Hip hopJazzTrip hop

Neneh Cherry is a Hip hop and Jazz act. Their catalogue also touches Trip hop. Their sound grew out of Kleerup, Ari Up, Bomb the Bass, Greentea Peng and James Lavelle. Those roots explain a lot about how Neneh Cherry arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Lisa Stansfield, Terence Trent D'Arby, En Vogue, Kim Wilde and Prince and the New Power Generation, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Cockiness, My Humps, Agoria, Lily Allen and Massive Attack, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 57 connections around Neneh Cherry, reaching back through Kleerup and forward to Cockiness.
