Some Voices feature on BBC One #xmaslife advert

BBC One’s #XmasLife Christmas advert debuted on TV on 1 December 2019, a fast-paced mix of animation and live action featuring BBC stars including Graham Norton. The soundtrack is a re-recording of Gorillaz’s Feel Good Inc by members of Some Voices, produced by Native Music Soho.

The theme of the advert is all about living your best “Xmas life” whether by indulging in gingerbread, staying in pyjamas all day, avoiding political chats or binge-watching TV. The BBC Creative team wanted the music to be uplifting and joyous, and who better to provide a fun, choral rendition of a classic track than Some Voices. So one night in November, over 70 choir members lead by Lea Cornthwaite got together at Native Music Soho to record the track.

Helen Rhodes, executive creative director of BBC Creative, said:

"Christmas doesn’t officially start until BBC One release their Christmas campaign, so we hope we’ve done the nation proud with a film that shakes off the shackles of 2019 and embraces our favourite time of the year."

Some Voices’ Gorillaz cover from the advert was popular with BBC One Breakfast Show host Greg James who played it several times:

“The very talented Some Voices - love that!”
