Neneh Cherry – A Thousand Threads to be published 29 May 2025

Top 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 vivid memoir, Cherry remembers 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. 

Neneh Cherry is a Swedish singer-songwriter, rapper and producer who first achieved global success, in 1988, with ‘Buffalo Stance’, her sound a groundbreaking mix of music genres. She has released six critically acclaimed studio albums and won two Brit Awards, a MTV Europe Music Award and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. She has collaborated with artists including Peter Gabriel, Cher, Four Tet and Gorillaz. Her most recent album, The Versions, consisting of reworked songs from her back catalogue and featuring SIA, Robyn and others, was released in 2022.
