These are some songs that you’ve probably heard and even hummed, after watching adverts featuring them, but never bothered to trace the original artists.

These advertisements are a great source to explore new musicians that cater to your choice of music. I know I’ve found a number of new bands that I would otherwise have not. I hope you do too.

Let the music begin!

1) 28000 Days by Alicia Keys, in Levi’s 2016 commercial

2) Figure it Out by Royal Blood in the Galaxy 7 and Galaxy 7 Edge ad
