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.

Solange has taken the world off guard and surprise released her new album.

When I Get Home, the singer's fourth full-length album, is comprised of 19 tracks and incorporates funk, R&B, blues and soul over its 39-minute runtime.

Artists to feature on the album include Tyler, the Creator, Gucci Mane, Sampha, Cassie, and Dev Hynes (Blood Orange).

The reaction online has so far been positive, with fans calling the album "breathtaking".

Solange preceded the release with a takeover of the website BlackPlanet.com, which included cryptic phrases that appeared to announce her statement of intent with this album: "An exploration of origin... I made the pilgrimage back to the pagoda of Third Ward Houston to answer this."

The album is available on all major streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music.
