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.

Ali Love is the Hoxtonite scenester best known for guesting on the Chemical Brothers' "Do it Again" in 2007 and for his own magnificent minor hit "Secret Sunday Lover" which provides the template for much of his second album.

Love Harder's 10 tracks all inhabit a quadrilateral whose coordinates are 1980s soul, Euro-house, P-Funk and Moroder-esque electro, and if the lyrics slump too frequently into lazy dance-music clichés, then killer tunes such as "Show Me" more than make up for it.
