I Blame Coco - The Constant

I Blame Coco is captained by Sting’s daughter Coco Sumner (real name Eliot Pauline Styler Sumner, 19), with support from Joy Joseph and Raphael Mann from Mr Hudson & The Library on drums and bass.

It’s fair to say that Coco is no stranger to the spotlight; as well as being a part-time actress who had a supporting role in the film Stardust, she’s also a model who was featured in Burberry’s spring/summer 2008 advertising campaign alongside Agyness Deyn.

Now as Coco descends onto the music scene, she is already encountering skepticism bordering on hostility towards her well-connected career-move. Some may argue that she is only doing so because she can but despite her privileges and connections, Coco insists that whilst she ‘loves them (her parents) to death, this is not about them. This is what I do and what I have to say.’

If the pressure to prove everyone wrong has concerned Coco then you certainly can’t tell judging by her mature, effervescent and uber-confident on-stage demeanor.

Coco, unsurprisingly, was surrounded by music from an early age and began playing guitar when she was just 4 years old. Having worked on her debut album singularly since the age of 15, she scrapped it all in the autumn of last year and re-wrote it to her own, exact specifications.

After experimenting with ska and reggae, Coco stumbled on her thumping electro-rock sound by accident. ‘I couldn’t find a guitarist, so I started messing around on a keyboard and that suited the songs much better.’ A trip to Stockholm resulted in a link-up with producer Klas and female singer Robyn, who provides backing vocals on Caesar.

'The Constant' is the debut album by the british Electropop act.
