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.

Leslie Feist's trajectory thus far has been a masterclass in the blocks used to build a global profile in the 21st century – provide song for iPod commercial and hot, new artist (James Blake); sing with both Wilco and the Muppets.

None of which will matter a jot post Metals, a baroque-pop classic that is "alternative" enough to please anyone who first heard her in Broken Social Scene and commercial enough to suggest a soulful Kate Bush fronting Arcade Fire. Slinky, spooky, superb.
