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.
Jessie J
Price Tag ft B.o.B
This wholly commercial pop song could quite easily push Jessie J from hyped UK sensation to international star.
Dustland
Oxygen
Remember The Bravery? At 17-years-old Dustland probably won't, but if you were a fan of the Noughties electro-goths you'll love this.
Young Buffalo
Three Deep
Huge "rawk" production inspires comparisons with Mona, but YB's indie awkwardness is defiantly British.
The Boxer Rebellion
Step Out of the Car
Produced by Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams), there's a real buzz around TBR's return. This intense preview track is a worthy showcase of Johns's talents.
Bright Eyes
Haile Selassie
Conor Oberst tackles African history on this grower of a track. A departure from their normal sound; think a less digital-obsessed Grandaddy.
Typical Girls
Our Real Is Real
A chunky, minimalist bass line rumbles beneath spiky guitars and echo-laden vocals.
Lil B
Motivation
Experimental rhythms, deconstructed synths and a Kanye West-esque taste for public self-analysis makes Lil B an interesting prospect.
Breach
Fatherless (T Williams Remix)
An underground dance smash becomes even more funky.
Eat Y'Self Pretty
I Was Born on the TV
Jittery, angular art-rock that makes up in speed and spirit what it lacks in subtlety.
