It’s true that while no moneyman can win our love, a good cover of a pop classic is the sweetness that we’re always thinking of. So we naturally worked ourselves up into a panic last month when Robyn teamed with Mapei and producer Dev Hynes to drop her ace re-imagination of Neneh Cherry’s timeless late-’80s banger “Buffalo Stance,” and today (April 12), we’re treated to a proper visual.
The clip was directed by Manchester-born, Brooklyn-based India Sleem and stars model, Pose actor, and LGBTQ+ community figure Indya Moore, who is joined here by other young queer and BIPOC creatives that further Cherry’s original stance as standing proud for and amongst those who are marginalized. Cherry once described a “Buffalo Stance” as a type of attitude a person needs in order to get by; nearly 35 years later, the sentiment remains as true as ever.
“The imprint Neneh Cherry’s voice made on my 10-year-old brain has stayed with me ever since I heard ‘Buffalo Stance’ for the first time,” says Robyn. “How she repeated ‘no money man… can win my love’ and the riff at the end of the song stuck with me and has informed many songs I’ve written since then. The husky low tones and the high frequency power in her voice, revealing truths about what it is like to be a girl without excuses, were intensely inspiring… Even though I didn’t understand all the words, I knew Neneh was on my side.”
She sure is.
