Man is the third solo studio album by Swedish singer Neneh Cherry, released on 2 September 1996 by Hut Records and Virgin Records.
Three singles were issued from the album, "Woman", "Kootchi", and "Feel It".
Preceding the album release, a duet with Youssou N'Dour called "7 Seconds" was released as a single to promote the Senegalese singer's studio album The Guide (Wommat). Almost two years later, the track was also added to Cherry's album.
The album includes two cover songs: "Trouble Man" by Marvin Gaye, which was included in the 1995 compilation Inner City Blues: The Music of Marvin Gaye; and "Golden Ring", a song by the band American Gypsy.
