What they are saying around the world about NIK KERSHAW CHARTBEAT MAGAZINE “A total original...” SMASH HITS “Kershaw’s talents are shining through and even the critics will have to admit ‘The Riddle’ is a stunning song." PATCHES MAGAZINE “This album is so alive with ideas there is always something there to rivet your attention.” SOUNDS “At it’s best the album is everything the music of the 80s’ should be powerful, rhythmic, melodic, refined and above all cuttingly articulate Kershaw is three times as inspiring .as Wham, four times more enjoyable and five times more intelligent.” SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER & CHRONICLE “Surrounded by a sumptuous synthesizer sound, Kershaw fashions beaty tuneful songs that mark him as a songwriter of serious distinction.” RIP IT UP “Nik is Pretty.” “Nik wears designer jeans.” . “Nik is sensitive.” ... Since this review appeared thousands of New Zealanders have bought The Riddle suggesting that this reviewer besides being out of step with the rest of the world lacks credibility with Rip It Up readers. Perhaps he should review records instead of their covers. M < < 1 I x P C/5 cc LU * >et i i
