Nick Cave has released a cover of Édith Piaf’s 1940s hit “La Vie En Rose,” which appears on Jack Antonoff’s soundtrack for the Apple TV+ series The New Look. Stream it below.
On the Antonoff-produced piano cover, Cave takes on the French singer’s signature track in English, giving it a new dimension as he delivers the tender ballad in his distinct voice: “When you speak, angels sing from above/ Everyday words, they turn into love songs.”
Cave’s version of “La Vie En Rose” follows Lana Del Rey’s take on Irving Berlin’s “Blue Skies,” Florence + The Machine’s cover of “White Cliffs of Dover,” and The 1975’s rendition of “Now Is the Hour.”
You can catch the first five episodes of The New Look now. Filmed in Paris, the series centers around Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, and their contemporaries as they launch modern fashion after World War II.
The New Look stars Ben Mendelsohn as Dior and Juliette Binoche as Chanel alongside Maisie Williams, John Malkovich, Emily Mortimer, Claes Bang, and Glenn Close. Catch the trailer below.
Earlier this month, news broke that Cave and his longtime collaborator Warren Ellis teamed up to score the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black. Cave also teased that he was “finishing” a new Bad Seeds album last July.
