The John Lewis ads in recent years have featured cover versions of songs in their adverts either by known or in some cases, unknown artists. The latest act to sing on one of their ads is Paloma Faith with a cover version of the INXS song Never Tear Us Apart.

To be fair, it’s not bad version of it. She has managed to stick to the original but at the same time, put her own stamp on it and brought it to a new generation. She has the right sounding vocals for it, dark but still able to bring a little light into it. But let’s be honest, the best version does have to be the original, right?

Nice little cover number from Paloma but fear we might be sick of it after hearing it a number of times on the ad.

Rating: 4/5
