The stepdaughter of avant-garde trumpet player Don Cherry, Neneh Cherry moved to London aged 14 and quickly entered the post-punk scene, working with the likes of The Slits and Rip Rig + Panic.

Moving away from post-punk sounds with her debut LP Raw Like Sushi, Cherry mixed R&B and rap sensibilities with pop rhythms, producing hit tracks ‘Buffalo Stance’ and ‘Manchild’.

Remastered at Abbey Road, the reissue features demos and remixes, including Massive Attack’s remix of ‘Manchild’, and a 48-page booklet with liner notes, photos and new interviews.

The reissue follows Cherry’s Four Tet-produced LP Broken Politics – one of our favourite albums of 2018.
