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.

Kid Cudi

The End

Featuring GLC, Chip the Ripper and Nicole Wray, Cudi's laid-back beats sit nicely behind his guests' vocal energy.

Mona

Trouble on the Way

We tipped them a few months back, but Mona's Kings of Leon-esque second single is bound to make them massive.

Kele

On the Lam (Stanton Warriors Remix)

"On the Lam" is only a week old, but remixes are already appearing everywhere. Stanton Warriors' dark and moody cut stands out.

Brother

Time Machine

Rumoured to have signed to Geffen Records for £200,000, these mega-hyped Britpop revivalists have a lot to live up to. The jury remains out.

Axwell

Watch the Sunrise (Vocal Dub)

It's only November, but if this track is anything to go by 2011 will feature as much perfect sunshine pop as 2010.

Moon Unit Zappa

Valley Girl

Using archive footage of her late father, this "duet" was performed for the first time at a recent Zappa tribute concert.

French Kissing

Oh Suzanne

A perfect slice of Buddy Holly-esque pop rock. FK play their last show of 2010 at London's Macbeth next week.

Pulp

Do You Remember the First Time?

Sheffield's greatest ever band (sorry Arctic Monkeys, but Pulp are a different class) are reforming next year. Expect this emotive anthem to soundtrack any mid-1990s nostalgia in the rundown to their first live shows 14 years.
