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.Today we exclusively bring you Craig David's official music video for "Live in the Moment", the latest dollop of pop-funk-infused R&B to be taken from his forthcoming seventh studio album, The Time Is Now.
"This song really sums up my outlook on life and how much I value living in the moment, as I’ve realised that’s where all the fun and magic is," David said. "It was amazing to work with Kaytranada again as he always comes so correct with the beats, so when I heard this one I instantly fell in love with the groove and knew exactly what I wanted to talk about."
GoldLink is David's latest collaborator, following JP Cooper, AJ Tracey, Ella Mai and Bastille who are all also on the new LP.
"What made this record for me though was having the opportunity to work with such a talented rapper as GoldLink," David continued. "Not only was the vibe incredible in the studio with G, but it was amazing to connect with someone I have been following for a long time now who is an amazing human being on and off the mic. Excited for people to hear this and turn it up incredibly LOUD.”
GoldLink added: "Amazing vibes all round. Very natural song process as well… I was never the type to work in a studio with someone. I’m more of a bedroom rapper, but the environment had such a home feel that I was comfortable enough to break out of my shell and make something I was proud of with a person who I deem as a legend. Craig is one of music’s greatest voices, and I’m honoured to be part of this album”
