Description

How do we conduct ourselves in extraordinary times? By what metric do we judge our own capacity to make change? In an era where the signal-to-noise ratio is more uneven than ever, what are the measures we must take to retain and remember our own personhood? Neneh Cherrys extraordinary fifth solo album, Broken Politics (produced by Kieran Hebden), asks these questions and moresearching for answers, patiently and with great care, and with a fearlessness to acknowledge that sometimes the answers dont even exist. Its a record thats equal parts angry, thoughtful, melancholy, and emboldening, as Cherry and her collaborators (Massive Attacks 3D, Cameron McVey) continue to expand her ever-widening sonic palette to craft truly singular and potent electronic pop.
