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.The problem with having a languid style is that it's easily taken for sheer laziness, especially when the results lack a certain spark.
Macy Gray may have laboured diligently over these cover versions, but what comes across most is nonchalant disinterest, as she moans over sepulchral organ on "Creep" and staggers alienated through "Here Comes the Rain Again". The best track here is Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" treated as a lilting electric piano waltz. But overall: must try harder. Or appear to.
