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.

Solange ft Kendrick Lamar

Looks Good with Trouble

Beyoncé's hipster sister (pictured) has confirmed she will put out a full-length LP later this year. For now, there's this new track; Solange's first release since the excellent 'True' EP.

Holy Ghost!

Dumb Disco Ideas

A video for this new single – the lead track off forthcoming “comeback” album 'Dynamics' – was released to blogosphere acclaim last week.

Katy B

What Love Is Made Of

Toning down the “edgy” dubstep influences of 'On a Mission', Katy B settles for house piano loops and subtle rave synths on this potential commercial breakthrough.

Queens of the Stone Age

Kalopsia

Always beneath the mainstream – too weird, too dark – you get the impression QotSA are happy their chart-bothering days are over.
