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.

A male singer-songwriter with a troubled heart and a penchant for gentle and fragile songs... Wait. Don't turn the page.

Because Richard Walters is not like other men with troubled hearts and a penchant etc. Beneath that quiet exterior ticks a lyrical mind as dark as Florence Welch's. Case in point: the title track here is about a wife-beater. Sung from his point of view ("I'm alive when I hit you now"). Apparently, Walters has now got his epilepsy and love life under control. Gonna be fascinating to see where he goes from here.
