"True Faith" by The Flux

 


"True Faith," a 1987 dance pop hit from Salford, UK new wave band New Order, was covered by The Flux for the soundtrack of Amazon Prime television series "Paradise City."

So, who is behind that heavily auto-tuned voice?

The actor portraying lead singer Simon Ostergaard is the late Cameron Boyce.

Though he has sang in previous roles (perhaps most notably in Disney's 2015 teen musical "The Descendants"), this recording doesn't sound like him, even with the heavy distortion potentially disguising his voice.

The description of the uploaded YouTube video on Sumerian Records' official channel includes a hashtag for Bad Omens. It's possible that Richmond, Virginia metalcore artist Noah Sebastian is supplying the lead vocals.

Whoever the mystery singer is, they did a mighty fine job.
