Album Notes
Producers include: Jonny Dollar, Neneh Cherry, Booga Bear.
Recorded at Cherry Bear Studios, Orinoco, London, England; Grapehouse, Copenhagen, Denmark; Powerplay Studios, New York, New York.
Cherry's follow-up to her breakthrough RAW LIKE SUSHI is a fabulously inventive aural collage of jazz riffs, pop hooks, and hip-hop beats that manages to make room for R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe on vocals. Highpoints in HOMEBREW's uniformly strong program include the irresistibly bubbly "Buddy X," as well as "Trout," a sort of space-age blues song anchored by--of all things--a sample from the first Steppenwolf album. A knockout.

4 Stars - Excellent - ...HOMEBREW is well worth the wait...an engagingly natural and gloriously creative musical mix of hip-hop beats and jazz...it's that kind of vivid, powerful experience that makes you wonder if everybody shouldn't take 3 years between records...
Q (11/01/1992)
...where the lithe beats and uncorny sonics flesh out the concept and jolt every track, the lyrics settle for honest... - Rating: B+
Village Voice (03/09/1993)
...Cherry's voice easily glides from supple notes to seamless rapping...what makes HOMEBREW a logical sequel to RAW LIKE SUSHI is its heightened sense of confidence...may be the most hopeful pop of the year... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (10/30/1992)
...Where RAW LIKE SUSHI seemed to walk the line between rap, rock, and R&B, HOMEBREW obliterates such boundaries...the music plays by no rules but Cherry's own...

Stereo Review (03/01/1993)
...Though not as hip-hopped as RAW LIKE SUSHI, this album is more natural, more mature, and ultimately better...
Audio Magazine (03/01/1993)
....HOMEBREW'S clever, attitude-thick mix of streetwise hip-hop, space age R&B and ambient grooves not only holds up to anything of its kind out today, but also blows the majority of chump-change trip-hop acts clear out of the water...
CMJ (11/23/1999)
...exhilaratingly combines elements of rock, rap, jazz, R&B, and even beat poetry...HOMEBREW is more than just exciting, fresh music. It's a balm to the soul...
