Feb 26, 2018 By Christopher Roberts Courtney Barnett

Australian singer/songwriter/guitarist Courtney Barnett is releasing a new album, Tell Me How You Really Feel, on May 18 via Mom + Pop/Marathon Artists/Milk! Records. Previously she shared its first single, “Nameless, Faceless,” via a video for the song. (It was our #1 Song of the Week.) Now she has covered a song by her fellow countrymen INXS, “Never Tear Us Apart” from their 1987 album Kick. Her cover appears in a new one-minute long Australian iPhone X ad entitled “First Dance” that celebrates marriage equality, as same-sex marriage was legalized in the country late last year. The video features various same-sex weddings. Watch it below, followed by her upcoming tour dates.

Last year Barnett teamed up with American singer/songwriter/guitarist Kurt Vile for the collaborative album, Lotta Sea Lice, which came out in October via Matador. (It was one of our Top 100 Albums of 2017.)

Read our 2017 interview with Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile on Lotta Sea Lice.

Barnett released her debut full-length album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, via Mom + Pop in 2015 and it landed at #6 on Under the Radar‘s Top 100 Albums of 2015 list.
