16 Dec 2009I Blame Coco featuring Robyn – Caesar (Youtube)
Apologies for a lack of updates lately, people – I’ve started a new job and been doing stuff and other associated blah blah blah. But you don’t need to worry about that, because here’s a brand new track for you to get your collective faces around.
Most of the hype for I Blame Coco is going to come from the fact that she’s Sting’s daughter, and you can even hear a little of his voice coming through alongside Police-esque harmonies. That aside though, this is a really exciting new track, not least because Coco’s voice is so damn low. There’s a really quality to it that I didn’t see coming.
The track itself has shades of electro and there’s even a bit of New Order in there. The chorus is probably the highlight, though, given that it contains vocals by pop darling Robyn. Oh, Robyn! I thought you’d peaked after collaborating with Yelle (sort of) and Royksopp but this is just lovely. Especially when it’s snowing in England, for crying out loud.
