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.

A carefully-curated array of promising musicians including London based singer-songwriter Cosima, Finish pop artist Alma and South London’s Ray BLK take to legendary music venue, Camden Jazz Café for AMP Collected.

London’s own Cosima, who is creating a buzz on the underground pop scene and is a firm one-to-watch for 2017, starts proceedings with a melodic blend of heartfelt soul and catchy pop; each lyric is passionately produced, demonstrating her storytelling ability in way that is real, honest and effortless.

Having just performed a headline slot at the BBC Radio 1 Future Music Festival Finnish neo pop/R&B artist Alma brings her own unique brand of music to the stage, flanked by her band, donning bright neon hair and exuding a supreme confidence.

The final act of the evening sees south London R&B singer-songwriter Ray BLK take to the stage, fresh of the back of supporting Emeli Sandé on tour.

The winner of the prestigious BBC Music Sound of 2017 poll; she was the first unsigned artist ever to achieve the honour and is undoubtedly destined to become one of the UKs premier R&B artists.

Music Box Session #4: Bassette

The rapport she already has with her audience echoes that of a veteran musician headlining her own tour and this brand of fun, soulful, melodic rap and R&B is easy to listen to and even easier to dance to.

Annie’s Annie Mac Presents brand has gone from strength to strength and if this is the calibre of artists she is bringing to light, that is a very good thing.
