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.

Azure Ray is the some-time project of singer-songwriters Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink.

And though it's been seven years since their last album together, neither – the now obligatory song in Gray's Anatomy aside – has set the world alight solo. Drawing Down the Moon deserves better. It is a record of majestic adult-orientated American pop. Think Aimee Mann within a subtle Southern-state twist. Instruments quiver gently behind lyrics of hope and heartbreak that draw you in while never stopping you dead.
