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 Ware and Benzel

If You Love Me

Ware embraces 90s R&B on this excellent Brownstone cover. The reworked dubstep beat makes this a thoroughly modern interpretation, however.

Gunplay

The Hard Way

Pure rap machismo. The lyrical quality is questionable, but Gunplay's putdowns are the stuff of playground dreams.

Carnage featuring Katie Got Bandz

Kat!e

Katie Got Bandz follows up her 'Katieeeee' hit by appearing on this synthy Carnage number. She may need to work on the song titles, though.

Yvette

Radiation

The Brooklyn duo make complex post-punk soundscapes that are as demanding as they are experimental.

Veronica Falls

Teenage

With a considerably brighter mood than their gloomy debut LP, the Londoners sound almost happy on this celebration of youthful naivety.
