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.Dr Dre’s first album in more than 15 years has been released. But only on Apple Music.
Compton: The Soundtrack is streaming exclusively on the new streaming service, which is built on Dre’s Beats streaming service. But Apple Music is still in its free trial period — which means you can sign up, have a listen, and leave again if you want to.
Signing up is relatively simple: open up iTunes on a Windows or Mac, or the Music app on an iPhone or iPad and follow the instructions. (Apple Music doesn’t yet have an Android app, but that’s coming in the autumn.)
If you don’t want to stick with it after you’ve listened, you’ll need to turn off the auto-renewing subscription, so that Apple won’t automatically bill you when the free trial period comes to an end. Doing so is relatively easy, but the place to do it can be hard to find — here are full instructions on turning off the auto-renewals.
Apple is promoting the album fairly hard on the various versions of Apple Music, meaning that when you’re signed in it’s likely to be the first thing you see. But if it isn’t, you can find it or anything else through the search bar in the top right hand corner.
