▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ There are artists who achieve success ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ and are satisfied to spend the rest of ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ their careers repeating the formula. And ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ there are those like Eagle-Eye Cherry ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ who seek to come up with something ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ creatively fresh each and every time. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Combining his most mature set of songs ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ to date with the most widescreen ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ production of his career, Cherry's third ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ album, Sub Rosa, finds him expanding ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ the boundaries of his artistry and ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ boldly challenging our preconceptions. ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ "I'd hesitate to say there's been a ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ master plan," he says. "But you can ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ definitely trace a journey through my ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ records. If there's a theme to Sub Rosa ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ it's asking 'what road are we going ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ down?' It's a cynical world and people ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ don't want to be preached at. But ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ there are a lot of questions that need ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ to be asked right now." ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Sub Rosa comes on the back of ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Eagle-Eye's first real break in five ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ years, following the hectic schedule ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ that engulfed him after his 1998 ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ breakthrough hit, "Save Tonight". The ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ time off gave him the opportunity to ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ take stock personally and to take a ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ look around at the much-changed world in ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ which we now live. ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ "I got back home in early 2002 and was ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ able to sort through a lot of stuff," ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ he explains. "On the road you live in a ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ bubble and you have to put a lot of ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ things on the back-burner and decide to ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ deal with them later. I needed to take a ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ break and to clear out the closet." ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ The result is a collection of songs that ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ are still highly personal but are also ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ full of acute observation of the world ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ around us. "Quite a few of the songs ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ like 'Be Like That' and 'How Come' ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ touch on the question of where we're ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ headed," he says. "There's some despair ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ at what's happening in the world right ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ now. But there's optimism in there, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ too. With a song like 'Don't Give Up', I ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ wanted to send out a message, like "Give ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ Peace A Chance". It's saying 'there's ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ always hope'. You can apply that in ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ different ways. It would be fun to ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ imagine a crowd at a soccer match ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ singing it when their team is losing, ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ for example. " ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Sub Rosa is also an album of stories, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ peopled by interesting characters. "The ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ Strange", for example, was written one day ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ in New York, just sitting in Central ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Park and people watching. "Skull ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Tattoo" has a similar inspiration. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ "People have asked me who the woman is ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ in that song," Eagle-Eye says. "But she ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ was just someone I saw on the street." ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Then there is "Twisted Games", in which ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ the first verse is about a child who ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ becomes a pyromaniac and the second verse ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ is about a boy obsessed with guns. "I ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ like the idea of the songwriter as ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ storyteller. On a lot of these songs ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ I've stepped outside myself," he says. ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ The album was written both on the road ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ while touring Living In The Present ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Future and in Cherrys New York ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ apartment. Inevitably the events of 11th ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ September 2001 and its aftermath -- a ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ world-changing drama that is still being ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ played out -- have coloured his ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ approach. "It's not an album about ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ that because many of the songs were ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ already in progress before then," he ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ explains. "But I was hit by the reality ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ of the world we live in. I was in Los ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Angeles on that day and got stranded ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ there. The world is a very weird place ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ right now and of course that has ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ influenced me as a human being and as a ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ songwriter." ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ As we have come to expect from ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Eagle-Eye Cherry, Sub Rosa brims with ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ memorable melodies and irresistible ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ hooks. But it also sounds subtly ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ different from anything we've heard ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ from him before. "I think I've kept the ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ songwriting focus," he says. "But I've ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ always been fascinated by technology and ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ sampling and I knew I wanted one day to ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ work in that vein. So on this record I ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ thought about the production a lot ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ more. In the past I found solace in ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ songwriting with simple parameters. This ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ time the sound is definitely bigger and ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ more panoramic." ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ To assist in this process, he recruited ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ producer Al Stone (Bjrk and Jamiroquai). ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ On This Paralysis, Dont Give Up, and ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ The Food Song he also teamed up with ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Cameron McVey, husband and producer of ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ his sister, Neneh Cherry, while Crashing ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Down and Feels So Right were produced by ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ John Kurzweg (Jewel, Puddle of Mud, ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Creed) and How Come was produced by Tim ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ Simenon (Massive Attack, Bjrk, Depeche ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ Mode).Yet he was also determined that ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ despite the bigger production, Sub Rosa ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ should maintain a spontaneous warmth. ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Its got an organic base from demo-ing ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ the songs in my apartment, Eagle-Eye ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ explains. Things happen in that ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ environment that are very causal and ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ natural. With a laptop you can get them ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ down and a lot of that ended up on the ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ record. Then we built it up from there ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ in the studio and combined technology with ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ the live thing. ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ The title, too, reflects the records ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ roots. "Sub Rosa" -- 'under the rose' ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ -- is when something is said in secret; ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ behind closed doors; on the down low. ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ Sometimes when I listen to music, ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ especially on headphones, it can feel ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ like that... its just the music and me," ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ explains Eagle-Eye. ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Born in Sweden in 1971, while growing ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ up Eagle-Eye and older sister Neneh ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Cherry spent months on the road with ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ their father, the trumpeter Don Cherry, ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ acquiring an early taste for tour buses ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ and the nomadic lifestyle of working ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ musicians. At the age of 12, he was ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ sent to school in New York, where he ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ stayed on to work as an actor and a ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ drummer in various bands. It was not ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ until 1996 that he returned to Sweden ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ to begin writing and making his debut ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ album, Desireless, at the relatively ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ late age of 26. ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ A collection of highly personal ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ compositions, on its release in 1998, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ Desireless announced the arrival of an ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ important new contemporary ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ singer-songwriter. "There was a certain ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ amount of therapy on that record and I ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ wanted to go back to basics and make ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ it simple with acoustic guitars and ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ stuff," he says. Propelled by the hit ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ single "Save Tonight", the album went ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ platinum all over the world. ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ The second album, 2000's Rick ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Rubin-produced Living In The Present ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ Future was made on the back of his ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ phenomenal success and reflected the ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ speed at which his life was moving. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ "We finished up two and a half years ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ of touring and then without pausing for ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ breath went straight in the studio and ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ recorded more or less live. It was a ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ very spontaneous album." It repeated ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ the success of its predecessor. In ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ between came a guest appearance on ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ Santana's multi-Grammy winning, ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ multi-platinum album Supernatural. ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Now comes Eagle-Eye Cherry's finest ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ album to date. "If you asked me on the ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ first two records who I'd like to be ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ compared to, I'd have said Neil Young or ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Tom Petty," he admits. ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ "But if you asked me the same question on ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ this record, I'd have to say that I ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ don't know. That's exciting. I feel I ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ understand the craft of songwriting ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ much better now and I know what I want. ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ It's almost like the first two albums ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
