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.

"It was revolutionary at the time, or so it seemed to an 11-year-old. I listened to it intensely for a year without being able to understand the title. It was like a concept album, the geometric shapes on the cover and the two versions of "Joan of Arc". It's funny, because it hasn't really stayed with me, but as a kid these weird elements seemed like `wow!'".

"I heard this on a compilation tape in a friend's car, an amazing cover version of Lou Reed's "Pale Blue Eyes". When you discover a new voice and it's utterly compelling, you just fall in love. It is quite rare, as you get older, to discover things like that. And to find a singer who has real warmth and a sexy, sensual album. It is one of those records you live with."
