Earlier this year, Neneh Cherry teamed up with jazz troupe the Thing to rework a number of her favourite tunes on The Cherry Thing. Her covers of Suicide, the Stooges, Madvillain and more is about to get next-level, however, with news that a group of electronically geared musicians will be reinterpreting Cherry and the Thing's interpretations. The album name, naturally, will be The Cherry Thing Remixes.
The re-tweaked set arrives November 13 via Smalltown Supersound and will feature newly envisioned pieces from the likes of Four Tet, Jim O'Rourke, Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas, Hortlax (aka Peter Bjorn and John's John Eriksson), Japanese noisesmith Merzbow, and more.
While Cherry offered up Four Tet's remix of "Dream Baby Dream" (originally performed by Suicide) a couple of months ago, the singer is now unveiling Kim Hiorthøy's redo of Cherry and the Thing's version of Ornette Coleman's "What Reason Could I Give". You can stream the track down below, where you'll also find the tracklisting.
