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.

The difficult second album? No sirree! Not for this Brazilian singersongwriter.

Spacious, dub-influenced arrangements featuring spooky keyboards, edgy guitar, and jazzy horns are all laid out in the sun for Céu to breathe airily her bossa nova-style vocals over. This is a breathtakingly confident, effortlessly modern album that honours many different styles of music (reggae, rock, trip-hop, Afrobeat and more) but still comes out sounding like Céu. Unquestionable one of the world albums of the year.
