The Word On... Lily Allen, the new album
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."It's probably not as good as 'Alright, Still' but it's still a damn fine album, and nothing resembling the train wreck you'd have expected if you were following her very public meltdown over the past two years. Match that, Winehouse." - Al Byrne, zmemusic.com
"From the first punch of synths in 'Everyone's at It' to the last optigan loop of 'He Wasn't There,' it's pretty clear the young pop star has hit another musical home run. While not every song is a five-star winner, the vast majority are." - Alan Wiley, chordstrike.com
"Sticking with 'It's Not Me, It's You' and penetrating its jarringly slick-meets-GarageBand-amateur exterior is wholly advisable. Not perfect, but it cements Allen's status as an adept chronicler of daily existence." - James Skinner, drownedinsound.com
"Ultimately, 'It's Not Me, It's You' is a far from perfect record, although it has perfect moments. The result is a pop record that is at turns enchanting, inspiring, frustrating and confusing. What it is never, though, is dull." - Phil Udell, state.ie
