Connie Constance

Connie Constance is an English singer/songwriter whose output doesn't adhere to one genre and has the disparate comparisons -- to the likes of Lily Allen, King Krule, and Hiatus Kaiyote -- to prove it. She released her early 2015-2016 recordings on Black Acre, a label that enabled her to develop her hybrid of contemporary indie pop and soul-rooted alternative R&B. She made her 2019 full-length debut on Universal subsidiary AMF with English Rose, and since then has established her own label, Jump the Fence, with EPs such as the 2021 offering Prim & Propa. Second full length album Miss Power arrived in 2022.A native of Watford, Hertfordshire, Connie Constance (born Constance Power) studied ballet and musical theater before she concentrated on music. Although she was absorbed by a great variety of music as a youngster, and drawn most to indie bands during her teen years ranging from the Stone Roses to Arctic Monkeys, she felt predestined as a woman of color to make commercial R&B. Unfulfilled after writing tens of songs conforming to a specific genre, Connie resolved to make music that more accurately reflected herself and defied simple classification. She found a home at Black Acre (slogan: "Genre? There is no genre"), the outlet for the three-song In the Grass EP and the single "Answer," both of which were recorded with label mate Blue Daisy and released in 2015. Connie then struck a deal with Universal boutique division AMF. During the next two years, she took small steps toward her first album with an array of singles epitomized by "Let Go," a collaboration with Ben Baptie and Alfa Mist. The ballad was later among the highlights of English Rose, Connie's full-length debut. The March 2019 release included additional input from the likes of Jim Abbiss, Luke Gomm, and Dave Okumu, and led with the title track, a Jam cover. Connie then went independent and in 2020 launched Jump the Fence with a batch of singles and The Butterfly Club, a five-track EP. Prim & Propa, another EP, followed in 2021. In 2022, second full-length Miss Power was released on Belgian label Play It Again Sam, offering a new chapter of Constance's songs of empowerment and self-actualization.
