Comment:

There was plenty of cross-pollination within the ranks of the New Romantics, which is why you'll find common threads across a fairly disparate array of styles. Gary Numan ("Are 'Friends' Electric?") affected a look of po-faced androgyny that owed a debt to David Bowie ("Boys Keep Swinging"), while a more cheerful vein of pop links the chirpy tunes of Altered Images ("Happy Birthday") and King ("Love & Pride"). And while the New Romantic movement was primarily a British phenomenon, New Orleans' Red Rockers snuck in at the fringes with their dreamy evocation of "China," which peaked at #53 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983.
