Man is the third solo album by Swedish singer Neneh Cherry, released in 1996. The album was a reasonable success; however, the track which ironically does not fit in the overall feeling of the album and often feels like the odd song out, "7 Seconds", became a hit. This track was a duet with Youssou N'Dour, a famous Senegalese singer who helped make the musical style mbalax popular in Africa, and in a way this duet was an introduction of this style to Europe and the United States. Cherry was nominated for a Grammy in 1994 for the duet.
