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.

During Frank Ocean’s four years away — between Channel Orange and Endless — we barely heard anything from the ex-Odd Future member.

Yet, since releasing the visual album and departing from Def Jam, fans have been treated to an actual album, Blonde, and numerous new singles.

Both ‘Chanel’ and the Tyler, the Creator and Jay Z collaboration ‘Biking’ debuted on the singer’s Beats 1 radio show ‘blonded RADIO’ earlier this year.

Ocean has since played a brand new collaboration titled ‘Lens’, spinning two versions of the song, the second featuring Travis Scott. Listen here on iTunes or below via Spotify.

Whether a new album is coming remains unknown, but thanks to the consistency of new music, fans remain hopeful a fourth album could be coming soon.

Meanwhile, Ocean has announced a string of live dates, including a headline set at Lovebox festival in London later this Summer.

Last November, the artist gave his most extensive interview in years in which the world discovered a whole bunch of new information.
