The ad celebrates same sex marriage

Courtney Barnett has covered INXS‘ classic single ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ for the new Apple iPhone x ad. Check it out below.

Barnett’s rendition focusses on the intimacy of the track by stripping it right back to its bare essentials. The track accompanies the new advert, entitled ‘First Dance’ – which looks to celebrate same sex marriage.

Following last year’s collaborative album with Kurt Vile, Courtney Barnett returns with the long-awaited follow-up t0 her acclaimed 2015 debut ‘Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit’, with ‘Tell Me What You Really Feel’ arriving on May 18.

Barnett made headlines last year when she lent her name to an open letter criticising the Australian music industry for sexism.

“We are not whingers or vibe-killers,” the letter reads. “We are passionate people dedicating our lives to music. In the face of uncountable discrimination, harassment, violence, and the general menace of sexist jargon, we have gritted our teeth and gotten on with the job. But today we say, no more.”

It continues: “Together, we give a voice to these issues and demand zero tolerance for sexual harassment, violence, objectification and sexist behaviours. There is no place for sexual entitlement in the workplace and in our industry. Change starts today.”
