The Word On Pop... Dan Black, Un
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."Black has yet to score a chart hit, which is a shame given the flashes of genuine talent on show. It's these flashes, however, that highlight the shortcomings of some of the other tracks, leaving plenty of room for improvement for that difficult second album." - musicomh.com
"Dan Black has made a smart, confident record that is far more accessible than this overtly cool customer's first album. It should even see him gain some mainstream popularity. "Deux" should be worth waiting for." - Lou Thomas, bbc.co.uk/music
"The very nicest kind of geeky pop... Not the strongest voice to be honest ( a little nasal; a tad whiny at times ) but he is mostly able to transform his limitations into advantages with the wry wit evidenced in his perky writing and idiosyncratic sense of timing." - amazon.co.uk
"Those looking for true one-man-and-his-synth enlightenment could do worse than take in the shoe-gazing psychedelia of James Chapman (aka Maps), but for Dan Black I'm afraid it's almost certainly back to the drawing board." - Andy Peterson, contactmusic.com
