Neneh Cherry is a Swedish singer born on March 10, 1964, in Stockholm. She started her career as a vocalist for the English post-punk band Rip Rig + Panic and later formed the group Float Up CP with former band members. In the mid-80s, she lent her vocals to artists such as The The and Neneh Cherry & The Circuit. 

In 1988, Cherry gained international fame with her hit single "Buffalo Stance" from her debut album Raw Like Sushi. This album showcased her unique blend of hip-hop rhythms and pop melodies, earning critical acclaim and impressive sales figures.

Throughout her career, Cherry has collaborated with various artists including Senegalese superstar Youssou N'Dour on the chart-topping single "Seven Seconds." Her album Man released in 1996 featured another successful single titled "Woman."

Born into a musical family, Cherry is the daughter of Ahmadu Jarr and Moki Cherry. She is also the step-daughter of jazz trumpeter Don Cherry and half-sister to singer Eagle-Eye Cherry and Swedish pop star Titiyo. With Bruce Smith, she has a daughter named Naima Karlsson. Currently married to Cameron McVey, she is the mother of Mabel McVey and Lolita Moon while also being a step-mom to Marlon Roudette.

Neneh Cherry's album Broken Politics. Available here on Standard Black LP and Standard CD.

How do we conduct ourselves in extraordinary times? By what metric do we judge our own capacity to make change? In an era where the signal-to-noise ratio is more uneven than ever, what are the measures we must take to retain and remember our own personhood? Neneh Cherry's extraordinary fifth solo album, Broken Politics, asks these questions and more-searching for answers, patiently and with great care, and with a fearlessness to acknowledge that sometimes the answers don't even exist. It's a record that's equal parts angry, thoughtful, melancholy, and emboldening, as Cherry and her collaborators continue to expand her ever-widening sonic palette to craft truly singular and potent electronic pop.
