So, this year's John Lewis Christmas advert song will be amazing

Prepare to feel festive with Aurora and Oasis

 

Prepare to get festive, it looks like the John Lewis Christmas advert is about to be unveiled - and it's set to be an absolute beauty. 

- UPDATE: The ad and song have now been unveiled

Previous songs to soundtrack to Yuletide advert have been sung by the likes of Ellie Goulding, Tom Odell, Lily Allen and Gabrielle Aplin - all going to be hugely successful singles in their own right. 

This year looks set to be no different, with Gigwise favourite Aurora covering Oasis' forlorn and heartfelt hit 'Half The World Away' - according to The Sun

We love Aurora - she's one of our favourites. Part of the incredible Viking invasion conquering our airwaves from Norway, the teenage Aurora has an angelic sweetness to her synth-pop sound - but it's a Trojan horse for the matured wisdom and pummelling melodrama within. She's making pop feel like it matters, and we can't wait for her to dominate 2016.

The Sun also reports that the ad is set to be unveiled tomorrow (Friday 6 November). We're actually excited, which seems a little sad for an advert. It's also said that there will be 30, 60, 90 and 120 second edits of the commercial. 

Last year's ad featured Tom Odell's cover of The Beatles' 'Real Love' - which reached No.7 in the charts. 

Meanwhile, Aurora returns to the UK to play the Deaf Insitute in Manchester on Monday 1 February and Union Chapel in London on Tuesday 2 February. For tickets and more information, visit here
