Mars Chocolate-owned brand Galaxy has teamed up with with up-and-coming musicians to add a modern twist to Audrey Hepburn's 'Moon River' and promote its new Duet bar.

The song, from 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, previously appeared in the confectionery maker's 2013 ad which featured a CGI image of the iconic actress – but this time around the track features two distinct voices.

The 20-second spot showcases the clashing styles of Irish artist Chanele McGuinness who sings the ballad, and London lyricist Bxnjamin who punctuates each line with a rap.

Galaxy's senior brand manager Christoph Weber commented: “Since the now iconic Galaxy advert starring Audrey Hepburn and featuring the smooth tunes of Moon River first landed on our TV screens in 2013, the tune has really grown to become a part of the Galaxy brand.

“Galaxy Duet provides consumers with the chance to create their own perfect harmony when it comes to indulging in their favourite chocolate, so we’re excited to bring this to life through the two very unique voices of Chanele and Bxnjamin."

Spotify has also partnered with the chocolate brand to allow audiences to stream the track.
