Raw Like Sushi is the debut album by Swedish musician Neneh Cherry. The album is best known for featuring the worldwide hit single Buffalo Stance. The single reached no. 3 in the UK Singles Chart, no. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and no. 1 in the Netherlands and Sweden. The album also contains the no. 8 US (and no. 20 UK) hit Kisses on the Wind, and the no. 5 UK hit Manchild. Raw Like Sushi is distinctive for its eclectic mix of genres, incorporating influences from across the trends of 1980s pop music. Cherry sings and raps accompanied by a diverse set of sounds, including pianos, synthesizers, brass instruments, guitars, and go-go percussion. The album's lyrical themes are influenced by Cherry's experiences of motherhood, and her education and upbringing. When it was released, the album was favorably compared to Madonna and Prince.
