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.

Feed five decades of black American music into a supercomputer, press "random", and you've got Twisted Tongue.

The debut from Dave Jay (ex-Soul Hooligan) and Mark Dalton – with a cast of guest vocalists – kicks off in style: opener "You Want That Soul" takes a pinch of the Funkadelic 1970s, a dash of the Minneapolitan 1980s and lays it over a nagging bassline. It's followed by the driving Tamla faux-town beat of "Got a Really Good Thing". This excellent record ought to be the next stop for Mark Ronson's bored former fans.
