Eyes on The Prize, Unity - Olympic CD Release

Rumour Alert!!! Can't confirm nor deny (I tried) a rumour that Neneh will perfrom at the opening events of the Athens Olympics this summer. But of course we can't rule anything out.

Groove Armada recruit Neneh Cherry
Groove Armada have invited Neneh Cherry to sing on two tracks on their next album. They describe the follow-up to Goodbye Country Hello Nightclub as "very vocal and quite rock and roll." The DJ duo hope to get Norman Cook involved in producing the album, which is expected to be released in October. It also includes collaborations with Sunshine Anderson and Ritchie Havens, as well as samples from tracks by Status Quo and Eddie Grant. Groove Armada's Andy Cato told Ananova: "It's quite rock and roll, quite guitary - a bit more leather jackets and Saturday night. "We enjoyed making this album the most. This one has been brief and that's been testament to the fact that we've enjoyed ourselves. Creativity has come more easy. "There's a number of songs in the running for the first single but it's likely to be between tracks called Madder, But I Feel Good and one of Neneh Cherry's songs called Think Twice."

Carl Cox & Neneh: New Release

Carl Cox is asking fans to help him decide on a name for his third album. The DJ is collaborating with Neneh Cherry, Fatboy Slim and Erick Morillo for the new project. The new album will be released early next year. Cox has posted a message on his official website asking fans to email him with suggestions for its title. He says it is the right time to work with other DJs. "I’ve done some tracks already that Neneh Cherry’s been really interested in singing on. These are more housey-oriented; we sent them to Neneh and she came back loving them and said that it reminded her of being on the Space terrace. She really seems to understand what I’m doing." "I like to think that my last two albums have been original works but the time is now right to get together and collaborate with others, using what made all of them famous and the sound that I bring to the table too," he says.

Dead Bolt Dead opened in London in November 2000. The film's distributors are now seeking a North American open sometime this Spring. The film's synopsis says, "It's a dark thriller with a very wry sense of humour that focuses on the need to keep talking when staring down the barrel of a gun". Has anyone seen this soundtrack around?

Neneh's sister Titiyo has released her 4th cd this past month. This is Titiyo's 4th cd. The first track "Come Along" is charting high in parts of Europe. The following is an note from her record company website.
Titiyo is back with a new, rawer sound on her album "Come along". By choosing to work with the musical brains behind the Cardigans (Peter Svensson) and Kent (Jocke Berg), she's found some fantastic material and production. The first single "Come along" is a great example, with a Cardigans-like guitar riff and sensual hook. There are also a couple of lovely slower tracks, "Last time" and "Love has left your eye".
Titiyo comes, as they say, from a musical family. Her father, from Sierra Leone, is a percussionist, her mother a dance teacher (who plays piano solo on one track, "Make My Day"). It was sister Neneh Cherry who first persuaded her to take her singing seriously. Everyone else certainly does. Critics say things like; "her take on the melancholic Swedish soul is unique" ... "Titiyo is an awesome singer" ... "she is braver, stronger and more sophisticated than her American colleagues" (really????). Sweden's soul queen

The stars have been assembled by One Giant Leap, a duo comprising Faithless founder member Jamie Catto and producer Duncan Bridgeman, who spent over a year traversing the globe to put together the stellar cast. Catto and Bridgeman laid down the backing tracks for the album before they set off on the trip and simply asked those they encountered en route to add a contribution. The pair also shot hours of film footage on their trip. They intend to distil it all into a 12-chapter film and album, each chapter exploring a different grandly-titled theme, for instance 'Masks & Roles' and 'The Shadow & Inspiration'. Also involved are big name actors Meryl Streep, Dennis Hopper and arvey Keitel.

The following is a note I received from Jada in London. I'm passing this on cause it's really nice.

