[4] [5] [2] [3] Nu Shooz ist eine Formation aus Portland, Oregon, USA, um das Ehepaar John Smith und Valerie Day, die Mitte der 1980er Jahre mit elektronischer Tanzmusik und vor allem mit der Hitsingle I Can't Wait international erfolgreich war.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Geschichte

Valerie Day und ihr Ehemann John Smith hatten in der ersten Hälfte der 1980er Jahre bereits regionale Erfolge in Portland und brachten 1982 auf dem kleinen Label Nebula Circle ihr Debütalbum Can't Turn It Off heraus. 1985 nahmen sie auf Poolside Records die Single I Can't Wait b/w Don't Turn Back auf[6], woraufhin das Majorlabel Atlantic Records die Formation Nu Shooz unter Vertrag nahm. Der ursprünglich vom Produzententeam „The Drone Bros.“ (Dick & Don) produzierte Song I Can't Wait wurde in einem Remix von John Smith und Rick Waritz auf Atlantic Records neu veröffentlicht und entwickelte sich weltweit zum Hitparadenerfolg.

Das kurz danach veröffentlichte Album Poolside konnte sich in den USA, in Großbritannien und in Deutschland in den Top-40 der LP-Charts platzieren. Die ebenfalls darauf enthaltene Nachfolgesingle Point of No Return war noch ein kleinerer Erfolg in den internationalen Popcharts. 1988 war die aus dem Album Told 'U' So ausgekoppelte Single Should I Say Yes mit Platz 41 die letzte Hitparadennotierung für Nu Shooz in den Billboard Hot 100. Weitere Singles, wie Are You Lookin' for Somebody Nu, waren aber in den amerikanischen Dancecharts vertreten.

2007 veröffentlichte Nu Shooz eine Unplugged-Version ihres Erfolgstitels in einer dem Jazz nahen Instrumentierung und Interpretation.
