One of my favorite new artists this year is British pop ingenue Shura, who’s 2016 album Nothing’s Real, has spawned a number of ’80s inspired pop gems. I was fortunate to catch her show at Bowery Ballroom on a rainy Tuesday night with my Shura-fied friend Matthew. The running gag was that most songs were introduced with the inspiration: ‘this song’s about fancying someone when they don’t fancy you back.’ Sure can relate. Check out my five favorite tracks: ‘Make It Up,’ ‘What Happened To Us?,’ Nothing’s Real,’ ‘Touch’ and ‘Indecision’ and enjoy.
