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.It was a surprise to learn that Brian Eno wasn't involved in this multilayered, subtly textured album. For example, the slowly building "International" is pure My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, with its airport-Tannoy female voice reeling off world cities to a complex ethnic groove of unknown provenance. Top marks to this Senegalese star for coming back after eight years with a sound somewhat removed from the obviously African, but so coolly 21st century. A sublime, fully realised success.
