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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

He has not yet announced if he will cancel, postpone or proceed with the scheduled concert. <\/p>\n
His new album, featuring 15 songs, dropped Friday. However, its lead single, \u201cDie For Me,\u201d was released back in February, only two days after the album was announced. <\/p>\n
The \u201cPillowtalk\u201d singer celebrated his new album and reflected on his achievements so far during a February appearance on Alex Cooper\u2019s Call Her Daddy <\/em>podcast. <\/p>\n\u201cFive solo albums now \u2014 I was just buzzing that I got to do the first one after [leaving] the band, [and] people seemed to care,\u201d he said, referring to his career after exiting One Direction in 2015. \u201cI\u2019m really proud of the progression and just the development and understanding of myself through my music.\u201d<\/p>\n
During an interview with Elle India<\/em>, published earlier this month, Malik opened up about writing Konnakol <\/em>and making sure his South Asian background was a part of it. <\/p>\n\u201cI got into the studio, booked in for 14 days\u2026 the process was trying to create this vision I had in my mind that didn\u2019t exist anywhere else,\u201d he said. \u201cThere was no point of reference I could pull from or say, \u2018I want it to be like this.\u2019 Even though I was drawing from Konnakol in terms of the technique and bringing in South Asian influences, it was still something I\u2019m proposing to a Western market, and I wanted it to still be R&B but have that flavor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always important for me to bring my culture into things because I feel that\u2019s what makes me, me,\u201d he added. \u201cThere are not many Indian-Pakistani artists here in the West that the world knows, so it makes it unique and individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
