Grammy nominees NU SHOOZ filled the airwaves and dance floors of the '80s with their own brand of Soul and R&B. Known for their chart-topping crossover hits, "I Can't Wait," "Point of No Return,' and "Should I Say Yes," the band gained a worldwide fan base and a place in music history. Their smash hit “I Can’t Wait still plays somewhere on Earth every eleven minutes.
The 'Sound of the 80s' lives on in films like The End of The Tour, 10,000 Saints, Hot Tub Time Machine (and more,) plus creative advertising like Target's 'Now This Is Plaid' campaign featuring fun and funky stuff designed by Adam Lippes with 'I Can't Wait' produced by Questlove and sung by Iconapop.
