Independence (song)

The song was written by Leon Ware and Winston Sela, and produced by Cary Baylis, Eliot Kennedy and Mike Ward.

"[1] Larry Flick from Billboard called it a "delicious pop/house anthem", noting that "she offers an assured vocal amid rousing mixes that will slam during mainstream peak-hour sets.

"[4] A reviewer from Liverpool Echo wrote, "A surprising comeback, this is Lulu's first new single in ten years and as usual she is keeping up with the trends.

[7] In a retrospective review, Pop Rescue felt that Lulu "delivers a really warm and rich relaxed sound" on "a wonderful track", and "a perfect way to introduce a 60's UK megastar to a discerning 90's audience."

"[8] Matthew Cole from the Record Mirror Dance Update wrote, "The ginger bob returns to her soul roots with a very catchy song, sweetly sung, all boosted by a gutsy CJ Mackintosh mix that will be preferred to the Brothers In Rhythm version.

"[9] Another Record Mirror editor, James Hamilton, deemed it an "unhurried classy Lisa Stansfield-ish garage loper".
