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.Whether it's the involvement of Coldplay's Guy Berryman in the production, or simply their shift to a major label, on You & I The Pierces have lost much of what made 2007's Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge so beguiling.
At times, it's hard to believe it's the same sisters: gone are the eccentric alt- folk arrangements, and along with them the sly wit and quirky character that sparked their songs, replaced by bland, uninvolving testaments to faith ("Glorious") and moderation ("Drag You Down"), set to dismayingly unchallenging, sanitised country-pop backings. Their harmonies are as bright as ever, but even when exercising the full power of their collective charm on tracks like "You'll Be Mine" and "Love You More", there's an enervating lack of compulsion about the album that saps the spirit.