I've justed heard some really interesting news. Eagle Eye's cd was released a long tim ago, but most of us haven't seen it. It's not been released in the US. If you recall the first single came out March 10, 2000. The reason for the delay is that Eagle Eye has had to change record companies!! Strangely enough the same thing happened to Neneh's last cd. After a whole cd was recorded she changed record labels and as of now hasn't put out a new cd in 4 years. They're both managed by the same guy. Maybe the tour dates are still valid but I don't really know. No, I'm not turning this into an Eagle Eye Page it's just that this past year the two have been so inseparable, the only way to post anything on Neneh I had to go through the Eagle Eye Connections.
April 3, 2001
A set of tour dates have been released for Eagle Eye Cherry. These concert dates are covering all parts of Europe and the tour will go on for the next 4 or 5 months. I've written Eagle Eye's record company to ask if Neneh is appearing with Eagle Eye on the tour but they haven't said anything yet. If the tour swings through a city near you. It might be worth seeing. No release date for the new cd has been set yet for the United States. Tour Dates
January 12, 2001
Neneh has completed a short tour through Europe with Eagle Eye that ended in December 2000. The next leg of the tour will be the States. Eagle Eye's record company has comfirmed that the new cd will be released in the states in early March. The first single has been declared yet and they didn't say whether Neneh would appear with him. In March of last year the European release date of Eagle Eye's cd coincided with Neneh's birthday. A huge party was held in London to celebrate the Big Day for the 2 of them. She turned 36 last March 3 and Eagle Eye marched out his 2nd cd. So like maybe the new cd will be launched in the states on this date as well? Tony Manzi is managing both the singers so maybe we'll see Neneh's solo work again soon. Stay tuned!!!
September 29, 2000
Neneh has filmed a video with Eagle Eye Cherry for the single Long Way Home. The video was shot in London on August 2-3 by filmmaker NIck Gordon. Anton Corbjin also did a photo shoot with Neneh and Eagle Eye for the cover of the single, which, so far, has been released in Japan and Europe. The American release may be first of the year.

Titiyo has also been working with Producer Quincy Jones, III on a few cuts. (Do all the children of famous musicians know each other?) No mention of whether Neneh lends vocals.All work was done at the Tambourime Studios is Sweden. This cd is a widely anticipated release since Titiyo's last cd in 1997 received two Swedish Grammy Awards.

August 25, 2000
Neneh's old home in the Willesden section of London was put on the market earlier a couple of month's ago. The novel writer who is currently living in the house is selling the home. One of the main attractions is the recording studio Neneh and Cameron built all those years ago. Their home recording studio is still intact. This is the famous Cherry/Bear studio where Homebrew was recorded. Massive Attact and Portishead and Shara Nelson have all recorded in this home studio. If you have a few thousand pounds in your pocket ... go buy a house.


August 17, 2000
David Ornette Cherry, Neneh's other brother, has just released his debut cd. David is the son of the late Don Cherry. While David's siblings Neneh, Eagle and Titiyo have chosen pop music, David has chosen to follow Don's traditional path into something very deep and edgy with his new cd The End of the Century On the Tonga Label. David is keyboardist whose music combines verse and a variety of ethnic musical expressions (just like Don). Also guest starring on the cd is Jan Cherry (another sister) who's a violinist. for further information on this cd please contact David at docherry@earthlink.net
August 15, 2000
Neneh was once and briefly a member of the punk rock girl group The Slits. A Cd has just been released as the Best of the Slits and Neneh appears on one song. Neneh joined the band at the age of 16 and recorded several songs with the band before the band broke up. Most of the material Neneh recorded with the band has never been released.
August 8, 2000
Pop Up Video, the VH-1 program, will be featuring Neneh's video Buffalo Stance on a show premiering August 8th. The theme of the show is One Hit Wonders. This is soooo not right. Yeah Neneh has had one hit in the US. But she has had tremendous success with 7 Seconds and a slew of other hits. Earlier this year the DreemTeem mixed Buddy X and Neneh was back in the top of the charts peaking at No. 2 back in March. Obviuosly it sucks when a performer like Neneh isn't released in this country. We get obnoxious programs like this.

July 4, 2000
Neneh has a new single release in London. Okay it's an Eagle Eye Cherry release, but really "who's the real singer in the family?" The video is currently running on MTV Europe.
June 2000
Don't know how true this is but, ANYWAY... Last year in October 1999 Neneh was scheduled to record a single with Sheryl Crow. The two met in 1997 while playing the same show in Germany. Anyway Neneh recorded a song with Akasha earlier in the year. The song was Sweet Child of Mine. Neneh's version, though it was very good, was released in some markets but didn't really see the light of day. Anyway, along comes Sheryl Crow and sings the same song. The coincidence of Sheryl Crow covering the same song as Neneh is remote. Soon after Sheryl's version was recorded the scheduled date of the duet was canceled. Sheryl's version sounds a bit like Neneh's. Sheryl went on win a Grammy for the version she released.
May 25,2000
Neneh is appearing at a few venues across Europe with Eagle Eye. Eagle Eye is on the first leg of the new tour to promote his new cd.

Dury was the lead singer and founder of the early punk group The Blockheads. Neneh's performances and well placed music collaborations are looking like the beginning of a campaign to promote her forthcoming cd which hasn't been given a release date. The unreleased cd was finished a while ago but stil remains unavailable.
