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.

Gold Panda

Financial District

This B-side to Gold Panda's forthcoming 7" single 'Mountain' mixes ghostly folktronica with a disorientating, slightly off-beat keyboard hook.

R. Kelly

Share My Love

The ego returns with a typically sex-obsessed slice of string-laden neo-soul.

Azealia Banks

Jumanji

A brilliantly produced track based around a simple steel-drum beat that both complements and competes with Banks' unique rap delivery.

Disclosure

What's In Your Head?

The London house duo return with a stunning new cut.

Neneh Cherry & The Thing

Dream Baby Dream (Four Tet remix)

Cherry's 'Suicide' cover gets another reworking, this time by Four Tet, who turns it into an eight-minute jazz piece,

Kitty Pride

Okay Cupid

This peculiarly structured track has been blogged about everywhere this week. Pride is backed by warm synths and a skittish beat as she half-raps about fan worshipping Odd Future members, and writing celebrity crushes on her schoolbooks. Feel old yet?

Jeremiah Jae

Money

A minor-chord guitar and melancholic sample drive this downbeat, two-minute slow jam about, erm, money.
