I Blame Coco is the alias of one Coco Sumner; who has so far been mostly known for being the daughter of Sting and Trudie Styler and her previous dalliances with infamous indie urchin, Peter Doherty. However this is all set to change with the release of her debut single ‘Caesar’ – released February 1^st on Island Records. The track sees the young singer team up with Swedish songstress Robyn for a cut of fast paced electro-pop. While being the offspring of rock royalty would irk some people, Coco clearly hasn’t let it affect her at all. Addressing any potential critiques with the opening line “I want to annoy… and I’m going to enjoy it”. Any fans of 80’s infused songwriters such as Ladyhawke & Little Boots will find plenty here to enjoy, while any naysayers should at least hold back their thoughts until the album is released later in the year.
