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.

Lykke Li shared a beautiful, quite intimate musical moment on her Instagram page over the weekend.

The singer posted three clips of herself and Jeff Bhasker, the Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter who's collaborated multiple times with Kanye West, serenading their baby son Dion.

The couple sang a soulful rendition of the Righteous Brothers' '60s classic "Unchained Melody" over a series of three short clips, entitled "ALBUQUERQUE WEDDING SINGERS ( REHEARSAL )".

As Pigeons and Planes points out, Lykke Li is no stranger to "Unchained Melody", having covered the song multiple times on tour and for Australian radio station Triple J.

Watch below.


The Swedish singer recently launched a new supergroup Liv (Swedish for "life"), with Bhasker, Miike Snow members Andrew Wyatt and Pontus Winnberg, musician Jonathan Wilson, and Warpaint drummer Stella Mozgawa; performing tracks described as "the love child of ABBA and Fleetwood Mac".
