Eliot Pauline Sumner received a first-rate musical education from her father, Sting. By her mid-teens, however, "Coco" Sumner had taken a cue from her dad by composing reggae-flavored songs of her own. Several labels took interest in the material, and she subsequently signed a multi-album deal with Island Records. While working on her debut album, the 18-year-old Sumner assembled a small band that included session keyboardist Emlyn Maillard and multi-instrumentalist Al Shux (who produced Jay-Z's chart-topping "Empire State of Mind" in 2009). Sporting a fashionable sound that sampled equally from pop, ska, and electro-punk, I Blame Coco began releasing songs in early 2010, including a duet with the Swedish pop vocalist Robyn. I Blame Coco's debut album, The Constant, appeared later that year. After spending a few years working on new songs, in 2014 Sumner announced that she would be making and releasing music under her own name from then on. The Information EP arrived that August, with a full-length expected in 2016
