Music from the new Sky HD advert

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.

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

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

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 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...
