NU SHOOZ NEWS!

In 2006 it was the 20th Anniversary of the song "I Can't Wait" topping the charts and Nu Shooz receiving a Gold record for our album "Poolside". Long story short, we thought it would be fun to celebrate!

So, we went in the studio, and recorded a sexy, soulful, acoustic version of "I CAN'T WAIT UNPLUGGED" that takes the original and connects it to the different kinds of music that John and I have been creating since the 80's. It was an experiment – if we didn't like it, we'd drop it, if we did, we'd go ahead and put it out there – as a thank you of sorts to all our friends and fans who made the original happen to begin with.

To our amazement, it worked!

So here's the latest:

The response to our shows in Portland and the radio airplay we recieved convincinced us that there might be some interest in a full CD, so we've written some new songs and arranged a couple of other Nu Shooz hits that we're currently in the studio recording with the Nu Shooz Orchestra.

Who would have thought? I guess it's a good idea to never say never.....

Thanks for listening!

Valerie
