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.

Santigold was one of 2008's great pop finds, making the sound of tumbleweed whistling around her second album baffling.

Especially given the results: a humid fever-dream of globally minded electronics and post-punk hauteur even more atmospheric than her debut. As strong on sensually zoned-out ballads as it is on MIA-ish, martial-dance workouts, it even contains what sounds like an apocalyptic riposte to "Kids in America". Bewitching.
