Neneh Cherry Artist Snapshot:

Daughter of jazz trumpeter Don and older sister of singer/songwriter Eagle Eye, Swedish-born singer Neneh Cherry first recorded as part of Rip, Rig and Panic, a challenging British avant-jazz-funk band of the early '80s. When that group dissolved, Cherry and several other members reorganized as Float Up CP, releasing one album in 1985. Three years later, Cherry reinvented herself with the far more commercial, yet still adventurous, solo debut RAW LIKE SUSHI. Her fearless combination of rap, pop, jazz and sexual forthrightness was a critical and commercial success, but after one more album, 1992's HOMEBREW, Cherry apparently retired from music.

Review

Rolling Stone (11/26/92, p.69) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a stylistic breakthrough...holds a stash of subtly addictive pleasures...Neneh Cherry is her own volatile creation..."
Spin (12/92, p.68) - Ranked #6 in Spin's list of the 20 Best Albums Of The Year - "...HOMEBREW is the product of an effortless talent at the top of her game..."
Spin (11/92, p.113) - Recommended
Entertainment Weekly (1/7/93, p.123) - Ranked #3 in Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 10 Albums Of 1992 - "...a swirl of hazy, ambient ballads and subtly rhythmic jazz-hop..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/30/92, p.82) - "...Cherry's voice easily glides from supple notes to seamless rapping...what makes HOMEBREW a logical sequel to RAW LIKE SUSHI is its heightened sense of confidence...may be the most hopeful pop of the year..." - Rating: B+
Q (1/93, p.70) - Included in Q's list of the 50 Best Albums Of 1992.
Q (11/92, p.100) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...HOMEBREW is well worth the wait...an engagingly natural and gloriously creative musical mix of hip-hop beats and jazz...it's that kind of vivid, powerful experience that makes you wonder if everybody shouldn't take 3 years between records..."
CMJ (11/23/99, p.27) - "....HOMEBREW'S clever, attitude-thick mix of streetwise hip-hop, space age R&B and ambient grooves not only holds up to anything of its kind out today, but also blows the majority of chump-change trip-hop acts clear out of the water..."
Musician (12/92, p.96) - "...Where RAW LIKE SUSHI seemed to walk the line between rap, rock, and R&B, HOMEBREW obliterates such boundaries...the music plays by no rules but Cherry's own..."
Village Voice (3/2/93, p.5) - Ranked #13 in the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums Of 1992.
Village Voice (3/9/93, p.80) - "...where the lithe beats and uncorny sonics flesh out the concept and jolt every track, the lyrics settle for honest..." - Rating: B+
Stereo Review (3/93, p.81) - "...exhilaratingly combines elements of rock, rap, jazz, R&B, and even beat poetry...HOMEBREW is more than just exciting, fresh music. It's a balm to the soul..."
Audio Magazine (3/93, p.88) - "...Though not as hip-hopped as RAW LIKE SUSHI, this album is more natural, more mature, and ultimately better..."

Title Note

Producers include: Jonny Dollar, Neneh Cherry, Booga Bear.

Recorded at Cherry Bear Studios, Orinoco, London, England; Grapehouse, Copenhagen, Denmark; Powerplay Studios, New York, New York.

Cherry's follow-up to her breakthrough RAW LIKE SUSHI is a fabulously inventive aural collage of jazz riffs, pop hooks, and hip-hop beats that manages to make room for R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe on vocals. Highpoints in HOMEBREW's uniformly strong program include the irresistibly bubbly "Buddy X," as well as "Trout," a sort of space-age blues song anchored by--of all things--a sample from the first Steppenwolf album. A knockout.
