With real voices of Milli Vanilli

"Keep on Running" is a song credited to German pop group Milli Vanilli before and during the lip-synching scandal and later credited to The Real Milli Vanilli after. It was released in 1990 and peaked at number two in Austria, number four in Germany, number six in Italy and number eight in Switzerland. The song was also released in France, but failed to enter the singles chart, as did "Too Late (True Love)".

"Keep on Running" would be the duo's final single as Milli Vanilli, and was the first single of the Real Milli Vanilli.

Critical reception

Gary Crossing from Record Mirror wrote, "It's nice to see these boys back in the forefront of the dance music scene after having their reputations sallied by some unsavoury accusations with regards to their vocal talents. Here they're in someone else's fine voices with this busy stonker of a floor filler, which occasionally lapses into a ' Dreadlock Holiday' stylee reggae lilt. I'm speechless." [1]
