Homebrew is the second studio album by Swedish musician Neneh Cherry. It was released in 1992 via Circa Records. The album features several different genres, including between jazz, funk and trip hop. The album photography was by Jean-Baptiste Mondino. Recording sessions took place at Cherry Bear Studios in London and at the Cherry Bear Mobile, except "Sassy" was additionally recorded at Grapehouse Studios in Copenhagen and "Trout" was additionally recorded at Power Play Studios in New York. Gang Starr co-wrote and produced "Sassy" and "I Ain't Gone Under Yet". Geoff Barrow wrote and produced "Somedays".
"Trout" features a guitar riff replayed by Jonny Dollar from Steppenwolf's version of "The Pusher", and the drum track by John Bonham from "When the Levee Breaks". [11] "Buddy X" was allegedly inspired by Lenny Kravitz. It was later remixed by Falcon & Fabian and featured Notorious B.I.G. and also remixed by the Dreem Teem and Masters at Work. The track "Move with Me" later appeared on the soundtrack of the 1993 film Sliver , while a dub version of the song appears on the soundtrack of the 1991 Wim Wenders film Until the End of the World . The track 'Red Paint' is a reinterpretation of a true story told to Neneh by her late mother Moki Cherry.
Two singles were released from Homebrew worldwide: "Money Love" and "Buddy X". "Money Love" charted within the top 40 of various countries while "Buddy X" became Cherry's third top-50 hit in the United States. [12] [13] In Germany, a third single—"Move with Me"—was also released. [14] Meanwhile, a fourth song, "Trout", received heavy airplay on US alternative radio; despite never being released as a single, it peaked at number two on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in January 1993.
