British multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer Novo Amor (aka Ali Lacey) follows up his acclaimed 2014 début "Woodgate NY" with beautifully melancholic new single "Anchor". The track's yet another alt-folk track laced with hooks that are destined for your chillout playlists!
If you've not heard of Novo Amor before his work has been on many TV adverts, two examples are the AXE/Lynx advert for where his cover of Guns N Roses' "Welcome To The Jungle" and the latest Expedia advert which has his track "From Gold" in it. Listen to his new track below.
Everyone loves a cover, and last year we done a huge post on the best 30 of the past 5 years, but we feel the urge to do another post. This time, including 2015's covers only.
Enjoy.

UK-based folk singer/songwriter Novo Amor has announced his new single "Callow". You can listen to the track below, and even though it's been on the net for a few months already it hasn't lost the magic it beholds!
Novo Amor's songs have been featured in television shows including FOX’s Bones, UK E4’s Made In Chelsea, and indie feature film The Better Man. He has played select shows across Europe and the UK, including Norway’s Øya Festival and the Barn on the Farm Festival.
Yes, it is a cover of the classic Guns 'n' Roses track, and it's also featured on the new Lynx Black advert, which is on air on UK TV in March 2015. You can watch the advert/music video just below.
This might just be one of THE most beautiful covers I've heard in a long time!

I wanted to rework this hugely powerful song to a point where it was nearly unrecognizable, giving me the chance to really make it my own. I’ve gone for a complete juxtaposition from the original, once combined with the video I think it creates something quite beautiful and striking.
