Blank Project is the fourth studio album by Neneh Cherry, released by Smalltown Supersound on February 25, 2014. The record is Cherry's first album of solo music in 18 years. It was recorded and mixed over a 5-day period in Woodstock, NY. It was produced by Four Tet's Kieran Hebden and features a guest appearance by Robyn. The record also includes work with prior collaborators, synth/drum duo RocketNumberNine. Critical reviews of the album were very positive. Cherry has said that the record musically mourns the death of her mother in 2009. “I have this sense of feeling quite calm and settled in what I'm doing right now, but also a sense of urgency,” Cherry says. “I think (Blank Project) is very much about being here and now rather than being trapped or trying to recreate some kind of nostalgia.” Blank Project is the fourth studio album by Neneh Cherry, released by Smalltown Supersound on February 25, 2014.

Cherry has released six studio albums under her own name. Her first, Raw Like Sushi, was released in 1989 and peaked at number three on the UK Album Chart, thanks in large part to the worldwide hit single "Buffalo Stance".
