"Keep Moving" is the lead song from the soundtrack of film, 4.3.2.1. The song is performed by Adam Deacon and Bashy featuring Paloma Faith. It was written and produced by Alex "Cores" Hayes, and was released on 28 May 2010. The song reworks Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner".
Background and release
Nick Mason and Phil Tidy were approached by Maya Jenkins at Universal Pictures to help with the promotion of the film soundtrack. They came up with the idea of doing a mainstream music tie-in video for this track featuring Paloma Faith, and an underground internet video which will be released soon.
The song was written and produced by Alex "Cores" Hayes (executive producer of Professor Green's UK number 3 album "Alive Till I'm Dead), who also features in the video.
Review
Keep Moving by Adam Deacon & Bashy featuring Paloma Faith is the theme track which cleverly uses samples of Suzanne Vega’s 1980s classic Tom’s Diner. This is by far the stand-out track of the album and you can easily see why this was picked as the frontrunner to the film.[2]
Music video
The video was directed by Nick Mason, and produced by Phil Tidy. The art director was also Phil Tidy and Richie Burridge. The styling was by Andy Blake. Make up artist for Paloma was Natusmi Watanabe, her hair stylist Kenichi. The video was edited by Nick Mason, Animated Graphics by Sam Mason & Ed Saxby and Commissioner: Maya Jenkins at Universal Pictures.[3]
Shot on location in the Sanctum Soho Hotel in London’s glittering West End, the video is for the theme track from Noel Clarke’s new diamond-heist movie 4.3.2.1. Parts of the film were also shot in the Sanctum Hotel and Phil and Nick shot on Red Cam anamorphic lenses so it would cut in as best with the movie footage.[3]
