"Ei8ht" is the eighth studio album by English singer-songwriter Nik Kershaw, released in 2012 on his independent label, Shorthouse Records. The album achieved commercial success, reaching No. 91 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 12 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.
Kershaw began working on the album in early 2011, and in a 2012 interview with The Evening Times, he explained that he felt it was time to create a new record. He described the process as something he needed to do periodically to "get it out of [his] system."
Two singles were released from Ei8ht. The first, a radio version of "The Sky's The Limit," was released in August 2012, and its music video premiered on YouTube on 4 August. Directed by Steve Price, the video was filmed at Armagh Observatory and Armagh Planetarium in Northern Ireland, as well as Haytor on Dartmoor. The second single, "You're the Best," was released in September.
"The Sky's the Limit" gained additional recognition when it was featured in the 2016 biographical film Eddie the Eagle and appeared on its soundtrack album, Fly. The album as a whole marked a significant moment in Kershaw's career, offering a fresh collection of material after a long period of relative quiet.
