Product Description
CD Description
The Constant is 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 specification. Her inherited, distinct voice caught the ear of Swedish producer Klas Ahlund (Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue) and Robyn, who sang on first single "Caesar".

Only Love Can Break Your Heart,
This review is from: The Constant (Audio CD)
I've listened to many of the demo's of this album in the past year(s) and personally I liked the reggae/ska style a bit better. Nevertheless is this a brilliant first album of Coco. If you want to hear and see I Blame Coco at her full potential, please visit her live show! :o) You won't be disappointed.

Coco Done Good !,
By
This review is from: The Constant (Audio CD)
Blimey! Sting's little girl done good! I stopped liking Mr Sumner's music
a very long time ago but there's not a whiff of rainforest about this largely jolly collection of fourteen tracks produced by the estimable Klaus Ahlund. He has brought 'The Constant' into land glowing with the fine electro-glossy sound with which he is associated and does so well. For her part Ms Coco sings splendidly and has spun (with varying degrees of assistance) some very good tunes into being. She has a distinctive voice. Low, fruity, rich and throaty. The beats are big; the synths glisten and sparkle. All in all it's a perfectly pleasant affair. Not great but very good. None of the songs go on too long. Economy can be a boon in the right hands. Strongest amongst them 'Turn Your Back On Love' makes a bid for best of the bunch. It really is a cracking composition which romps along between workmanlike verse to uplifting chorus with beautifully calibrated confidence. 'In Spirit Golden' has oodles of a nice kind of eighties exuberance running through it. Chunky pitch-perfect terrestrially-tied space-age power-pop. 'Quicker' is a marvelously old-fashioned confection with the tiniest whiff of Goth about it. The rhythmic structure lends itself to high-kicks and ribald twirling. 'Party Bag' is another cracking anthem. Ms Sumner does her very best to sound mean and moody but she can't help throwing herself into the gorgeous uplifting chorus and nail it to the studio wall with warmth, enthusiasm and conviction. 'Caesar', a duet with Robyn, is about as down and dirty as things get. It storms along like an angry wasp stuck in a milk bottle but funnier! 'It's About To Get Worse' is a powerful slower-paced number which packs a considerable emotional wallop and shows off the best of Ms Sumner's not inconsiderable vocal talents. A glimpse of greater things to come methinks! The take on Neil Young's 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' is the only badly judged inclusion. Truth-be-told it's a bit of a stinker but we can forgive one miss-hit given the generally very high quality of the rest of the material. 'The Constant' is a polished and very impressive debut. Recommended.
