Constance Power is an English singer and songwriter whose output is impossible to pigeon-hole. This can be traced back to her youth. She studied ballet and musical theatre before concentrating on music. As a youngster, she absorbed a great variety of music, while as a teen she was mostly drawn to indie bands. Yet, as a woman of colour, she felt predestined to make commercial R&B. After this proved unfulfilling, she developed her own musical cocktail of contemporary indie-pop and soul-rooted alternative R&B with rocky elements. This earned her comparisons to artists such as Lily Allen, King Krule and Hiatus Kaiyote.

As Connie Constance, Power released an album, and three handfuls of singles and EPs since 2015. Prim And Propa is her driving new tune. It opens quietly, until the summer-y percussion kicks in. And then, out of the blue, she throws in a short intermezzo with banging drums and soaring guitars. In the second half, it’s this intermezzo that sets the tone, like a burst of punches in the face. An adventurous, energetic track!
