"Human Racing" is Nik Kershaw's first album. It was released in 1984 by MCA Records.
Eighties pop delivered several talented artists in the genre, one of them being the British, Bristol-born Nik Kershaw.
Kershaw's '84 debut "Human Racing" not only showed his vocal skills and ability to play Guitar, Bass, Keyboards and Percussion, but also Nik's superb songwriting and the terrific production by Peter Collins.
"Human Racing" itself is a product of its time, superbly dynamic and brilliantly arranged with an emphasis on melody and hooks. Catchy choruses a-plenty, guitar solos and the customary '80s keyboards and synths.
