What with the plethora of breathy, slow piano versions of songs doing the rounds at the moment on an assortment of random adverts, you'd be forgiven for not wanting to ever hear another. But wait, because Nerina Pallot is here to save the day.
Her version of Radiohead's classic High And Dry works so well because it feels genuine, a heartfelt statement of intent rather than these cheap and thoughtless commercially driven ad covers. Nerina's vocals are delicately, sensually soulful - elevating the haunting, ethereal tones of the original to a whole new level of magnificence.
Properly beautiful.
Listen to the cover version on Radio 2's online player - 1.42 into the show.
