Homebrew is the second studio album by Neneh Cherry. The overall success of the album is limited, especially in comparison with her debut album. The overall feeling of the album is experimental, with an attempt at fusion between jazz, funk and trip-hop which may have been too far off mainstream for acceptance by the general public. The album photography was by Jean-Baptiste Mondino.

The single "Buddy X" is said to have been written about American rock musician Lenny Kravitz. Gang Starr co-wrote and produced "Sassy" and "I Ain't Gone Under Yet." Geoff Barrow wrote and produced "Somedays."

"Trout" features a guitar riff sampled from Steppenwolf's version of "The Pusher",[2] and the drum track by John Bonham from "When The Levee Breaks".
