Album: Colin Blunstone, The Ghost of You and Me, (Ennismore)
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.If we must have mainstream pop about mature romance, then we should ask that it always be sung by Colin Blunstone. The Zombies' frontman's pipes are a miracle of softness and tensile strength.
And that is where the comparisons with toilet paper should end. Better, we should admire its clarity, sweetness and its capacity for spreading itself on baroque strings like butter. The best songs here are decent, the worst clammy, but all of them just that fraction too ingratiating to ring true except as pillow talk.
Pick of the album: 'Beginning': nice strings and no searing guitars
