Our Take

NIK KERSHAW's debut album "Human Racing" is a wild ride through the neon-lit streets of the 80s, complete with mullets, synthesizers, and enough catchy hooks to make even the most die-hard indie snob tap their foot. Kershaw's distinctive voice soars over the crisp production, bringing to mind a young David Bowie hitting the dance floor after a few too many cocktails.

The opening track, "Wouldn't It Be Good," sets the tone for the album with its infectious chorus and driving bassline. It's the kind of song that makes you want to roll down the windows, blast the music, and pretend you're in a cheesy 80s movie montage. And honestly, who wouldn't want that?

But don't be fooled by the catchy tunes and upbeat tempo - Kershaw isn't afraid to get introspective. Tracks like "I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and "Human Racing" delve into themes of loneliness and anxiety, proving that there's more to this 80s heartthrob than meets the eye.

Overall, "Human Racing" is a nostalgic trip back to a simpler time, when hair was big, and music was even bigger. So grab your hairspray, put on your neon leg warmers, and get ready to dance like it's 1984 - because NIK KERSHAW is here to bring the party.
