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.

Sarah Blasko 'We Won't Run'

Bold percussion and disarming vocals on this beguiling baroque pop highlight from the Australian's Bjorn Yttling-produced new album, showing just why she has won so many awards and plaudits down under.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & The Cairo Gang 'Play, Guitar, Play'

Haunting acoustic preview to Will Oldham's new LP.

Janelle Monae 'Tightrope (featuring Big Boi)'

Star of the future Monae teams up with Outkast rapper Big Boi for an outstanding blast of uptempo R&B funk.

Coppers for Karma 'Femme Fatale'

A fine slice of Kooks-esque pop rock'n'roll from this hotly-tipped London band.

Lali Puna 'Remember'

Modern and beautiful, with an underlying romantic sentiment, this is a startling addition to the German electro band's forthcoming album, Our Inventions.

The Heartbreaks 'Liar, My Dear'

Achingly beautiful debut single from Morecambe's answer to The Smiths.
