The Edinburgh singer's cover of Fleetwood Mac song 'Don't Stop' is the soundtrack of an ad campaign for the retailer's home insurance arm.
NINA Nesbitt admits she had to pinch herself after being made the new voice of the John Lewis adverts.
The Edinburgh singer is following in the footsteps of Ellie Goulding and Gabrielle Aplin after securing the role of featured artist on the latest £5million publicity campaign for the retail giants.
Speaking from Belgium, where she is playing the Pukkelpop Festival, Stay Out singer Nina, 19, said: “I’m really excited. It’s all come about quickly so it’s not really sunk in and won’t until I've seen it on TV. I only found out I got the job last week.”
Nina covered Fleetwood Mac’s Don’t Stop for the promo for the retail giants’ home insurance arm. The song runs over the story of a family and the contents of their house.
It’s also the 35th anniversary year for the band’s album Rumours. She said: “I’m a big fan of John Lewis adverts even though I don’t watch much TV. I always look out for them and I heard they were looking for someone to sing this year.
“They suggested Fleetwood Mac and I love them so I thought I’d give it a go. I recorded it that night and they told me last week they wanted to use my version.”
