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.Want to listen to Beyoncé’s Lemonade but don’t want to sign-up for Tidal or pay £13.99 on iTunes? Annie Mac has got your back.
The DJ played the album in its entirety on her BBC Radio 1 show last night, which she christened a 'Lemonade Listening Party'.
If you’re in the UK, you can listen to it back on iPlayer here for the next 29 days (album starts at 01:02:40).
Annoyingly it’s the clean version, but It’s a good opportunity to get your fill, as the album will apparently stream exclusively on Tidal “in perpetuity”.
Here’s the current word from Spotify: “Beyonce's album is not currently available on Spotify. We love Beyonce and we hope that we’ll have the album on Spotify very soon.”
Any Beyoncé release is a huge event, but this album is getting particularly talked about as Beyoncé appears to discuss her husband’s Jay Z’s infidelities.
One track, ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself, contains the line: "If you try this shit again, you gon' lose your wife."
An eclectic mix of people worked on the album including Ezra Koenig and Father John Misty, the latter telling a crazy story today about playing air horn on the record.
