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.

Now that Ghostbusters' critical reviews have calmed nerves and assured fans they're in for a treat; it's now become a lot less surprising that all the latest artists of the moment are wanting a piece of this rebooted cake.

Though the official new anthem, by Fall Out Boy ft. Missy Elliot, and it's over-strained guitars are frankly a little cringeworthy - good news, it barely features in the film - there are plenty of other selections on the film's soundtrack to get extremely excited about.

The already-released track, Elle King's "Good Girls", provides some lively rockabilly vibes to the game. Elsewhere, the likes of G-Eazy ft. Jeremih, 5 Seconds of Summer, Pentatonix, WALK THE MOON, and Wolf Alice are all set to feature.

Yet, there's one big name that's really been amping up the anticipation for the film's soundtrack; the ex-One Directioner himself, Zayn, formerly of Malik. His track for the album, 'wHo', has been given a brief snippet online.

It's not much; yet, it's already pretty clear Malik's playing fast-and-loose with film's original theme. He's picked up on the track's famous line 'Who you gonna call?" and, in typical Zayn style, turned it into an utterly smooth and sensual ballad.


Really, you're not quite sure here whether said person's calling because of a paranormal infestation, or because they're on the hunt for a booty call. Oh, Zayn.

Ghostbusters is out in UK cinemas now. You can read our review of the film here.
