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.For her third album, K T Tunstall has tried to combine her folksy, singer-songwriter stylings with dance-conscious beats and electronic textures.
Save for the occasional distorted noise loop, sequenced vocal percussion or background ambient shimmer, the results aren't actually that distant from her usual approach, with chunky rhythm-guitar grooves driving songs like "Glamour Puss" and "Push That Knot Away". The latter, perhaps, refers to the aesthetic crisis she suffered in Greenland, covered in "Uummannaq Song", the native chanting element of which recalls early Sinead O'Connor. Lyrically, the best track is the single "(Still a) Weirdo", in which KT outlines her modus operandum: "Pay no lip service, keep it eloquent/ Optimistic but still quite elegant/ Still a weirdo after all these years".
