Cherry has released five 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". 

Her second studio album was 1992's 'Homebrew'. Four years later she released 'Man', with her next studio album, 'Blank Project', coming in 2014. Her most recent album, 'Broken Politics', was released in 2018.
