Neneh Mariann Karlsson (born 10 March 1964), better known as Neneh Cherry, is a Swedish-born singer-songwriter, rapper, and occasional DJ and broadcaster.
Early life and family
Cherry was born as Neneh Karlsson in Stockholm, the daughter of Monica "Moki" Karlsson, a Swedish painter and textile artist, and the musician Ahmadu Jah. Jah was born in Sierra Leone, the son of a chief. He went to Stockholm to study engineering at university.
Cherry's mother married the influential American jazz musician Don Cherry, who helped raise Cherry since birth. Cherry took her stepfather's surname.
Cherry has a half-sister, singer Titiyo, and half-brother, record producer Cherno Jah, from her father Ahmadu Jah's marriage to Maylen Jah (née Bergström). Cherry also has a half-brother, musician Eagle-Eye Cherry, a stepsister, violinist Jan Cherry, and a stepbrother, jazz musician David Ornette Cherry from stepfather Don Cherry's side.
Cherry's parents, Moki and Don Cherry, bought and converted an old schoolhouse in the countryside outside the small town of Hässleholm in Sweden in 1970. In the early 1970s, the family moved to the United States, when Don Cherry taught at Dartmouth College. Cherry dropped out of school at 14 and moved to London.

Raw Like Sushi
Raw Like Sushi is the debut album of singer Neneh Cherry, released 2 May 1989 on Virgin Records.
An early version of "Buffalo Stance" appeared on the B-side of the Morgan McVey single "Looking Good Diving". The single was not successful; however the B-side was re-recorded with Tim Simenon of Bomb the Bass fame and "Buffalo Stance" was born, becoming a worldwide hit reaching #3 in the UK, #3 in the Billboard Hot 100 and even reached #1 for two weeks in the Netherlands. The album also contained the #8 US (and #20 UK) hit "Kisses on the Wind" and the #5 UK hit "Manchild" (did not chart in the US).
The lyrics on the album are sometimes autobiographical, talking about school years. They are also influenced by Neneh's motherhood. Others speak of women allegedly trying to steal a man from another woman. All players and programmers are credited in this album, however Cameron McVey, Cherry's husband, appears as Booga Bear. Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja co-wrote "Manchild", and fellow member Andrew Vowles aka DJ Mushroom performs on "Kisses on the Wind", "The Next Generation" and "So Here I Come". "My Bitch" is a vocal duet with Gilly G.

SASSY
by: Neneh CherrySo sassy...
So sassy...
Fellas got to give me the most respect
Cause you know I don't like to waste my time
So don't give me that
I'm laying down I syzzle slow
I might be tripping but I do my thing
I play the games like monkey in the middle - not -
Piece by piece like a puzzle we come together
Guru...
"You never seen a girl like this before
Because she's so sassy completely secure
Check out the way she walks and talks
She got the force to knock it out the box
Now I know this lady for some time
Yes of course she's fine
The only one of her kind - buss it
The lady has so much pazzaz if you step
To her wrong you're getting played the jazz"
Conversations
Don't say the most
Along the way I've heard some boasting
I roll my dice and take what comes
Numbers, numbers, numbers
As I hang with my chums
I count my lucky days - cause I know when they come
If you're looking for a ride boy watch me run
All the way to China
Or just between peace and man
"On yes she's nifty-hefty
The beat plays on
She's bout to rip the roof from
Dusk to dawn
So when you see lady for must give her props
Keep the champagne floran?
Until the music stop
I'm man of my time she's a woman of hers to
Old fashioned but still stashing a few
New styles for roughneck rude
So I'm gonna stuff it in your face like gourmet food. "
And hooked like a picture and look to the wall
And hanging like Picasso seems so tall
Voluptous I had a choice to be monagomous
Me and my baby forgot to check what day it was
Under the covers kissing the way it was
Freshly squeezed so pure and natural
unique in character and this is factual.
So sassy...
