Neneh Cherry will reflect on her life and career to date in a new memoir. The artist will share A Thousand Threads on October 3 via Fern Press.
Announced by the artist a day after her 60th birthday (March 10), A Thousand Threads is said to find Cherry celebrating "the power of love and the joy of creativity" in "deeply personal" fashion.
Through its 352 pages, Cherry "remembers the collaborations, the highs and lows, the friendships and loves, and the addictions and traumas that have shaped her as a woman and an artist," per an abstract, while keeping "the extraordinary three generations of artists and musicians" that are her family — including painter, textile artist and mother Monika Karlsson, jazz musician and stepfather Don Cherry (not that Don Cherry), half-brother Eagle-Eye Cherry — close through it all.
A Thousand Threads is now available for pre-order.
Cherry's most recent album is 2022's The Versions, for which she reworked songs from her back catalogue with contributions from Robyn, Anon, Sudan Archives and more.
