Neneh Cherry has announced The Versions, a collaboration album of reworked versions of her songs featuring the all-female lineup of Robyn, ANOHNI, Sia, Jamila Woods, Sudan Archives, Greentea Peng, Kelsey Lu, Honey Dijon, Seinabo Sey, TYSON, and Mapei. It comes out June 10 via Universal (pre-order). She recently released the new version of "Buffalo Stance" with Robyn and Mapei, and today she released the Sia version of "Manchild." Here's what Sia says about it:
Neneh was my favorite artist when she hit the scene. I saved my pocket money for red filas and dreamt one day we would meet. When I was struggling with my mental health in my early twenties, I somehow ended up in their house being taken care of as if I was one of their own children. I called her husband during a suicide attempt, who had been mentoring me as an incredible music producer, and they gave me all the love I could have dreamt of. I owe them a huge thanks and would sing ‘a-b-c’ for them if they asked. Neneh, my very first queen, Cameron my bonus dad, I love you forever amen!
