Info:

In 1988, Cherry Vanilla and, dance master, Man Parish recorded an "intriguing jazz-edged poetry" album. While this isn't what one would expect from Ms. Vanilla it does, however, provide an interesting look into the realities of her "life." With the sharp wit lashing out of her words, Cherry starts telling her story with age seven ("the age of reason"). Cherry's poems are hidden behind the roars of reality, cries of babies, and chants of the children lovers. It is a tough album to review because every time you listen to it new emotions take over the previous sentimental memories that arose out of the sonic hiss of the speakers during the previous listen. Moreover, the realness of Cherry's poems can have either a negative or positive effect on the listener, the more you think about "...when one lover goes..." the more your will-power is tested. Do I think of good or do I think of the bad experiences? With the drum machine chiming away and voice box shouting, the war of words become entangled in a web of blue roses and at last the listener becomes aware of the simplicity of their wellbeing.
