Singer Neneh Cherry, 25, makes one of the year’s biggest and most original debut splashes on “Raw Like Sushi.” The London-based Cherry renders a fresh, distinctive and seamless conglomerate of R&B, funk, rap and pop on this 10-cut package.
The effect is a provocatively arresting mix that delves into social (“Inner City”), romantic (“Love Ghetto”) and party (“Outre Risque Locomotive”) motifs.
