Sia and Neneh Cherry Collaborate on a New Version of โManchildโ. The Versions, Cherryโs joint album, will be released in June.
Sia has collaborated with Neneh Cherry on a funky remix of her 1989 song โManchild.โ The song will be featured on Cherryโs upcoming album The Versions, which will have an all-female lineup covering songs from her discography.
Robyn, Sia, Kelsey Lu, Jamila Woods, Tyson, and others will appear on the 10-track album, which will be released on June 10th. Cherry and her songs have a personal link for all of the performers on the album.
โWhen she first came out, Neneh was my favorite artist,โ Sia said in a statement. โI used to save my pocket money for red Filas and hoped to see you one day.โ When I was in my early twenties and struggling with my mental health, I ended up at their house and was treated as if I were one of their own children. During a suicide attempt, I phoned her husband, who had been mentoring me as an excellent music producer, and they offered me all the love I could have imagined. I owe them a big debt of gratitude, and if they asked, Iโd sing โa-b-cโ for them.โ
Cherry earlier released a remix of her popular single โBuffalo Stance,โ which included Robyn on vocals and Mapei on the rap verse. Indya Moore, a Pose cast member, stars in a vivid music video for the song.
