Paloma Faith - 'Never Tear Us Apart' (John Lewis Advert)

It's available to download on Wednesday (EP)

http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/nev...le/id562183855

Love this song. It's a cover and not on her latest album.

Actually really like this. Last year's John Lewis ad was naff and quite possible the year before that too (only because of how Mumford and Goulding simplified a once-beautiful song), but this is really nice. I had doubts over Paloma lately because her second album was a bit naff due to it being gratuitously over-sung, but this cover shows a vulnerability we've not seen much before.

This means that probably the record of Adele's version never get public.

I thought that was Paloma's voice. It's ok. Nothing to rave about.

I thought it sounded like her too, but wasn't completely sure. I like it, but its not a patch on the INXS original.

Paloma seems to have been used on lots of adverts. Anyway, I like this song.

Just download the original by INXS. It's a far superior version actually sung with some emotion. I I have nothing against Paloma Faith but her version is pretty limp.

Ugh. It's #160 on the iTunes chart though which is odd.

Paloma has confirmed this is her third single from an upcoming re-package of Fall To Grace which is released on the 23rd october

Why the hell are they re-release Fall to grace so soon? It's done very well and hasn't even been out 6 months.

I had a funny feeling there would be a re-release, just not so soon. However this is an exception I will make purely because I love her music and her voice (and her!). I hope it has more than 5 songs on it...

Pre-ordered this a couple of days ago, it now says that the song is expected 21st September. So tomorrow hopefully!

I love the JL advert too.

I'm hoping the music video will be something similar to the advert actually

Personally I can't stand the John Lewis ad's or the winsome cover versions, the Ellie Goulding one particually so

It's at #111 on the iTunes singles chart but isn't even released yet (not albums chart, singles).

The single still shows up in my pre orders, with an expected release date of 21/09 - but I cant find the song by searching for it on iTunes.

And Paloma hasn't tweeted that it's been pushed back either. She retweeted someone saying "Can't wait to download this Sunday".

Uhm... One does simply not sing this song better than Michael Hutchence.
