Nick Kamen - Move Until We Fly (1990)

Ivor Neville "Nick" Kamen (15 April 1962 – 4 May 2021) was an English male model, songwriter and musician. 

He was best known for the singles "Each Time You Break My Heart" from 1986 and "I Promised Myself" from 1990, as well as for appearing in a 1985 Levi advert.

1990 saw the release of one of his biggest hits. The single "I Promised Myself", from the album Move Until We Fly, reached Number 1 in eight European countries and was the fourth most played record in Europe in 1990. 

The song was later covered by Dead or Alive (1999), A-Teens (2004), Basshunter (2009), and most recently by German punk rockers Maggers United (2013). 

Na het verschijnen van de reclame, waarin het nummer I Heard It Through The Grapevine van Marvin Gaye te horen was, steeg de verkoop van de jeans enorm.

De beelden werden ook gezien door Madonna, die onder de indruk was van Kamens charisma. Ze besloot het door haar geschreven nummer Each Time You Break My Heart, dat haar album True Blue net niet heeft gehaald, door de zanger op te laten nemen. Het lied belandde in de top 10 van de Nederlandse Top 40.

In 1990 scoorde hij wederom een grote hit met I Promised Myself, geproduceerd door Pet Shop Boys-producer Andy Richards.

Nick Kamen - Us (1988)

Ivor Neville "Nick" Kamen (born 15 April 1962 in Harlow, Essex, England) is an English male model, songwriter and musician, and brother of session guitarist Chester Kamen.
He is most remembered, in the UK, for his 1985 performance in Levi's "Launderette" television commercial, where he strips down to stone-wash his blue jeans in a 1950s style public laundromat while he waits clad only in his boxer shorts, which was one of a series of Bartle Bogle Hegarty advertisements that dramatically increased the popularity of Levi 501s.
His first single was the 1986 UK number five hit "Each Time You Break My Heart" from his eponymous début album. Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray,

Then in 1988, Kamen released his second album ``Us´´, produced by Patrick Leonard, who has produced some of Madonna albums. This song was the first single, and Madonna again made a collaboration, though only singing the backing vocals, without contributing to the producing or songwriting. It was composed by Nick Kamen, David Williams and Patrick Leonard.
On the video we can watch Kamen lost in a little village in the desert, where he meet a very pretty giant woman.
