Since releasing The Cherry Thing with jazz collective The Thing in 2012 (listen here), an album of covers that sort to defy musical conventions by interconnecting different genres. The natural progression for Neneh Cherry is her long awaited solo project (her last solo release was in 1996; so it more than time)! Neneh‘s expansive and pioneering musical background fuels this new album Blank Project that is set to release February 26th on Smalltown Supersound label. It sounds like nothing we’ve heard from her in the past; highly poetic, musically sparse, fluid drums, and raw vocals filled with vulnerability and soul. Blank Project has a collaboration with RocketNumberNine (London brothers, Tom & Ben Page) and is produced by Four Tet, with a guest appearance by Swedish singer Robyn. Check out “Everything” below, then head over to Amazon | iTunes to pre-order.
