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.In the past year, I've developed this passion for hamburgers. I eat them about six or seven times a week and, though I'm not brand-loyal, I'm a huge fan of McDonald's. On the road, most of the time when we see the Golden Arches, we'll pull in and, in an average sitting, I'll eat a Quarter Pounder meal, a Big Mac meal and a couple of hamburgers.
We were in the States recently and we watched Super Size Me. After it, we couldn't wait to get to the nearest McDonald's. I'm not sure that was the desired effect. I'm 28, so it's not showing on my body yet, but my cousin did sit me down recently and give me a talking to about all the red meat I'm eating.
Sometimes, after eating a burger, it feels wrong, but then the craving kicks in. I write songs about need and desire, and who's to say that when I sing, I'm not thinking about my next burger.
Elviin's debut single, "In Colour", is out tomorrow on Virgin Records.
