Does anyone know who sings the song 'True Colours' in the new Sky HD advert?

Not Cindy Lauper or Eva Cassidy. Doing my head in.

Not seen it for a few days , I seem to remember it sounded a bit like this one [Fiona Fung] , http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LL96D3CnFMU , this sounds similar [Kasey Chambers] , http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1w7A4ga0A1w

Thanks for that.

Listened to those but, TBH, she sounds more like Dolly Parton.

I'll keep searching.

I thought it sounded a bit like Dolly Parton/Dixie Chicks aswell, I liked it.

Any update on whom it may be?

I've heard the ad again since my last post , I think that it may have been commissioned just for the advert. There's a list here of artists who have recorded it , with a little speaker icon to play a sample - I've played all the female singers and there's nothing the same ; http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=17:1601626

Finally found who it is!!

Joanna Newsom

But can't find where the song is available for download, not available on ITunes

It's definitely not Joanna Newsom. That's just a guess someone's made. I've just fired off an e-mail to the agency that made the ad to see if they'll tell me. You never know I might get a reply.

I have both Joanna Newsoms albums , it's not her - it is a lady called Ane Brun ; http://www.myspace.com/anebrun / http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H9IVcNAFqO4 , The 4info site is incorrect on this one It is available from the iTunes store http://www.anebrun.com/?pg=4 Or pre-order the CD http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7751149

It is Ane Brun.It says so here on her Wikipedia entry.

Just to confirm, the ad agency said it was Ane Brun but we all know that by now . If you don't want to use iTunes you can buy the track here for 80p:

i think it sounds awful! really grates on me!

Good work. Ane Brun, I'll look out for some of her stuff.

Thanks.

I have to say initially I agreed with you - I didn't like her warble vocals much. Mind you, I haven't exactly been having a great month and so any song that sounds remotely like a tear jerker has a negative reaction from me. I have always for example liked 'Leaving me now' by Level 42 and I had to switch the radio off the other day when it came on.

Anyway, the one thing I really do like about the Ane Brun version now is the piano arrangement - really grown on me. The vocals are also growing on me...
