And ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ there are those like Eagle-Eye Cherry ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² who seek to come up with something ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ creatively fresh each and every time. ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Combining his most mature set of songs ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ to date with the most widescreen ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² production of his career, Cherry's third ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý album, Sub Rosa, finds him expanding Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß the boundaries of his artistry and ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß boldly challenging our preconceptions. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² "I'd hesitate to say there's been a ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ master plan," he says. "But you can ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² definitely trace a journey through my ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß records. If there's a theme to Sub Rosa ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ it's asking 'what road are we going ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² down?' It's a cynical world and people ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý don't want to be preached at. But Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß there are a lot of questions that need ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß to be asked right now." ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Sub Rosa comes on the back of ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Eagle-Eye's first real break in five ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² years, following the hectic schedule ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß that engulfed him after his 1998 ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ breakthrough hit, "Save Tonight". The ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² time off gave him the opportunity to ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý take stock personally and to take a Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß look around at the much-changed world in ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß which we now live. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² "I got back home in early 2002 and was ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ able to sort through a lot of stuff," ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² he explains. "On the road you live in a ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß bubble and you have to put a lot of ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ things on the back-burner and decide to ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² deal with them later. I needed to take a ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý break and to clear out the closet." Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß The result is a collection of songs that ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ are still highly personal but are also ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² full of acute observation of the world ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ around us. "Quite a few of the songs ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² like 'Be Like That' and 'How Come' ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß touch on the question of where we're ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ headed," he says. "There's some despair ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² at what's happening in the world right ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý now. But there's optimism in there, Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß too. With a song like 'Don't Give Up', I ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß wanted to send out a message, like "Give ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ Peace A Chance". It's saying 'there's ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² always hope'. You can apply that in ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ different ways. It would be fun to ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² imagine a crowd at a soccer match ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß singing it when their team is losing, ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ for example. " ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý Sub Rosa is also an album of stories, Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß peopled by interesting characters. "The ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß Strange", for example, was written one day ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ in New York, just sitting in Central ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Park and people watching. "Skull ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Tattoo" has a similar inspiration. ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² "People have asked me who the woman is ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß in that song," Eagle-Eye says. "But she ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ was just someone I saw on the street." ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Then there is "Twisted Games", in which Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß the first verse is about a child who ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß becomes a pyromaniac and the second verse ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ is about a boy obsessed with guns. "I ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² like the idea of the songwriter as ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ storyteller. On a lot of these songs ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² I've stepped outside myself," he says. ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ The album was written both on the road ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² while touring Living In The Present ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý Future and in Cherrys New York Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß apartment. Inevitably the events of 11th ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß September 2001 and its aftermath -- a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ world-changing drama that is still being ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² played out -- have coloured his ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ approach. "It's not an album about ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² that because many of the songs were ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß already in progress before then," he ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ explains. "But I was hit by the reality ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² of the world we live in. I was in Los ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Angeles on that day and got stranded Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß there. The world is a very weird place ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß right now and of course that has ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ influenced me as a human being and as a ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² songwriter." ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² As we have come to expect from ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Eagle-Eye Cherry, Sub Rosa brims with ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ memorable melodies and irresistible ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² hooks. But it also sounds subtly ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý different from anything we've heard Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß from him before. "I think I've kept the ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß songwriting focus," he says. "But I've ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ always been fascinated by technology and ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² sampling and I knew I wanted one day to ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ work in that vein. So on this record I ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² thought about the production a lot ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß more. In the past I found solace in ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ songwriting with simple parameters. This ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² time the sound is definitely bigger and ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý more panoramic." Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß To assist in this process, he recruited ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ producer Al Stone (Bjrk and Jamiroquai). ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² On This Paralysis, Dont Give Up, and ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ The Food Song he also teamed up with ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Cameron McVey, husband and producer of ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß his sister, Neneh Cherry, while Crashing ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ Down and Feels So Right were produced by ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² John Kurzweg (Jewel, Puddle of Mud, ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý Creed) and How Come was produced by Tim Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Simenon (Massive Attack, Bjrk, Depeche ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß Mode).Yet he was also determined that ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ despite the bigger production, Sub Rosa ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² should maintain a spontaneous warmth. ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Its got an organic base from demo-ing ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² the songs in my apartment, Eagle-Eye ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß explains. Things happen in that ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ environment that are very causal and ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² natural. With a laptop you can get them ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý down and a lot of that ended up on the Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß record. Then we built it up from there ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß in the studio and combined technology with ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ the live thing. ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ The title, too, reflects the records ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² roots. "Sub Rosa" -- 'under the rose' ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß -- is when something is said in secret; ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ behind closed doors; on the down low. ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² Sometimes when I listen to music, ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý especially on headphones, it can feel Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß like that... its just the music and me," ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß explains Eagle-Eye. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Born in Sweden in 1971, while growing ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ up Eagle-Eye and older sister Neneh ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Cherry spent months on the road with ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß their father, the trumpeter Don Cherry, ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ acquiring an early taste for tour buses ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² and the nomadic lifestyle of working ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý musicians. At the age of 12, he was Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß sent to school in New York, where he ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß stayed on to work as an actor and a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ drummer in various bands. It was not ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² until 1996 that he returned to Sweden ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ to begin writing and making his debut ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² album, Desireless, at the relatively ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß late age of 26. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² A collection of highly personal ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý compositions, on its release in 1998, Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Desireless announced the arrival of an ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß important new contemporary ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ singer-songwriter. "There was a certain ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² amount of therapy on that record and I ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ wanted to go back to basics and make ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² it simple with acoustic guitars and ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß stuff," he says.
