​Courtney Barnett Covers INXS for Australian Apple Commercial

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Feb 27, 2018

Aussie export Courtney Barnett recently detailed plans for her sophomore album Tell Me How You Really Feel, but before we get to hear more of her latest original material, she's unveiled a cover of an INXS oldie.
 
Barnett covered the band's hit "Never Tear Us Apart" for a new Apple commercial dubbed "First Dance." The clip features the cover tune atop footage of a series of same-sex couples experiencing the first dance at their weddings — shot on an iPhone X, of course.
 
Same-sex marriage was finally legalized in Australia late last year; both Barnett and her partner Jen Cloher have been vocal advocates for marriage equality in their home country.

As previously reported, Tell Me How You Really Feel arrives on May 18 via Mom+Pop/Marathon Artists/Milk! Records. See her upcoming tour dates here.
