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.

Sarah Joyce, the artist now known as Rumer, has been knocking around the lower reaches of the music business for years, and has, at 31, emerged as an undiscovered diamond.

Bacharach's a fan, and that figures when you hear her Dusty-meets-Karen-meets-Carole voice and take in its effortless, easy-like-Sunday-morning quality. SOMS consists of 11 pieces of gentle jazz-pop, and if it errs a little on the side of "ready-made Mother's Day present", we'll forgive that. Whatever "it" is, Rumer has it.
