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.

Released to acclaim in the States last summer, White's solo debut is a slinky stew of singer-songwriterly grace set against stabs of Southern soul – Bon Iver backed by the Stax house band.

Strings and horns dance around in the subtle, sometimes funky background, while White's songs burst with Cosmic American ambition, referencing everything from Otis Redding to Gene Clark's No Other. Yep. That good. A genuine classic, in fact.
