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.

Bob Dylan

Roll On John

------------------

Dan Stuart

Gap-Toothed Girl

Late summer fizz from the former Green On Red mainman's new solo album, The Deliverance of Marlowe Billings, which also has more throbbing, enjoyably dark moments.

Paul McCartney

Live and Let Die

Adele is confirmed as the voice of the new James Bond theme, but can she top McCartney's – which was voted the greatest ever 007 theme in a poll?

------------------

Missy Elliott

Triple Threat

A long-awaited Timbaland-produced comeback single from the rapper – her first since her 2005 album The Cookbook.

Joe Banfi

Guts and Bones

The singer-songwriter from Northwich, Cheshire, looks set to follow in the footsteps of fellow Communion signee Michael Kiwanuka on the back of his haunting debut EP Iron
