Metacritic Music Reviews, The Constant by I Blame Coco, Sting's daughter releases her debut album with her band I Blame Coco. 2010 release, the Electro Pop-fuelled debut album from I Blame Coco, also known as Coco Sumner and the daughter of legendary musician Sting. Coco worked on the record since the age of 15, before scrapping and reworking the entire body of work, crafting each melody and lyric to her own immaculate specification.
Born in northern Italy on July 30, 1990, Eliot Pauline Sumner received a first-rate musical education from her father, Sting. She grew up in a small village in Wiltshire, England, and kept herself largely removed from the glamour and glitz of her father's career. By her mid-teens, however, 'Coco' Sumner had taken a cue from her dad by composing reggae-flavored songs of her own, many of which were posted to her MySpace page. Several labels took interest in the material, and she subsequently signed a multi-album deal with Island Records.While working on her debut album, the 18-year-old Sumner assembled a small band that included session keyboardist Emlyn Maillard and multi-instrumentalist Al Shux (who produced Jay-Z's chart-topping 'Empire State of Mind' in 2009). Sporting a fashionable sound that sampled equally from pop, ska, and electro-punk, I Blame Coco began releasing songs in early 2010, including a duet with Swedish pop vocalist Robyn. I Blame Coco's debut album, The Constant, appeared later that year.
After spending a couple of years working on new songs, Sumner announced that she would start releasing music under her own name in 2014. The Information EP arrived that August. A pair of songs from that debut EP eventually made their way to her first proper solo full-length, also titled Information, which was released in January 2016. Andrew Leahey.
