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.

We had a good run with the whole 'not waiting around for a Frank Ocean album' era, but those days are over.

The fandom's cravings have been stirred with the latest rare utterance from the man himself.

Frank contributed what i-D is calling an "essay" (read: short note) for its latest issue, which concludes with the words now being pasted around the internet:

"If you liked two thousand and seventeen then you'll love two thousand and eighteen."

Though Blonde and Endless fell in 2016, they really sunk in in 2017, which also saw the release of standalone tracks 'Biking', 'Lens' and 'Provider' and a handful of shows

So what's Frank got in store? More blonded radio? More gigs? New tracks? A new magazine? A new album?

Details probably won't be forthcoming, and if they are they're sure to be characteristically oblique.
