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.Zooey Deschanel is one of those Hollywood actresses who drifts in and out of one's consciousness – she plays Trillian in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' – but her musical debut is a record you won't forget in a hurry.
Deschanel and M Ward come on like a latterday Karen & Richard, spinning beautifully melancholic melodies within vintage American forms. There's a pleasing flatness to Deschanel's voice: she sings like a human, not like a singer. Covering "You Really Got a Hold On Me" is an audacity too far (only a maniac would think they can improve on Smokey) but She & Him's own material is adorable enough on its own.
