This cover by Beatrice Florea is okay and the backing really does sound like it could be a Yamaha style.
  Don't ask me which style, I'm very busy with house repairs right now and am writing this during breakfast!   The way I'm hearing it, the drums and guitar are quite generic: several keyboard brands could produce them, but you may be right. The strings seem like they are produced on an arranger keyboard. This version could benefit from some more production - more rock drums, big brass, additional reverb on her mic and less restraint in her vocals.  It really would sound like a Bond film opening credits number.

To be honest, I much prefer the original live version by Hooverphonic at the Queen Elisabeth Hall in Antwerp, Belgium shown below. It's got both a Portishead flavour and a James Bond vibe (in the style of Moonraker sung by Shirley Bassey). The inclusion of a "sample" of the Swan Theme from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake works well with the tune.


I remember seeing Hooverphonic in 2021 in the Eurovision Song Contest - that much maligned music show (at least in England) which seems to have been on television for as long as TV has been around!

The band seemed at the time as if they could do quite well and let's not forget, for all its faults and critics, Eurovision has launched more than a few successful music careers.
