Artist: Neneh Cherry

After the amazing version of "Dream Baby Dream" we heard a few weeks back, here's more material off Neneh Cherry and The Thing’s forthcoming album of cover songs, The Cherry Thing. This time it's a ... read more �

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: Simon Harris ’ ‘Bass (How Low Can You Go)’ video from 1988 was like who’s who of UK Hip Hop in the ‘80’s, some US pioneers too…and Dave Pearce. From 1989, Lil' Louis ’ groaning ‘French Kiss’ terrified old people at the time. Hypnotic Sex House will do that. [...]

Mit Neneh Cherry hätte wohl kaum noch jemand gerechnet. Erst recht nicht damit, dass die Stimme von "7 Seconds" an der Seite eines Free-Jazz-Trios Suicide covern würde. Zwischen Neneh Cherry und The Thing hat es offenbar gefunkt. Vor zwei Jahren trafen die prominente Sängerin und das radikale Free-Jazz-Trio erstmals zusammen, nun haben sie gemeinsam ein Album eingespielt. Angesichts der Hits von Neneh Cherry, die sich zwischen HipHop, Soul und Ethno bewegten, mutet ihr Comeback-Projekt abwegig an. Betrachtet man jedoch die [...]

Let's read Neneh Cherry's resume. She's a former member of punk girl band The Slits, former singer for post-punk band Rip, Rig and Panic and their successor, Float Up, C.P. Neneh gained a ton of attention from her vocals on The The's classic “Slow Train To Dawn”. Then she became part of Buffalo, the creative collective assembled by the late visionary Ray Petri, whose style so shaped the 1980s. Working as a solo artist for quite some time with albums, Raw Like Sushi , Homebrew , and Man , she's been collaborating with such diverse artists [...]

Now here's a blast from the past - Neneh "Buffalo Stance" Cherry !  She's been off the radar for a while, only lending her voice on a song here and there. Now, collaborating with Scanadavian jazz ensemble, the Thing  on forthcoming album called The Cherry Thing .   " Dream Baby Dream " is the first single from the album, and is a cover of 70s/80s punk rock band, Suicide 's song of the same title. In its original construct, " Dream Baby Dream " has these church-like organs that [...]

Remember Neneh Cherry? You know, the Swedish singer-rapper best known for the rap-dance hit "Buffalo Stance," "Buddy X," "Woman" and the Youssou N'Dour duet "7 Seconds." Neneh is back, this time collaborating with Norwegian-Swedish jazz trio, The Thing. Their debut album, The Cherry Thing, will be released on June 19th and they're sharing their trippy, [...]

De son vrai nom, Neneh Mariann Karlsson (née en Suède en 1964, puis a vécu à Londres), la chanteuse Neneh Cherry est comme un bouquet alors que chaque fleur ajoute à la qualité de l’ensemble. Entre autres, son père était musicien, son beau-père était le trompettiste jazzman Don Cherry (le trio Codona formé de Collin Walcott, Don Cherry et Nana Vasconcelos), ses demi-sœur (Titiyo) et demi-frère (Eagle-Eye Cherry) sont musiciens, son compagnon de vie actuel, Cameron MgVey, fut le premier producteur de Massive Attack. Neneh Cherry mérita un Brit Award en 1990 pour l’album Raw Like Sushi (hip [...]

• smalltownsupersound - Neneh Cherry & The Thing: Dream Baby Dream

News of outré Scandi jazz ensemble the Thing combining forces with Stockholm songstress Neneh Cherry was largely neglected and with nothing readily available for aural digestion, well, little wonder perhaps. However that their first collaborative effort The Cherry Thing was to feature reinterpretations of tracks from an eclectic spectrum ranging from DOOM to The Stooges and would be restrung by the ageless vocal chords of a lady now approaching her fiftieth year, this avant-garde work begins to assume genuine intrigue. They return to protopunk for the first sonic sample available: a rework of Suicide's [...]

Neneh Cherry , the Swedish-born songstress who gained famed in the 80s with her off-hand hit single ‘Buffalo Stance’ (and a bit of acclaim from her jazz-icon stepfather Don Cherry ), has released her first new music in nearly 13 years. The collaborative album alongside jazz group The Thing (for an aptly titled album The Cherry Thing ) features covers from artists such as The Stooges , MF Doom , and the aforementioned Don Cherry, among others, and will be available 18 June. You can listen to a [...]

Neneh Cherry and the Swedish jazz ensemble the Thing latch onto the piquant edges of Suicide’s "Dream Baby Dream," a well loved anthem that is having a bit of a renaissance thanks to this and ... read more �

Singer Neneh Cherry, who had some hits in the '80s , will put out an LP alongside Scandinavian jazz ensemble the Thing this summer, and the first glimpse of that is their cover of Suicide's " Dream Baby Dream ." It's an exultant interpretation, a track that follows a chaotic, cathartic instrumental breakdown into the clouds, Cherry chanting "Dream baby dream ... keep that flame burning!" the whole way. It's a notable angle and a powerful interpretation, for sure. Listen below. Read More...

Pitchfork is streaming a track from the new Neneh Cherry / The Thing collaboration which just happens to be a cover of "Dream baby dream" by Suicide : http://pitchfork.com/reviews/t racks/13425-dream-baby-dream/

Posted in Music Box J'aime beaucoup cette chanson / Fine Music Selection & Homemade Mixes. La musique d'ambiance lors d'un dîner est un problème d'une extrême sensibilité. Dans un dîner, on peut rater la sauce qui accompagne le gigot, mais on ne peut pas se permettre le moindre faux pas sur la playlist. Je déplore d'ailleurs qu'une émission comme « Top Chef » n'insiste pas sur ce point. Un bon plat servi avec un bon disque est [...]

Remember this one from 1988? Dana Bergquist and Peder G do an up-to-date edit/remix of this classic hip-pop freestyle tune. Clever chopping and sampling of the original track keeps the great structuring of the original while the new bass really brings it down deep. Enjoy the free download below!

• cuepoint.tv - Buffalo Stance (Dana Bergquist & Peder G Edit)

The fact that you haven’t heard Neneh Cherry for a long time isn’t that surprising: the Swedish pop star caught a hit in the 1980s with 'Buffalo Stance.' She hasn’t released any official solo work since the mid-90s, but has been spotted on several collaborations, including with Gorillaz on the 2006 track 'Kids With Guns.' So when new broke that Cherry would be working with jazz trio The Thing for a collection of cover songs, it was a bit surprising. The Thing actually nabbed their band name after a piece from [...]

Swedish pop artist Neneh Cherry (and daughter of famed trumpet player Don Cherry ) and Norwegian free-jazz combo The Thing are teaming up for an album to be released via Smalltown Supersound called, quite naturally, "The Cherry Thing" .

Youssou N'Dour has confirmed he'll be standing as a candidate in the Senegalese election . The BBC News report reminds everybody that he recorded Seven Seconds with Neneh Cherry, although surely in 2012 N'Dour must be better-known than either that single or Neneh Cherry? -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

In September of 2010, the world (well, the UK) watched as a jittery Worcestershire-born girl named Cher Lloyd strolled across the stage-suited in a a fitted black jacket and shredded white jeans-to audition for the X Factor . After a brief grilling by the judges regarding her name and age ("You look more!" Louis Walsh exclaimed after learning she was only 16 years old), Lloyd announced she'd be performing ( Keri Hilson 's cover of) Soulja Boy 's "Turn My Swag On." And then she opened her mouth to sing.
