Nik Kershaw - Human Racing

This album is reviewed by request for one of my Twitter friends. Thanks for suggesting it, Guy.

On February 24th of 1984, the then twenty-six year old Nik Kershaw released his first studio album Human Racing. With the help of strong pop production and his poster-pretty looks, the album achieved its highest position on the UK charts at number 5 (it spent a total of 61 weeks on the charts) and was also in the top 10 on the album charts in Finland, Germany and Norway. In the US after seventeen weeks total on the Billboard Hot 200 chart, the album only got to number 70.
