Neneh Cherry has announced a new album,
For 'Broken Politics' the vocalist has once again teamed up with Four Tet, who she also worked with on her last solo LP, 2014's 'Blank Project'. The new record will arrive on October 19.
We've already heard its first single, Kong. Head below to check out the second, Shot Gun Shack. It is a stripped back affair, with Cherry's lines being delivered with a blended vocal approach that is part melodic and part spoken word.
In a statement about the song and album, Cherry said:
"Broken Politics is about these extraordinary times we live in. Telling the stories of what people everywhere endure, because we are left misheard, misunderstood, and disillusioned. It is about feeling broken, disappointed, and sad, but having perseverance. It's a fight against the extinction of free thought and spirit.
Thank you to my husband Cameron Mcvey and old friend Karl Berger and 3D Massive Attack whose collaborations are a huge part of the album....Recently I found out that a shotgun shack is an apartment where you can shoot from one end to the other. Gun disaster and its wasted lives are a modern-day tragedy. Inner city communities where living past 25 is a miracle, and I had to talk about that. Bring some humanity back into this crazy world.
