Nu Shooz

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗱, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗴𝗹𝘆… 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗱!

After Nu Shooz’s 1986 UK junket, we came home to a fat packet of press clippings.

Some were sweet. Some were savage. A few were… genuinely weird.

Artists get pelted with roses. Artists get pelted with rotten fruit.

One time, John got pelted with a 7-Up can (empty, thank goodness!).

We learned fast that reviews are not a measuring stick. They’re a mood with a byline.

Fame is strange, critics are cranky, and the only sane move is to keep making the thing.

So, if you’re making art, keep going, like we did!
