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.

Frank Ocean has released his first solo music since albums Blonde and Endless: the gorgeous cut for his song 'Chanel'.

He premiered the song on the second episode of his 'blonded RADIO' show on Beats 1 on Friday evening, shortly after featuring on Calvin Harris track 'Slide' alongside Migos.

Ocean also made two Tumblr posts to accompany the track release: one featuring art with the fashion brand's famous logo, and another showing the song's lyrics in an interesting pattern.

A version of the song featuring A$AP Rocky was also played on Beats 1.

Listen to the solo version below - it's available on Tidal, iTunes and Spotify.

The song opens with the lines: "My guy pretty like a guy/And he got fight stories to tell/I see both sides like Chanel/See both sides like Chanel."

Ocean's collaboration with Calvin Harris and Migos - 'Slide' - is already being tipped as one of the songs of the summer.

The Scottish DJ had been teasing the track for weeks over Snapchat before revealing its title on Twitter.
