Live Review: Blue Daisy ‘Alone’ Ft. Connie Constance

In their second collaboration, Londoner's BLUE DAISY and CONNIE CONSTANCE have released ‘Alone’. It's a blur of lyrics, percussion, darkness and melancholy, this latest release tells a tale of two individuals alone in the bustling world around them.

Connie Constance is a 20 year old who only began singing in more recent years, something of a great decision. Blue Daisy has been around the traps a little longer, and is known for intensity within his work, blurring darkness, grit and at times adding in a hint of hip hop; Blue Daisy’s voice is reminiscent of Faithless frontman Rollo.

‘Alone’ starts off with a very melancholy pipe organ before Blue Daisy launches into delivering his part of the story. You can hear a distinctly British accent and the lyrics are delivered in such a way that is sounds almost like a poetry reading.

Electronic drums begin, but the beat sounds off, like it belongs somewhere else. Slowly another sound enters and it sounds almost like a siren or alarm going off. Connie Constance takes command of the second half of ‘Alone’, her voice also giving the feeling a poetry reading. The percussion and musical sounds change to give a different feeling until the whole track sounds like worlds are colliding and it starts to mesh into a very confusing sound, reminiscent of the confusion of being alone.

Both Blue Daisy and Connie Constance have albums due out this year, expect to have a lot of different feels on their way.

You can pre-order Blue Daisy’s Darker Than Blue on iTunes for its September 25 release on R&S Records.

Listen to more from Connie Constance on Soundcloud and keep an eye out for news of her debut EP, In The Grass, produced by Blue Daisy and released by Black Acre Records.
