Posted March 2, 20223 yr Robyn is releasing a cover of Neneh Cherry's Buffalo Stance tomorrow morning. First play during the 6 Music Breakfast show. @1498706882063654918
March 2, 20223 yr Interesting choice. Was a fan of Neneh Cherry. Impressed they have taken the cover art for Inna City Mamma as inspiration for their own artwork.
March 2, 20223 yr unexpected but interesting also read it as Mabel :D maybe Mapei is Mabel in disguise
March 2, 20223 yr I do like 'Buffalo Stance'. Peaking at #3 in the UK chart in January 1989, it was definitely one of the first 90s-sounding hits in my opinion. The song that inspired it and was sampled in it - Buffalo Gals by Malcolm McLaren and the World's Famous Supreme Team (#9 in the UK chart January 1983) isn't quite as well known but is a great experimental early dance/hip hop song.

March 2, 20223 yr Read that as Robyn feat. Mabel, I blame her being Neneh's daughter :lol: Was thinking exactly this

Yeh sounded real 90s when I heard it on TOTP at the time!
March 2, 20223 yr Please no. As much as I like Robyn, 'Buffalo Stance' is one of those bonafide classics that should never be touched.
March 3, 20223 yr There's a lot of tracks that works when you slow them down - Buffalo Stance is not one of those songs. Boring and I'm not really sure what they were going for with it. The original is such an explosion of life and joy.
March 3, 20223 yr The definitive version will always be: 91OEhRR0xIc ;) Edited March 3, 20223 yr by Voodoo
March 3, 20223 yr Sadly I won't be returning to this one very often. The chorus is fine but the second half of the song in particular really drags.
March 3, 20223 yr The definitive version will always be: 91OEhRR0xIc ;) There was just a special circle in hell reserved for you for claiming that.
March 3, 20223 yr I love the original and love alot of robyns material but dont like this cover at all.
March 3, 20223 yr It's alright. If Neneh Cherry had made that as a remix on the original release it wouldn't have been too bad an an "extra track", but it's just a bit long and meh as a proper release.
March 3, 20223 yr I love Robyn and the original song but this... eh. It really misses the mark somewhat.
