Nina Nesbitt has unveiled the video for her cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop," which is included on the Deluxe edition of her debut studio album, "Peroxide," is filled with snappy pop songs about growing up, first love and heartbreak, released on Valentine's Day. The Scottish-Swedish singer-songwriter and guitarist recorded her cover version of the British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac's 1976 hit rock track for the department store John Lewis last August, and it has been used in one of their advertising campaigns as she entered the hallowed clique of female singer-songwriters to have soundtracked.
Discovered by Ed Sheeran at the age of 16, and gained exposure as his support act, the Scots starlet is just 19-year-old, but her debut album "Peroxide" looks as if it's about to top the charts as the most pre-ordered record in the history of her record label. Nesbitt has already released several EPs, but the deluxe edition of her new album contains an impressive twenty tracks - quite a feat for somebody who only picked up a guitar four years ago. With her pretty, doll-like features and great big mane of dyed blonde hair, Nesbitt stares out of the cover of her debut album like a standard-issue pop starlet.
Following in the footsteps of friend and fellow female singer-songwriter Gabrielle Aplin, Nesbitt's cover of Fleetwod Mac's "Don’t Stop" for a John Lewis advert is perhaps a little muted and forced, but nonetheless showing off her versatility. The original "Don't Stop" reflects Fleetwood Mac singer Christine McVie's feelings after her separation from Fleetwood Mac's bass guitarist, John McVie, after eight years of marriage. "'Don't Stop' was just a feeling. It just seemed to be a pleasant revelation to have that 'yesterday's gone'," she remembers in The Fleetwood Mac Story: Rumours and Lies, "It might have, I guess, been directed more toward John, but I'm just definitely not a pessimist."

Nesbitt explained of the new single: "I have always loved Fleetwood Mac and am really glad that John Lewis liked my version of Don't Stop." If you've been anywhere near a tellybox over the past few weeks you'll probably have seen their new ad with Nesbitt's vocal chops chucked over the top of it. And now Nesbitt's made her very own video for the quirky little Fleetwood Mac cover. The clip basically features an actual real life tortoise and sees Nesbitt perform in a house, whilst a guy is pictured showering in blue paint (practical) and lots of amazing hair and clothes.
