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.

If La Grange has been whispered about as a "new Stevie Nicks", it's only half-true.

At her best, like opener "Walk Through Walls" with its fist-in-the-air choruses, the Watford singer recalls 1980S Nicks as well as countless other shoulder-padded MTV rock vixens. The drums and vocals experimentalism of "You Let it Go", meanwhile, has you thinking of Kate Bush. All too frequently, though, La Grange's debut degenerates into drippy hippy-witch wetness.
