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.

"Contains all the charm and graces of ...Illinoise but it also marks a shift in his sound that will both alienate older fans and earn him new ones with what could be termed his own Kid A. The glittery soundscapes, dreamy harmonics and floating choral accompaniments are still present, only significantly evolved" state.ie

"An audacious, eminently enjoyable offering from a singer whose deep reserves of curiosity and invention show little sign of dwindling. That, surely, is enough." drownedinsound.com

"Stevens undoubtedly remains a substantial talent – this is arguably as good a showcase of his madcap aspirations and multi-instrumental skill as anything else in his catalogue. He is not, however, a judicious editor. This is an extravagant and undisciplined album that is nearly impossible to digest." musicomh.com
