Neneh Cherry: "Broken Politics"


A message from Neneh Cherry!
New album is ready:


So excited to announce that my new album Broken Politics made together with Four Tet is out Oct 19th. The second single 'Shot Gun Shack' is also out now.

Broken Politics is about these extraordinary times we live in. Telling the stories of what people everywhere endure, because we are left misheard, misunderstood, and disillusioned. It is about feeling broken, disappointed, and sad, but having perseverance. It's a fight against the extinction of free thought and spirit. 
Thank you to my husband Cameron Mcvey and old friend Karl Berger and 3D Massive Attack whose collaborations are a huge part of the album....
Recently I found out that a shotgun shack is an apartment where you can shoot from one end to the other. Gun disaster and its wasted lives are a modern-day tragedy. Inner city communities where living past 25 is a miracle, and I had to talk about that. Bring some humanity back into this crazy world.

Lyrics:
Just fun and games took my name in vain Nothing is the same Just another day now fun and playgrounds bend the rules now know the rules now play the rules now it's institutional resolutions lack of direction intersections Pick up a gun you know you gonna use it Know that gun its gonna get loaded say my name before you pull it Too late you know just took that bullet Looking front to back through the shot gun shack You reside too slow to run fast run fast Catching up with you too slow to move it's gonna get you the playground rules You can't cry now Don't even try nowhere you can turn you can't even run away 2 can cry now don't even try to ride you can hide now you can even turn away the shot gun living in a shot gun shack in the back living in a shot gun shack in the back living with a shotgun living in a shot gun shack living in a shot gun shack living in the back living with a shot gun living with a gun living with your back to the wall Pick up a gun you know you gonna use it Know that gun its gonna get loaded say my name before you pull it Too late you know just took that bullet You can't cry now Don't even try nowhere you can turn you can't even run away 2 can cry now don't even try to ride you can hide now you can even turn away You can't cry now Don't even try nowhere you can turn you can't even run away 2 can cry now don't even try to ride you can hide now you can even turn away
