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.

Craig David is back. He has a new song. It's one part Craig David, three parts The Weeknd and 15 parts Kanye West and it's completely ridiculous but I kind of love it.

Six years after his last album to feature original material, Trust Me (thanks Wikipedia, I obviously only know Born To Do It), David is to drop a new LP entitled Following My Intuition, and "Cold" is the first single to be released from it.

He seems to be aiming for 808s & Heartbreak-era Kanye West on it (in fact the chorus sample might actually be Kanye?), while lyrical highlights include:

"Cold hearted and deranged like a killer chick from a movie"

"The girl's an instant lover / Like a hit of MDMA"

"Before you know it you're naked"

The new album will also feature a track called "Less Is More" and will be released through Universal.

That's about all we know about it so far, so this seems like a good opportunity to just stop and listen to "Seven Days":

Smooth.
