it's credited to both neneh and the thing equally

yeah I realize that, it just sounds like a Thing album with vocals to me

probably depends on whether you're more a fan of one vs. the other. sounds like a neneh cherry album with jazz backing to me.

It's not "her" new album, it's an album by The Thing with her as guest vocalist.
the aggressiveness of your ownership claim on their behalf (over "her") is weird tho

same, though i'm sure this is because i've been a neneh cherry fan for my entire life, pretty much, and had never heard of the thing before this year. but even so i can't see how you can't hear her personality stamped all over it.

THEIR new album then, anagram.
Either way, it's hot. :)

i am generally in favor of out music finding a way in. the thing is not really all that far out there, but i imagine that people think they are (or don't even want to give them a chance), and now that they've heard the thing as n cherry's backup band they might be more likely to consider listening to other stuff they've done. good for the thing!

i've said this elsewhere but i'm really looking fwd to properly getting into jazz when i'm too old to go clubbing. and i LOVE what the thing do on this album, i love how their music and neneh's vocals mirror each other w/r/t the wildness/control tension.
i suspect la lechera intended to write "our" but i like the idea of "out" as an abbrev of "outré"

i always want to think that she's saying "harmolodics" at the beginning of buffalo stance.

no, i totally meant out music -- music that is not in! it's out there. :)
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Wednesday, 25 July 2012 14:33 (9 months ago) Permalink
No, I'm sure she meant "out" as in "way out"
xxp!

"Kisses on the Wind" is SO FUCKING GOOD!!!

I have never heard this before!!
I said on fb that the super bring piano reminds me of something you'd hear in a really euphoric 15 second outro, except it's all over the whole song.

The only other track better than "Kisses on the Wind" is "Heart" ("Buffalo Stance" is a world apart).

xp it was never that big over here! She's kinda regarded as a one-hit wonder for "Buffalo Stance". I only heard "Kisses" it when I took the time to listen to Raw Like Sushi on Spotify last night.

"Kisses" went top ten in America, but it's true I never hear it.

fcuking jamie oliver seems to have adopted this as his theme tune now, a delete from playlist moment if there ever was one...

The "Kisses on the Wind" single is worth getting if you like it. It has an extended version of the tune, a nice Latin house remix of it by David Morales, plus a semi-acoustic non-album B side.

Damn. Raw Like Sushi is magnificent. I don't think I've heard it for about 20 years but it sounds great this afternoon. I don't think its acknowledged as a "great album" (wtf is that/rockist etc?) but why not? All kinds of beautiful Madonna/psb/Public Enemy awesome all over it. Cherry is so charismatic and I love her. Very very much. Gonna check out Homebrew now - never heard it.
