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....Featuring Norah Jones, a compilation of her duets and collaborations with other artists, is remarkable not just for the breadth of those temporary associations – which range from Herbie Hancock to Foo Fighters, OutKast to Dolly Parton – but for the way her voice holds its own in such company.
Whether she's applying the hypnotic title mantra to Q-Tip's "Life Is Better", or matching Willie Nelson's epic languidity on "Baby It's Cold Outside", Jones's voice is the most compelling element, imposing its character throughout. Standouts abound, including her samba-jazz duet with Foo Fighters on "Virginia Moon" and her smoky reinterpretation of Irma Thomas's "Ruler of My Heart", alongside a restrained Dirty Dozen Brass Band and the eerie keening of Robert Randolph's pedal steel.
