Approved: Daisy Dares You (CMU Tips For 2010)
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 14 January 2010
Daisy Dares You, aka sixteen year old Daisy Coburn, is poised to pounce on the charts and hook her claws in repeatedly this year. The subject of a fierce bidding war nine months ago, she signed to Sony Music’s Jive before lying low to work on her debut album. Her MySpace page is bulging (literally) with pictures of the artists she loves – Kurt Cobain, Jeff Buckley, Frank Sinatra, Nick Cave, Robert Johnson and Nick Drake all feature – though the spiky pop sound she’s come up doesn’t have a huge amount in common with any of them.
She could have gone a little easier on the Auto-tune and that brash singing style can grate a bit, but songs like sweet ballad ‘Stuck And Still’ and the swirling tones of ‘Next Few Minutes’ show a real talent beyond the disposable pop that debut single ‘Number One Enemy’, due out 22 Feb, alludes to.
