I Blame Coco
In Spirit Golden

Island

WE SAY

I Blame Coco’s debut album The Constant comes out next month, preceded by encouraging news from around Europe. A performance on French TV show Le Grand Journal helped send her debut album to No2 in the French iTunes charts and a collaboration with Robyn in Sweden secured them No2 on Sweden's iTunes chart. Coco is currently on a nationwide UK tour supported by a partnership with Urban Outfitters, which has seen a series of acoustic in-stores running alongside the biggest live date. This week's headline London show at Scala is a sell-out. In Spirit Golden is more elegant dance-pop from an emerging star, whetting the appetite for an album which has already been praised by monthly magazines. Mojo declared that “the sound of discovery has seldom been such fun as this”. Video.

London gig: October 20, Scala N1 / Urban Outfitters Oxford Circus (19:00)
