Neneh Cherry, the Swedish British singer-songwriter, conquered the world of music like a force of nature with her mesmerising fusion of hip-hop, pop, and R&B. Not only her vocals but also her style and persona, which is receptive throughout her music videos, have greatly influenced the industry. For instance, the video for 'Buffalo Stance', her breakout hit, is a masterwork that showcases her fierce energy and eclectic mix of high-fashion with street-wear creating a perfect synergy with the song's rebellious tone. The video, a glamorous yet gritty portrayal of late-80s urban culture, has left its imprint influencing many artists and music video directors since.
Cherry's video for 'Manchild', another of her chart-topping tracks, is really admired in the MTV crowd for its fusion of abstraction and reality, offering viewers a surreal visual journey. This was a time when music videos were pretty rudimentary and the 'Manchild' video significantly pushed the envelope. A lesser-known fact about Neneh Cherry is that she was pregnant during the shoot of 'Seven Seconds', her duet with Youssou N'Dour. Despite being heavy with her child, she danced gracefully through the video, demonstrating a level of commitment and passion rarely seen in today’s industry. From 'Buffalo Stance' to '7 seconds', every music video of Cherry showcases her magnetic charisma that continues to captivate the audience even after three decades of her musical journey.
