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.Despite winning Grammies for Best Instrumental Album with his last two albums, on Sound the Alarm Booker T reverts to his role as A&R/production svengali, creating custom-tailored settings for guest vocalists. Some, like Estelle, are well known; others less so, such as Kori Withers (daughter of Booker's old colleague Bill), who duets with the organist on the gentle shuffle “Watch You Sleeping”, one of the album's highlights. Anthony Hamilton provides another, bringing a gospelly spirit to “Gently” Elsewhere, Raphael Saadiq and Gary Clark Jr lend their talents to the great party groove “Fun”.
