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.

Future seems to be the go-to guy for surprise collabs.

Earlier in 2015, Drake released his ‘What a Time to be Alive’ mixtape with the Atlanta rapper, and now The Weeknd has gifted fans a track that features a guest verse from him on Christmas Day.

‘Low Life’ which has a similar rhythm to The Weeknd’s ‘Often’ and a similar flow to Future’s ‘Diamonds Dancing’, is the second time the pair have appeared on the same track, following Mike WiLL Made It’s ‘Drinks On Us’ (which contains the most avant garde drum fill of 2015, listen out for it).

The Weeknd also posted a remix of Jeremih’s ‘Pass Dat’ to his Soundcloud, the second track off the singer’s album ‘Late Nights: The Album’.

A ton of artists released tracks as Christmas presents on the 25th, including Radiohead with their rejected Spectre bond theme, LCD Soundsystem with an anti-Christmas song and Future Islands with a cover of Wham!’s Last Christmas.

The Weeknd earned seven Grammy nominations for his Beauty Behind the Madness album this year, a little short of Kendrick Lamar who leads with 11.
