Neneh Cherry


_Sweet Willie_

Recommended Posts

Some cool tracks in the past (early 90s in particular).

 

I especially enjoyed some of her collaborative work -- the track w/ Michael Stipe about sex education (name escapes me at the moment) and her track on Red Hot and Blue ("i've got u under my skin" Cole Porter cover).

 

I may have to do a little Googling, but anyone know what her story is these days?

 

I also just wanted to throw open an opportunity to discuss her music.

 

Peace.

Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.

Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

The only thing I know aboot Neneh Cherry is:

"Buffalo Stance" is STILL my wifes all time favorite song.

and

Her brother (Eagle Eye Cherry) had a hit. I think it was called "Save Tonight"

and

Neneh will almost definitely appear on HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME.

Since Neneh is half Swedish, I though that I´d make a quick search up here.

 

At least she´s still giggin´ even though not so much in the national media:

Her sister Titiyo is getting more attention, and the last of the Cherry CD´s I´ve bought says Titiyo on it. If you don´t know her yet:

When it comes to international success of Swedish artists, Neneh is right there with Roxette, Ace of Bass, Abba, Cardigans, Yngwie Malmsteen and Europe.

What ever...

Sorry for bombing this thread. I promise I´ll stop... Just in case some of the younger readers need some guidance to how Neneh might sound, here´s a direct link to an audio file.

 

As for keeping it within the bass-topics of this forum, the bassplaying in this song is for my taste basic, yet pleasant, with some moments that are very enjoyable.

Thanks on the link, Swed_ - I'd read that before in downBeat or somewhere. Tomorrow I'll spin up some HOMEBREW and get hooked up with the schtuff. I used to have RAW LIKE SUSHI too but it disappeared. I understand that MAN ditches the rap and goes more rock yet...
