Relive the Magic of the 80s with Kiwi Icon Rikki Morris and Anika Moa's Remarkable 35th Anniversary Remake of "Nobody Else"
Get ready to embark on a musical journey back to the 1980s as Kiwi music legend Rikki Morris celebrates the 35th anniversary of his iconic #1 hit "Nobody Else." Originally released in 1988, this timeless classic swept the nation, and now, three and a half decades later, Rikki Morris is set to rekindle the magic with a special anniversary edition.
In the late 1980s, New Zealand was riding the wave of 80s pop culture, and at the forefront of it all was Rikki Morris. "Nobody Else" became an anthem for an entire generation with its infectious melodies, catchy lyrics, and Rikki's charismatic voice. It captured the hearts and souls of Kiwis, making it one of the biggest hits of the era, and a song that still resonates with audiences today.
For this remarkable milestone, Rikki Morris has teamed up with legendary Kiwi musician Anika Moa to create a revamped ‘35th Anniversary Special Edition’ of "Nobody Else" that adds a fresh and dynamic twist whilst paying homage to the original that was released under the Rikki and Ian Morris ‘Tex Pistol’ banner. Anika Moa's soulful vocals blend seamlessly with Rikki's, creating an unforgettable synergy that captures the essence of the song's enduring message of love and connection.
“It never fails to amaze me as to how popular this song still is today, the timeless message continues to resonate with the public – it’s the song that just keeps on giving,” says songwriter Rikki Morris
In fact, this 35th anniversary edition will continue giving, with 100% of all pre-order digital downloads being donated to Music Helps, a charity that supports projects around Aotearoa using music to help people who are at risk, vulnerable, experiencing health issues and disability.
This special edition was filmed and recorded live at Parachute Studio for TVNZ's "Reunited" program, adding a unique and intimate dimension to the recording. The accompanying music video is a nostalgic trip down memory lane, seamlessly weaving in footage from the original music video, creating a harmonious bridge between past and present.
As part of the celebration, Rikki Morris is inviting fans to share who the "No.1 Nobody Else" is in their life – that one person you simply cannot do without.
