THE voice behind the John Lewis ad, Gabrielle Aplin is well and truly front and centre now.
Her cover of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s ‘Power of Love’ went straight to the top of the charts, but while she made that track her own, to use a horrid cliché, it is in her own work that her talent really shines.
There are traces of some of the best names in the female singer, songwriter genre in her songs, but Aplin also manages to plough her own furrow. Mention should be given to the production, which makes the most of her vocal talent.
