Beabadoobee Delivers an Enchanting Cover for 'The New Look' Soundtrack

Beabadoobee has recently graced her audience with a captivating rendition of the classic 'It’s Only A Paper Moon.' This cover is part of the lineup for the soundtrack of the Apple TV+ series The New Look, curated by Jack Antonoff. With a subtle acoustic guitar accompaniment, her voice is rightfully the highlight, and as the track unfolds, it's complemented by orchestral backing and harmonic layers that enhance the charm of her performance.

Lyrical Depth

In this new version, Beabadoobee croons poignant lyrics that bring listeners into a dreamy state: 'Yes, it’s only a canvas sky / Hanging over a muslin tree / But it wouldn’t be make-believe / If you believed in me,' evoking a sense of whimsical romance and longing. The song continues to underline the significance of love with lines like 'Without your love / It’s a honky tonk parade / Without your love / It’s a melody played in a penny arcade.'

A Star-studded Soundtrack

The soundtrack itself has become a collector's piece for music enthusiasts given its impressive roster of contributing artists. It includes covers from The 1975, Lana Del Rey's heartfelt ‘Blue Skies,’ as well as offerings from Florence + The Machine and Nick Cave. Set against the backdrop of World War II focusing on the realm of fashion designers, the music on this soundtrack provides a fittingly rich and stylistic companion to the show's narrative.

With a diverse tracklist that also features artists like Perfume Genius, Joy Oladokun, Bartees Strange, Sam Dew, and Antonoff’s own Bleachers, the soundtrack offers a blend of traditional flair and contemporary interpretation. Fans are encouraged to listen to Beabadoobee’s take on 'It’s Only A Paper Moon' and explore the rest of the stellar soundtrack lineup.
