The prodigal daughter: Coco Sumner. [María L.]

If I told you about Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, you would probably say that you don't know who is him. But if we are talking about Sting, obviously you will know who I am talking about. But today the issue is not the famous singer from The Police, but her daughter: Eliot Paulina Sumner, a.k.a. Coco Sumner.


WHO IS COCO SUMNER?
She is an English musician recording under the band name I Blame Coco.
Eliot began playing music at a young age and writing songs at the age 15. Some of her earlier demos include "I Blame Coco", "Look The Other Way", "Bohemian Love", "Darkstar", "Never Be", "Voice In My Head", "Avion", and "No Smile" (A song which would later appear on her album, The Constant), many of which were imbued with a heavy reggae influence and elements of pop punk.
The band includes Jonny Mott - Keyboards, Alexis Nunez - Drums, Jonas Jalhay - Guitar and Rory Andrew - Bass.
At age 17, Eliot signed a multi-record deal with Island Records, and spent 6 months writing and recording her debut album The Constant. The debut single was Caesar, feat. Robyn, the Swedish electropop songwriter.


I Blame Coco has also worked with Fyfe Dangerfield performing Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Miike Snow, and Sub Focus performing Splash. She has also performed with Pete Doherty, Mr Hudson and Plan B.

MY OPINION [MARÍA LÓPEZ]
Well, I have to admit that actually I've just met Coco recently, but I've been listening to his album over the past days and I didn't get bored of hearing the deep voice of this girl that with nearly twenty years is making a hole in the world of indie and electropop
Some people believe that the fame she's taking is thanks to his father, but the fact is that only owes him the genes of which she has inherited his talent.
