Some 80s artists were aiming for a clean break with pre-80s pop - but Nik's work used the new synth tech and enhanced production techniques to build on what had gone before. I believe that is why his work appealed to multiple generations - and continues to do so.
Soundtrack to my pre-teen years. Still don't know how I could lose the cover of the Human Racing MC I had borrowed from a friend. Was heartbroken to have to tell him I had lost it. I'm still sorry, Jens...
thanks Andy for this interview with Nik. You're right, that period has been particularly creative, no one standards. I'm embarrassed by this current musical panorama.
Airtime for Nik Kershaw on Virgin Radio. Nice one Andy !
Niki you look and sound wonderful. Love y’all. Old lady here in the US!
I love his song "Wouldn't It Be Good" I was a teenager in the 80's. That song also was in the film Pretty In Pink 😎👍
Listened to Nik from "Human Racing" to "To be Frank". The song writing talent is huge with this guy.
He's a precious talent in an age where everything is pre-packaged corpo-pop. One of my favourite singer/songwriters of all time.
YOU know your good when Elton asks you to guest on an album.
