Neneh Cherry, Robyn, And Mapei Tease ‘Buffalo Stance’ Video Starring ‘Pose’’s Indya Moore
The trio shared a preview of the visuals to celebrate Trans Day Of Visibility
Neneh Cherry, Robyn, and Mapei have teased an upcoming video for their reworking of Cherry’s iconic hit “Buffalo Stance.”
The trio previewed the visuals yesterday (March 31) to celebrate the Trans Day Of Visibility. The video will star trans actor Indya Moore, known for their role in the hit FX series Pose.
“A stunning new visual for @robynkonichiwa and @mapeiofficial’s Buffalo Stance, directed by the incredible @IndiaSleem @Objectandanimal and starring queen @Indyamoore with a host of beautiful souls,” Cherry wrote on Instagram, sharing a snippet of the video.
“Sending all my love, strength, and solidarity to the inspiring trans community today on #TransDayOfVisibility. Stand proud in your Buffalo Stance.”
The new version of the 80s hit was released in March and saw Robyn transforming the track into a slinky Scandipop song, slowed down and stripped back with electronic shimmers and layered vocals. Mapei delivered a fresh take on the original’s iconic rap, while Dev Hynes handled production.
Robyn and Mapei’s “Buffalo Stance” reworking is the first release to be taken from a forthcoming collaboration album that Cherry has in the works. The full record is expected to be released later this year.
An enduring, iconic artist, Neneh Cherry has continued to define and redefine culture, style, and music, releasing five studio albums, including 2018’s Broken Politics, produced by Four Tet, which was met with critical acclaim by the likes of The Guardian, Rolling Stone, The Times, Q and Pitchfork. 2020 saw her reissue her radically influential debut album Raw Like Sushi to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
Last month, she received the Icon Award at the BandLab NME Awards 2022, following in the footsteps of previous winners Courtney Love and Shirley Manson. The award was presented to her by UK top 10 charting artist, BRIT Award-winner, and Neneh’s daughter, Mabel, and celebration her continual contribution to music and unmatched individuality over the past three decades.
