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.

"Represents a step beyond 'The Reminder' just because it's a more confident, less self-consciously adorable piece of work... And for another, it's a more grounded, sonically stark record than any of her previous efforts." stereogum.com

"Largely ditty-free, tilting heavily toward Feist's folk, R&B, and avant-garde sides. Anyone who listened closely to 'The Reminder' and 'Let It Die' shouldn't be too surprised by this; only those who think of Feist as a novelty act will be baffled." avclub.com

"'Metals' remains as wonderfully organic and distinct as its predecessors, swerving from svelte, lilting numbers like 'How Come You Never Go There?' to the abrasive, stabbing strings of 'A Commotion', and the sparse, dreamy, simple-as-you-like 'Cicadas & Gulls' or 'Get It Wrong Get It Right'." bbc.co.uk/music
