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.Rationale's most recent single 'Deliverance' felt like a massive step up.
The song is this exquisite moment of calm, that explores the aftermath of a broken relationship and how the narrator doesn't want to let go, despite all the hurt caused.
That beautiful gospel chorus thrown in on the word 'happier' adds to themes of an almost-religious worship someone can feel for the person they love.
We're premiering the video which accompanies the music perfectly - check it out (above).
Q&A with Rationale
What are you listening to at the moment?
I'm listening to Kendrick Lemar's new album “Damn” on repeat at the moment. Its brilliant! I love the way he's upped his game record by record.
What are your plans for the rest of 2017?
I'm really looking forward to playing my first Glastonbury and Ibiza Rocks festivals. There's also the small matter of finishing and releasing my debut album! It's been a long time coming.
What was the first gig you ever played and what’s been the best so far?
The first gig I ever played was YOYO's at the Notting Hill Arts Club. No bigger than my bedroom to be honest but it was incredible.... I then proceeded to get very drunk with Example. He probably wont remember that.
The best gig I've played in the UK has to be the O2 Arena in London supporting Bastille, twice! They don't come more memorable than that really.
