Parker's musical ads for clothing chain The Gap, have reportedly struck a sour note and the company have opted to change their summer advertising strategy by replacing Parker with the young soul singer Joss Stone.  Stone will appear in the ads which will reportedly also feature her music. 

The Wall Street Journal reports that Parker had signed a multiyear deal with The Gap; the company now says that it was a "unique" contract and they will never again offer a single individual a similar deal.
