"Oh Louise" is a single by British artist Junior, initially released as part of his third studio album, Acquired Taste, in 1985.
The song was reissued in 1986, where it gained more success, becoming a top 15 hit on the R&B charts.
Oh Louise has been credited by some music critics, as well as Teddy Riley and Lenny White, as one of the early precursors to the New Jack Swing genre.
While New Jack Swing became more widely recognized in the late 1980s, the song's fusion of R&B, soul, and upbeat, syncopated rhythms helped lay the groundwork for what would later be popularized by artists like Teddy Riley and Lenny White.
Junior's incorporation of danceable grooves with soulful vocals showcased an emerging sound that would eventually define the New Jack Swing movement.
