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.

Nazareth
`It has been copied many times but this is the best version: it has a grittier vocal and sounds like he is really hurting. It's a great arrangement for a rock ballad, and the guitar work leads you into the melody and his suffering voice. The key is to follow instinct. Nazareth's rough attitude and edginess have influenced us. It dates only in terms of the pre-digital reverbs and echoes.
Basement Jaxx
Red Alert
I like the way they mix almost everything: there is jazz, dance and drum 'n' bass. They do it in a stylish and danceable way. I like the way they use the same effect used on Cher's voice on "Believe" - auto- tune. It originally came about because some people can't sing in tune, but it is now used for additional effects. '
