Then I spotted Nik Kershaw in the "related artists". Could it be that he too is a cult figure in a UK seaside town? Oh. No. Kershaw's main musical contribution since the late '80s is as a songwriter; he's written several songs for other artists, including Chesney Hawke's hit single "The One and Only." Hmmmm. I give the new work (of course there's new work) an experimental listen, and it's eerie. Like opening a time portal back to the radio I used to listen to in the caravan. Except the lyrics, now; they make more sense, although that's not necessarily a good thing ...
Paging Nik Kershaw Also, Chesney Hawke??? |
