Facts

Neneh Cherry is a pure example of an INTERNATIONAL Star. Just because something doesn’t take flight here in America, does not mean it isn’t doing well elsewhere. We’ve been programmed to only pay attention to Billboard and how high a certain song or album charts. If it doesn’t reach the top 40 here, it isn’t considered a success. Again, that doesn’t mean the song or album isn’t doing well in places like: Jamaica, Sweden, Italy, Japan, etc. Plus, just because it charts high on Billboard, doesn’t mean it’s a good project. Billboard measures sales (or streams in modern times) it does not weigh critical acclaim. Therefore, Billboard measures commercial success.

i still bop to buffalo stance, neneh style of singing and rapping was ahead of her time, honestly that’s why record labels and the music industry had a hard time marketing her art, they should have just put the music out on all genres: rap, r & b, alternative, indie, and just let good music be good music, anyway she still made her mark salute to you ms.

Honestly she didn’t make it big in the States because she got pregnant during her “Buffalo Stance” promo. She was pregnant in the video. Back then if you got pregnant at the peak of your career it was suicide. Lauryn had the same fate. It’s was very frowned upon. Unlike now where Cardi B & Summer Walker were actually able to thrive during their pregnancies and album promos. Maybe if times were different then we would of gotten more music from here.

I absolutely still love this song. It takes me back to my late teen yrs when life was good. Na I mean huh

Always thought she was unique but never knew what happened with her. I really only knew Buffalo Stance. Sounds like she has a nice catalog of music. Will definitely have to check it out I love Eagle Eye too.
