Bright, optimistic, with an unrelenting eye on the dance floor, it is regarded by many as a prototype of the electro rhythms that would become the signature sound of Nigerian boogie. A Cameroonian by birth, Cross arrived in Lagos a cheeky smile, a pair of white dungarees and a bag full of songs. After proving his chops with uncredited session work, he signed with the legendary Coconut label, hooked up with producer Modjo Isidore and created a stone cold boogie classic in New Revolution. ’Gimme Some Lovin’ and ‘Get Up And Dance Salsa’ (briefly a dance craze in Lagos, apparently) are dance floor classics, ‘Jeanie My Love’ the obligatory love ballad and ‘We Need Freedom’ a Marleyesque call for peace across the continent. The real surprise is ‘Rock n Roll Birthday’, a rockabilly number straight out of 80’s London. (The cover photo has a similar vibe.) Sadly, New Revolution was to be Baad John Cross’s only album. He was soon back in Cameroon, eking out a career as a session musician, but not before creating one of the freshest Nigerian boogie albums ever made. - Peter Moore\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eGimme Some Lovin'    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eGet Up And Dance Salsa    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eJeannie My Love    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThis World Is For No One    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eRock And Roll Birthday    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e6We Need Freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44328526217331,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/R-11120090-1510222589-3587.jpg?v=1771692504","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/baad-john-cross-new-revolution-chapter-one","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
