Neneh Cherry has enlisted Robyn to reimagine her 1988 song “Buffalo Stance.” The new version is produced by Devonté Hynes and features Robyn singing Cherry’s part and Mapei handling the rap verse. It’s billed as the first release from a “forthcoming collaboration album” out later this year. Listen to the new version of “Buffalo Stance” below.
“I love that I could write an essay with all the things I could say about Robyn and I love that she leaves me speechless at the same time,” said Cherry in a statement. “I’ve known Robyn for three decades; she is my sister, my friend, my family, a creative inspiration. So to have Robyn doing her version of a new life interpretation of ‘Buffalo Stance’ is an absolute honor… and with Dev Hynes and Mapei, this is what dreams are made of!”
Cherry’s last album, Broken Politics, came out in 2018. The following year, she released a deluxe reissue her debut full-length Raw Like Sushi and shared a music video for “Natural Skin Deep.” Cherry also hopped on a new song with the Avalanches and got a special remix by Forest Swords.
