Crazy Peoples Right To Speak
About This Album
Kajagoogoo are best remembered for their 1983 new wave hit "Too Shy" and for being teen pinup idols during their short reign at the top of the charts. It all came crashing down when they canned vocalist Limahl the following year and continued as a quartet with bassist Nick Beggs taking over vocal duties. Their first album sans Limahl was the adventurous Islands, a release that saw them moving away from the mainstream and bringing their considerable musical skills to the fore (the album was not released in the States, although many of the tracks ended up on an album called Extra Play, their first official release without the "googoo" in their name). Whether it was due to a change in direction or the loss of Limahl, Islands didn't perform as well as expected and a change was needed again. Out went drummer Jez Strode and the band officially reverted to the shortened Kaja moniker. With Beggs still up front alongside keyboardist Stuart Neale and guitarist Steve Askew, Kaja released Crazy People's Right to Speak in 1985 in hopes that it would allow them a clean break from the past while still retaining a link to their earlier commercial success. With healthy doses of funk, jazz, rock, and pop, Kaja came out with all guns blazing on this album.
