Singer Claims The Last of Us Part II TV Spot Features Her Rendition of a Song, Yet She Didn’t Receive Credit



Naughty Dog and Sony have come under fire for the use of a ?True Faith? cover in The Last of Us Part II?s TV spot. The shorter and extended versions of the commercial feature Ellie singing bits of the song. However, it seems the track that backs the trailer was used without giving credit or compensation to the original cover?s singer, Anna-Lynne Williams.
According to Williams, a singer and songwriter from Seattle, the version of the song in Part II?s TV spots directly copies her cover of ?True Faith.? Whomever sings the trailer?s iteration, Williams claims, actually sings original lyrics that she wrote for a 2010 rendition of the New Order classic. The performer shared her concerns in a Twitter post that?s since been deleted. Her tweet read as follows (via Wccftech):
PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();
