I’ve tried a web search for this to no avail. I’m looking for a song from the recent remake of The Thomas Crown Affair It’s the song playing as Crown and his cronies with the bowler hats are swarming around the museum in the climactic scene. Piano music, and a reggae-sounding vocal. The list of songs on the soundtrack is of no help.
Anyone happen to know who performed this fantastic song? Thanks in advance.

Well, blessed is just about everyone with a vested interest in the status quo,
as far as I can tell.
I’d have to say [http://www.soundtrack-express.freeserve.co.uk/osts/thomascrownaffair.htm]Bill Conti based on this…
“Conti’s kinetic mixture of piano and string motifs playing off each other fit like a glove. Aside from this pseudo Michael Nyman with tunes music, the rest is pretty much made up of various jazzy inflected pieces. Never Change starts with a kind of sophisticated, modern jazz combo (which quickly and painlessly moves into the aforementioned piano motifs). Meet Ms Banning is more what might be deemed as late night, smoky jazz club type of laid back thing. The final (and very brief cue) reminds me of the kind of Jerry Goldsmith jazz that appears during the quieter moments of his cop drama scores such as LA Confidential although Conti’s music is quite a bit warmer and less abrasive”
It goes on to say that not all the Bill Conti work in the movie is on the soundtrack.
D’oh
I’ll say it again…Bill Conti based on this…
