Music icon Neneh Cherry discusses her memoir, a kaleidoscopic story celebrating love, family and the joy of creativity – and a call to arms to own your journey.
In this beautiful and deeply personal memoir, Cherry remembers the collaborations, the highs and lows, the friendships and loves, and the addictions and traumas that have shaped her as a woman and an artist.
At the heart of it, always, is family: the extraordinary three generations of artists and musicians that are her inheritance and her legacy.
Neneh Cherry is a Swedish singer-songwriter, rapper and producer who first achieved global success in 1988 with ‘Buffalo Stance’. She has released six critically acclaimed studio albums and won two Brit Awards, an MTV Europe Music Award and has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
She has collaborated with artists including Peter Gabriel, Cher, Four Tet and Gorillaz. Her most recent album, The Versions, consisting of reworked songs from her back catalogue and featuring SIA, Robyn and others, was released in 2022.
