Watch Neneh Cherry & the Thing cover Madvillain's 'Accordion'
The floetic Swedish songstress does her thing with the Thing
?
If you're not on the Neneh Cherry tip yet, stop everything you're doing right now and take a few to watch this video. It's a video that the Swedish-born Cherry - stepdaughter of storied cornetist Don Cherry and half-sister of Eagle-Eye - recently filmed for her scatted-out cover of MF DOOM/Madvillain's iller-than-ill "Accordion" (from the instantly classic Madvillainy; original video here).

Cherry's collaborators for the tune, and for the entirety of her upcoming album The Cherry Thing (out 6/19), are the members of Sacandanavian avant-jazz supergroup The Thing. This is a truly amazing pairing, you guys. Cherry's floetic, metasexy approach meshes beautifully with The Thing's deep, eclectic controlled freakout. See also: the group's gorgeous cover of Suicide's "Dream Baby Dream." I'm getting wet over here.
