BobaFatt – New Jack Swing Special (31/01/2025)
BobaFatt’s fortnightly Friday night warmer-upper is back to set off your weekend. Tonight, a special show throwing back to the era of New Jack Swing, dedicated to the late Barry Michael Cooper.
In 1987, Barry wrote an article for The Village Voice about producer Teddy Riley, where he first coined the phrase ‘New Jack Swing’. A hybrid sound of street soul, hip hop and rnb. In the UK it was called ‘Swingbeat’ for a spell.
