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.

And the voice which, if you're of a certain vintage, was pop returns.

The majority of A (clever title, in the context of Faltskog's history) consists of dignified, age-appropriate ballads. Gary Barlow duet "I Should've Followed You Home" is annoyingly good. The Robyn-esque "Dance Your Pain Away" is a gay disco anthem in waiting. And "I Keep Them on the Floor Beside My Bed", written by Agnetha herself, picks up – in tone and title – where The Visitors left off.
