Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

If you've ever called up one of those numbers you see in a movie or on an album sleeve, the likelihood is you will be put through to an automated line or the number won't exist. The chances of you speaking to anyone actually interesting are very, very slim.

Lana Del Rey’s doing things a little different. On her latest release, Honeymoon, she included a phone number on the cover: 1-800-268-7886.

Surprisingly, if you call the number, it goes straight to Lana as these fans found out.

Fans were alerted to the idea she may be answering calls after the singer posted a picture to her Instagram account with the caption “Call me. I’m home alone.”

Lana released her second album Honeymoon earlier this month, with Independent reviewer Andy Gill giving it a 4/5 review, saying “Honeymoon is a very Hollywood album, oozing Californian entropy”.

She also features on The Weeknd’s latest album Beauty behind the Madness.
