With so much music released these days, it's easy for us here at Indie Shuffle to miss the odd gem or two, but the fact that none of us picked up on Neneh Cherry's "Out Of The Black" just seems criminal.
Taken from
Blank Project, Cherry's first full-length solo album in 18 years, "Out Of The Black" is sensational, with Cherry's mature vocals sounding at home over Four Tet's brooding synth production. Swedish pop purveyor Robyn joins Cherry on the tune. With the lyrical interplay between the two similar to milk and cookies, it's a surprise it's taken the two so long to collaborate.
If you dig this one, do yourself a favor and grab a copy of the wonderful
Blank Project now, and be sure to check out the
awesome video "Out Of The Black" that dropped today.
