Cherry Head, Cherry Heart
Cherry Head, Cherry Heart are a pop group from Middlesbrough, active since 2012. The group centres on Andrew Johnson and Naomi Lowe.
Style and writing
Their songs set often critical or negative lyrics against strong melodies and easy-to-listen-to arrangements. The group describes this approach as a kind of sugar-coated contrast between subject matter and sound.
Formation and membership
The act forms in 2011 and later continues as a stripped-down trio featuring Andy Johnson, Naomi Lowe and Andrew McIntyre. At the start, the group works on original material, records demos, and plays some early live shows while developing its identity.
Influences and connections
One of the main early influences is The Beautiful South. All three members are also part of the tribute group The Southmartins. Their broader influences include Ray Charles, Rihanna, Herb Alpert, The Clash, The Divine Comedy, John Shuttleworth, and a wide range of classic rock and pop.
