Idris Elba, one of Britain’s leading actors who has appeared in films like Suicide Squad and Fast & Furious, also pursues music as a hobby.

He’s known for a distinctive sound that blends electronic music and hip-hop.

His notable track “Bigges” is used in the commercial “iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus: Big and Even Bigger.” Despite its downbeat flow, the song has an outstanding sense of drive, and it meshes perfectly with the CM’s world.

The CM song for Apple’s iPhone 12 “Cook,” which shows a man cooking with flair, has a fun vibe.

It’s a track by Naïka, a singer from the United States, and the music video—set in a jungle-like location with her standing in a deep crimson dress—leaves a strong impression.

The rhythmic back-and-forth between her and a man over a piano accompaniment is addictive.

Her exotic look and distinctive vocal style may be influenced by her experience living around the world.

Highly recommended if you like mature, sultry sounds.

Someday, by Spike Jonze | AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

This commercial portrays a protagonist carrying the pain of heartbreak in a cold, icy world, while also conveying the Active Noise Cancellation feature of AirPods 4.

Although the protagonist’s expressions differ between past and present, both are memorably shown conversing with AirPods 4 in their ears.

The song playing during the somber scenes in the first half set in the icy world is “El Conticinio” by Guitarricadelafuente.

Composed solely of guitar and vocals, the simple piece—with its overall calm sound—powerfully conveys a sense of loneliness.

Someday, by Spike Jonze | AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

This commercial conveys how the AirPods 4’s Active Noise Cancellation supports you every day, whether you’re happy or feeling lonely.

It shifts through different worlds—like moving from a lonely, ice-bound world to a past recollection, and then unfolding into a colorful world.

The song playing during the dance scene in the latter, colorful world is “Perfect.” The collision-like sound effects leave a strong impression, and the structure—where these intense sounds gradually increase—clearly communicates the song’s build-up.

While the overall mood isn’t exactly bright, it’s a curious track that still feels lively thanks to the layering of various sounds.
