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.

Drake ft James Fauntleroy

Girls Love Beyoncé

Furthering his reputation as the hip-hop star most in tune with his feminine side, Drake returns with this tribute to Mrs Carter.

Lightning Dust

Diamond

The side-project of two members of Black Mountain, Lightning Dust (above) are an ambitious mix of early-70s folk and synth-based electronica.

Yuck

Georgia

Frontman and lead songwriter Daniel Blumberg may have the left the band, but Yuck have confirmed a new album is on its way. Until then, we're back enjoying this track from their debut LP.

Veronica Falls

Waiting For Something to Happen

Last week Veronica Falls released a video featuring close-up nature images cut with stills of the band itself to promote this new single.

Rich Kidd

I'd Be Lying

The Toronto-rapper self-released this track, but he'll doubtless be fighting off record deals once his In My Opinion mixtape drops.

Freddie Gibbs

Paper

The Playlist favourite returns with a fresh blast of mid-90s influenced hip hop. Angry, effortless and increasingly versatile, Gibbs is able to recreate his signature sound no matter who's producing.
