Question Lily Allen - Somewhere Only We Know
Quote:
Lily Allen has apparently covered Keane's 2004 single 'Somewhere Only We Know' for John Lewis' Christmas TV advert.

Music Week reports that the department store has enlisted the singer for their commercial and that though a version of the Keane track has been recorded, "other alternatives have been considered." Listen to the original version of the Keane song by scrolling down - this version of the track will feature on 'The Best of Keane', which is set for release on November 11.

John Lewis' yearly festive advert has previously featured female vocalists covering classic tracks, with Ellie Goulding taking on Elton John's 'Your Song', Amelia Warner doing the same for The Smiths' 'Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want' and Gabrielle Aplin recording Frankie Goes To Hollywood's 'Power Of Love'. All of the tracks charted highly following their inclusion on the seasonal adverts.

Music Week reports that both PJ Harvey and Annie Lennox were also approached and considered by the brand to provide the music for their new ad, which will premiere later this month or at the start of November.

Like the two most dull artists you could think of put together to create one ultra dull thing (sorry I just don't like her )

I will reserve judgement until I hear it. All J Lewis ads are women with wispful voices over piano led songs. Sounds ok actually.

Keane (only because they are local and I know their parents) but it is quite a good song though

It can't be any more dreary and lifeless as that bint from last year covering one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time.

I think it's their best album but isn't it incredible that all 5 of their albums have gone to #1 in the UK charts? I don't get why people hate them so much, I think they're brilliant.

This, although Under the Iron Sea had some solid singles, IMO. Crystal Ball is a great one.

Yeah that's surprising, I thought they dropped off the radar a bit after their second album

i probably wouldn't like it if it were some new unknown girl also the advert being cute as hell helps

but generally I just like it 'cos I haven't heard the original in so long and it's a very good song. Just write off Keane because most of what they do is boring. This, Bedshaped and Is It Any Wonder though
