Release Notes:
Neneh Cherry, daughter of late celebrated Jazz trumpeter & innovative world
musician Don Cherry and Swedish artist Moki Cherry, sister of singer/songwriter
and Carlos Santana collaborator Eagle-Eye Cherry.
First attracted attention via a collaboration with all girl punk group 'The
Slits'. She went on to sing lead with avantguard Jazz Punk groups æRip Rig &
Panic' and 'Float up CP'. She sang lead on the classic 'The The' hit 'Slow train
to dawn' then went solo for the first time (as the first lady of legendary Ray
Petri's creative organisation "Buffalo") with the hits 'Buffalo stance',
'Manchild' and 'Inna city mamma' from her first album 'Raw like Sushi' during
which she made pop history by appearing seven months pregnant on 'Top of the
Pops'.
While promoting 'Raw like Sushi' Cherry met legendary Bristol trip hop group
'Massive attack' and collaborated with them on their classic first album 'Blue
lines' to eventually help bring them to the world's attention via her production
company 'The Cherry Bear organisation' (Cherry's company also spawned the first
'Portishead' album 'Dummy').
Neneh then had a world wide smash with the song '7 seconds' which she wrote and
sang with Senegalese singer 'Youssou NÆDour' and later the torch song which made
Neneh Cherry a positive roll model for all women everywhere 'Woman' (recorded in
both English & Spanish).
After '7 seconds' Neneh retreated from the spotlight for a while to concentrate
on her family; but has eased back into the swing of things of late by DJ'ing all
over the world playing a carefully selected blend of new & old urban & eclectic
music as part of the "Jugula sessions" team, recording with Groove Armada and
Gorillaz and, probably more significantly, by joining the group CirKus whoÆs
forthcoming first album 'Laylow' will be released early in 2006 during the rest
of which Cherry and the rest of cirKus will be touring to support the record.
There is also a good chance that the first single from Cherry's 4th solo album
will be released at the very end of 2006 with the album itself to drop in early
2007.
Neneh has been tirelessly supportive of the UN and it's work to try and
irradicate Malaria from the African continent, work with and support those with
Aids and pursued the west to ease their debt collection policies towards the
third world in general. To this end she has recently started a second
collaboration with UN ambassador Youssou N'Dour which will, hopefully, bear
fruit in the form of a full album dedicated to raising awareness of both the
negative and positive sides of Africa.
