Video: Neneh Cherry & The Thing - Accordion (Madvillian/MF Doom cover)

Neneh comes full circle by returning, and embracing, her roots on this vital album. Neneh Cherry is a rare thing in popular music. A woman who has appeared, from the outside at least, to control her own destiny and ploughed her own path whilst coming from a wildly eclectic and creative family. Mother Moki is a painter and textile artist, younger brother Eagle-Eye is a musician (Save Tomorrow is a brilliant record), stepsister Jan is a violinist, and stepbrother David Ornette Cherry is (and if you can't guess what,...

In the wake of a post-M.I.A., Santi, and Nicki world, it's worth re-evaluating the catalog of Neneh Cherry, the one who taught the world that a buffalo stance was more than a Bruce Smith pose. In '88, her massive hit fused rap, roots music and UK dance in a way that was far less corny than most of the hip house flooding the market. Yet within the US, she's largely relegated to one hit wonder status, even though her sound was probably 20 years ahead of its time. No less than Milli Vanilli beat her out for the 1990 Best [...]

Many thanks to Miz for catching my attention with this one. It's not strictly underground hip hop. What it is, is Neneh Cherry (daughter of Jazz Musician, Don Cherry and sister of Eagle Eye Cherry) covering an underground hip hop anthem. She has taken on the Madvillain classic 'Accordion' and has definitely given it a

A few weeks ago we shared a track from Neneh Cherry 's new project with jazz ensemble The Thing called, The Cherry Thing , with the cover of Suicide 's " Dream, Baby Dream ." Now with the unleashing of their second single, a cover of Madlib and MF Doom 's " Accordion ," is quite incredible. You hear extremely subtle elements of the original but The Thing 's use of [...]

Neneh Cherry is back with a band called The Thing. This is the new offering from the album called The Neneh Thing . it's quite experimental and is definitely not made for a mainstream audience. It's good to have her back. Performing in complete darkness Neneh Cherry covers the Madvillian/MF Doom track "Accordion." The mask wearing MF Doom first uttered these words when he collaborated with the Producer Madlib on the critically acclaimed 'Madvillainy' album 'Stones Throw' in 2004.

The Thing are one of the best live bands in the world. The Scandinavian jazz trio laid waste to Field Day two years ago, clearly attempting to paste people to the back wall of the tent through sheer weight of noise. Now the band have teamed up with Neneh Cherry for a collaborative album called, funnily enough, The Cherry Thing . The latest track to materialise from the project is this outstanding cover of 'Accordion', the original of which appeared on 20042s [...]

With her 1989 album Raw Like Sushi , singer/rapper Neneh Cherry pretty much defined a very particular cosmopolitan gum-snap idea of cool that made a huge impression on nine-year-old me, and it's hard to imagine, say, M.I.A. existing without the precedent that Cherry set. Cherry's been on the inactive list for a while, but she recently linked with Scandinavian jazz combo the Thing to record an album of covers called The Cherry Thing . We've already posted their version of Suicide's " Dream Baby Dream ." And now there's a video for their cover of Madvillain's " Accordion [...]
