Beabadoobee treated fans to a beautiful new cover of “It’s Only A Paper Moon,” as part of Jack Antonoff’s soundtrack for Apple TV+’s The New Look television series. Backed by a light acoustic guitar, her voice takes center stage. As the song progresses, some orchestral instrumentals and layered vocals are introduced, adding to the mesmerizing effect of it.
“Yes, it’s only a canvas sky / Hanging over a muslin tree / But it wouldn’t be make-believe / If you believed in me,” she sings. “Without your love / It’s a honky tonk parade / Without your love / It’s a melody played in a penny arcade.”
The show itself centers around fashion designers and is set during World War II. Over the past few months, other songs from the album have been released, including The 1975’s cover of Bing Crosby’s “Now Is The Hour” and Lana Del Rey performing Irving Berlin’s “Blue Skies.” There have also been singles from Florence + The Machine and Nick Cave.
