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.

Grimes recently shared the news that her follow-up to 2015's acclaimed Art Angels should be released this year.

However in a since-deleted Instagram caption she reportedly wrote "welp no music any time soon after all music industry is trash".

In a return to social media the artist born Claire Elise Boucher has now provided fans with another update. She clarified that she is "back in the studio making a million beats" and is working on "one final album for my s**t label and then my first album on a label of my choosing which im [sic] crazy stoked about eeeee."

"Or I might go fully independent, researching options," she added. "The second one [album] will be extreme darkness and chaos, the first will be highly collaborative and most glorious light".

The Independent's album critic Andy Gill gave 4/5 stars to Grimes' album Art Angels and commented: "[Grimes] completely revises the parameters and expectations set by her breakthrough album Visions; it's not so much that she's changed direction completely, as that she's drained her art of the obfuscating sonic blabber to leave her pop aesthetic."
