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.

"The music is slightly mellower – there are no out-and-out rockers – as Noel seems to be moving ever nearer to the centre ground of classic rock. All the elements in the 10 tracks are in the right place, but there is an air of predictability about it all." musicomh.com

"Ten largely freewheeling tracks that neither amaze nor appal: an adequate selection that, were they were written by someone who didn't have Noel Gallagher's CV would go largely unheralded (though let's just settle one argument here: it still wipes the floor with 'Different Gear, Still Speeding')." drownedinsound.com

"Jazzy interludes aside, there's nothing particularly new here, and certainlynothing that will change anyone's mind about the music of Noel Gallagher." bbc.co.uk/music
