Marina and The Diamonds has covered Cyndi Lauper's enormous "True Colours" (the one covered by Ben Madeley on the Centre Parcs ad).
It's a dazzling take on a classic by Marina Diamandis, who demonstrates the power of her voice throughout. It's a mite short at only two minutes 15 seconds, but Diamandis crams in a lot of greatness into those emotion-packed bars.
Latest LP FROOT was released last year to widespread acclaim - we placed it on our 50 Best Albums Of 2015 list.
