"Money Love" is a 1992 song performed by Swedish singer-songwriter and rapper Neneh Cherry. It was released as the first single from Cherry's second album, Homebrew. The song peaked at number 17 in Sweden and also peaked at number 6 in Greece, number 22 in the Netherlands, number 23 in the United Kingdom and number 31 in New Zealand.[1] The picture on the single is taken by French fashion photographer and music video director Jean-Baptiste Mondino.

Critical reception[]

Alex Henderson from AllMusic noted that the song "decries the evils of materialism".[2] Larry Flick from Billboard described it as a "smokin', rock-flavored hip-hopper, empowered with a more biting, worldly edge than on past efforts." He added that "periodic rushes of metallic guitars slice through a fat groove, and underscore Cherry's well-seasoned singing and rapping."[3] David Browne from Entertainment Weekly noted that on "brazen tracks" like ”Money Love”, Cherry "still knows how to throw down with the best of them."[4] Dave Sholin from Gavin Report commented, "Grappling with the age-old dilemma of money vs. love is made all the more compelling set to a funky, rockin' beat."[5] Pan-European magazine Music & Media stated that the singer's "position at the top of innovative pop is reaffirmed. A guitar riff on a dance record, hey that's uncommon! Rockers here's your chance to steal a sample back, instead of the other way round."[6] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update called it a "jerkily surging pop chugger".[7]
