‘Seductive . . . Intoxicating’ SUNDAY TIMES’Thrums with life’ GUARDIAN’I loved it’ ZADIE SMITHA GUARDIAN MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2024A BBC CULTURE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2024A joyous and electric memoir by the music legend and icon Neneh CherryTop of the Pops, December 1988. The world sat up as a young woman made her debut: gold bra, gold bomber jacket, and proudly, gloriously, seven months pregnant. This was no ordinary artist. This was Neneh Cherry.

But navigating fame and family wasn’t always simple. 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.

Musician. Songwriter. Collaborator. Activist. Mother. Daughter. Lover. Friend. Icon. This is her story.
