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.
