Katie Melua 'Quiet Moves' by MrMr

David Knight - 26th Apr 2023

A bored fish and chip worker loves to dance, in this life-affirming video for Katie Melua by MrMr. 

Melua's song Quiet Moves is about immigration and culture; how growing up in the UK impacts on those who were come from other countries - as Melua herself did - and how these people retain their cultural heritage, often 'quietly'. The video reflects that message through the lead character. He has the most English of jobs - working in a fish & chip shop. But he wants to dance... when no-one is watching.

Only it turns out that someone is watching: a little girl who becomes his fascinated spectator and then his dance-partner, when he takes his dance to the streets around the fish and chip shop. 

MrMr - aka Katie Lambert and Martha McGuirk - give the video a charming simplicity and lightness of touch that suits the characteristic gentle delivery of Katie Melua - who cameos as one of the fish & chip shop customers. The duo are better known as producers, but they show here they have a good reason to be serious about switching over to directing.
