a varied, relaxed and global feel. HHH
Mucho Macho "The Limehouse Link" (Wiija) This Romford duo weigh in with fresh partied-up breakbeats fused with lots of other dancefloor styles and experimentation to produce a danceable sound that looks like it will achieve more longevity than most of the Big Beat bandwagon. HHHH
Various Artists "Tribute to Tradition" (Epic) Wherein Nashville's new stars cover their favourite country song. However even Randy Travis finds it impossible to improve on "Mama Tried" and while decent, there's nothing in the world that Joe Diffie could ever hope to give to "Behind Closed Doors". Dixie Chicks and others also suffer. HH
