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.Beyoncé has release a new music video for the song “7/11”, the sixth single from her self-titled album which came out last year.
The three and a half minute clip shows the US star dancing around an apartment building and hotel in her underwear, accompanied by friends.
Scenes include the construction of a human pyramid and a scene in which Beyoncé bounces on her bed.
Keen eyed viewers will spot what looks like the singer's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, on her bed during some scenes.
The video appears to have been shot on a mobile phone, lacking the professional production of most videos. At one point the star picks up the camera and points it at herself, mimicking the popular ‘selfie’ style of photography.
During the course of the video the singer appears to drink alcohol from typical American party ‘red cups’ while the lyrics of the song repeat “I know I'm thinkin' bout that alcohol”.
Activities depicted in the video appear to be a reference to US “sorority” culture at the American universities.
Beyoncé’s latest album has sold more than five million copies worldwide.
