Neneh Cherry has announced the release of a new album, The Versions, which will be out on June 10 via Republic. The album consists of covers of songs from across her catalog performed by a lineup of all female artists. She has shared a cover of her song “Manchild” performed by Sia. Listen to the new cover and view the album’s tracklist/cover art below.

Sia states in a press release: “Neneh was my favorite artist when she hit the scene. I saved my pocket money for red filas and dreamt one day we would meet. When I was struggling with my mental health in my early twenties, I somehow ended up in their house being taken care of as if I was one of their own children. I called her husband during a suicide attempt, who had been mentoring me as an incredible music producer, and they gave me all the love I could have dreamt of. I owe them a huge thanks and would sing ‘a-b-c’ for them if they asked. Neneh, my very first queen, Cameron my bonus dad, I love you forever amen!”

Neneh Cherry’s most recent studio album, the Four Tet-produced Broken Politics, came out in 2018 via Smalltown Supersound.
