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.

Agnetha Faltskog, or “the blonde one from Abba”, is to release her first album in almost a decade.

Simply entitled A (that’s for Agnetha!), the album will be out in May. Her official website states that it will feature a duet with Gary Barlow and the record is the result of a collaboration with Jorgen Elofsson, who has worked with Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson. He’s also written for Jedward and H & Claire, but weirdly her website doesn’t mention that.

Abba have sold 370 million albums and singles, and disbanded in 1982. Since then, Faltskog has gained a reputation for being somewhat of a recluse, which feels a bit unfair just because she hasn’t popped up on I’m a Celebrity…

Faltskog’s new single, “When You Really Loved Someone”, is no “The Winner Takes It All”, but should appease diehard Abba fans who await that elusive reunion.
