I Blame Coco (Coco Sumner) posted some footage of her vocal session with Subfocus on ‘Splash’. Sting’s daughter writes, “Sub Focus released the track without a vocal a while ago then about 5 hours after I’d finished my vocal on it, it was sent in to Zane Lowe! I’m over the moon Nick (Sub Focus) asked me to guest on it. It’s a great track and it’s my first time doing the drum+bass thing. Hopefully he’s going to remix my next single Selfmachine.” Watch it via MySpace below.

Hello all.
We have finished shooting the video for the next single, shot by Hope + Audikana the genius brains behind the ‘Caesar’ video. It was a good two days of shooting in a lake. Freezing.
Three nights ago we played at Skins House, E4s festival in Bristol. The crowd we’re brilliant. Come to Proud in Camden on Thursday and join me for a pint. Hope to see some of you there!
I Blame Coco are out with the music video to their new single ‘Caesar’, featuring Robyn, out in the UK on January 24th. “Had my first radio play last night! On at 10 with Nick Grimshaw,” Coco Sumner said of the song’s debut. “I’m over the moon! (Cheers Grimmy!). Should be putting up the video of ‘Caesar’ at some point directed by Hope + Audikana. I think its brilliant I hope you like it. Also ‘Caesar’ remixes from Miike Snow and Diplo are going to be avalible too! Merry Christmas everyone.” Watch it below.
Coco Sumner of I Blame Coco checked in with fans on their official web site on Thursday (November 26), discussing her gig for Jo Wiley’s Little Noise Sessions at the Union Chapel and what not to expect from her new album. Sting’s daughter writes:
On a more musical note I’ve noticed a few people talking about me recording a ska/reggae record in Jamaica. Just to put the record straight I wrote and recorded the album in Sweden – far from Jamaica and much colder! I know I did a couple of 7 inches last year which were pretty ska (‘I Blame Coco’ and ‘Darkstar’) but it’s not going to be a ska record either… I’m not really sure how to describe it – maybe you can be the judge of that?!

Coco Sumner of I Blame Coco checked in with fans on the British pop rock group’s MySpace on Wednesday (August 5). The daughter of Sting writes:
Hey everyone. Hope you’re all well, just been my birthday last week, had a great time! Now I’m back to work in the studio making some really exciting stuff. I’ve been listening and intergrating a lot of punk rock and disco into the album recently, like Dead Kids who I went to see at Standon Calling festival last Sunday. They’re my favorite band, really inspiring and was good to get a bit of buzz for getting back in the studio. I’m on a detox now (fun celebrations have bad consequences) feel like a bit of a boring old person but think it’s good for me.
I Blame Coco’s Coco Sumner checked in with fans on their blog at MySpace on Monday (July 6) with news on their album and the new single ‘Avion’. The daughter of Sting writes:
We’re back in Stockholm now making finishing off a couple of the tracks on the album. We just shot the video for our next single ‘Avion’ in Brooklyn with my brother Jake, it’s gonna be good and out soon! Taking some time off playing shows until September time. Recovering well after my head injury I had in May, was a bit rubbish. Looking forward to getting my German Shepherd puppy. take care
