Search - Nik Kershaw :: 15 Minutes

Late 90's pop-rock masterpiece, criminally overlooked

"Kershaw reminds me of a lot of other pop/rock singer-songwriters like Aimee Mann, Elliot Smith or Glenn Philips who are never appreciated to the degree they should be, because (especially young) people are always looking for the excessiveness in popular music. It isn't exactly something you say..."check out 15 minutes, this f&*%n rocks man". But repeated listens reveal a man who has a gift for writing this kind of music that is only shared by a handful of people on the planet (think Paul McCartney, Sting in the Police years, etc.). Beatiful, moving, perfect songs."

THE MOST UNDERRATED MUSICIAN IN THE MODERN AGE

"like I said in the title....Nik is BRILLIANT. this guy......he takes a melody and makes it his own testament to the human condition. 15 mins is a GREAT album full of beautiful melodies and lyrics. no song is wasted or filler.



for those of us who love and crave REAL MUSIC in an era where the recording industry has all but forgotten about looking for new TALENT and true musicianship, Nik Kershaw is an oasis in the desert of CRAP (HIP HOP for one example!) that seems to be ever present on the airwaves.



I just recently bought his new CD, "you've gotta laugh" via his website, from Shorthouse records and he picked up right where he left off in 1999.

there might be the better part of a decade between albums but HIS MUSIC IS ALWAYS WORTH THE WAIT, FOLKS!!! BUY HIS ALBUMS!!!!!"
