Toyota Lets the Love Flow

For a new 2010 Toyota Prius commercial, Toyota commissioned the services of a distinct vocal harmony on the song "Let Your Love Flow" to complement the sunny visuals created for their popular auto:



For this 3rd generation Toyota Prius commercial, singer Petra Haden sings an a capella cover version of "Let Your Love Flow" (originally by The Bellamy Brothers), singing all the parts of the song herself, with no instruments. Toyota has produced a series of commercials all featuring vocals by Haden, including Prius ads called "Harmony", "MPG", and "Solar". Each TV spot highlights different aspects of the Toyota Prius.

Acapella song covers are nothing new for Petra Haden -- she made a splash in 2005 with her recreation of an entire Who album in acappella, titled appropriately Petra Haden Sings: The Who Sell Out. Her unique vocal covers also include versions of The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows", Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'". (Her cover of the Journey song may be a bit of inspiriation for the version of "Don't Stop Believin'" performed on the Fox TV show Glee, which has recently sold well on the music singles charts.)

"Let Your Love Flow" by Petra Hayden is available as a free download from the Toyota web site.
