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.

Berlin-based artist LIA LIA has shared the video for her song "Kids".

Directed and produced by the artist herself, the visuals work seamlessly with the quietly-intense instrumentation and her wonderful vocals, that sing a slightly withering take on the younger generation.

Check it out below:

Q&A with LIA LIA

What are you listening to at the moment?

Forever Blue from the album Forever Blue by Chris Isaak.

What are your plans for 2017?

2017 I want to read all ‘bout new wave science fiction and cyberpunk.

I’m a romantic - back then science was deeply romanticised. The rebellion of technology only existed in those minds - in the past. While the present is still advanced, we have to admit that it’s pretty dull and unspectacular. We are clearly not the 21st century kids - Bethke, Gibson, Dick and those other authors imagined. We are not cyberpunks - but whiny wieners.

Besides that I’m completely focused on creating new music.

What was the first gig you ever played and what’s been the best so far?

The first one was in a Buddhist temple in the Yunnan province. The most adventures one so far was on an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic ocean.
