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.Robyn has covered Wham!’s famous song "Last Christmas" for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge.
The Swedish pop star performed a stripped-back rendition of the hit Eighties track, as she hailed the late George Michael as her "hero". She also sang a reworked version of her single "Honey" during the session.
Watch the BBC Live Lounge session, below:
Robyn released her new album Honey in October, marking her first full-length studio release in eight years.
Honey was named as one of The Independent's best albums of 2018. In a review, our critic said the new record "glows with a bittersweet sensuality".
"Producers Klas Ahlund and Joe Mount (Metronomy) have kept core elements of classic Nineties Robyn – vocals hunting the heart through a crowd of house beats and big blocky organ chords – but given them a modern twist in little kicks of off-pitch bleeping or scratchy samples of mobile phone conversation."
Robyn’s European tour begins in Norway on 5 February and will resume in April, concluding with two nights at London’s Alexandra Palace
