Neneh Cherry

Neneh Mariann Cherry née Neneh Mariann Karlsson

Born 10 March 1964, Stockholm, Sweden. Step-daughter of jazz trumpeter [a=Don Cherry]. Cherry joined English post-punk band Rip Rig & Panic in 1981 as a vocalist, later performing with several ex-members of that band as Float Up CP. In the mid-80s she sang backing vocals for the Slits and [a=The The] ("Slow Train To Dawn", 1987). In 1988, Cherry recorded the international hit single "Buffalo Stance" Her debut Raw Like Sushi"s eclectic blend of hip-hop rhythms and pop melodies earned Cherry excellent reviews and sizeable sales figures. In 1990, Cherry contributed to the AIDS-charity collection, Red Hot And Blue, singing Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin", but was quiet again until the release of Homebrew in 1992. Cherry reasserted herself as a commercial force in 1994 with the international hit single "Seven Seconds", which saw her collaborating with Senegalese superstar [a=Youssou N'Dour]. After another lengthy recording hiatus she released the album Man in 1996 which featured her last big hit single Woman. Neneh is the half-sister of singer [a=Eagle-Eye Cherry] (same mother and Don Cherry was her stepfather) and Swedish pop star [a=Titiyo] (same father [a=Ahmadu Jarr]).
