Daisy Coburn, otherwise known as Daisy Dares You, has been making significant ripples in the music industry over the past month or two. At only sixteen years of age she's already been named on just about every 'Sound of 2010' list going, notably the BBC's and The Times'. Now the rest of the general public gets to hear her brand of pop-punk with the release of debut single 'Number One Enemy', which features recent chart-topping act Chipmunk.
Now, it's great for her that she's been able to attract a number one scoring artist but, for me, his segment completely spoils the track. Firsly, it's completely out of tone with the rest of the song, which is a very radio friendly and infectious blend of spunky power pop, rock. Secondly, I believe that music, like theatre should have a 'Fourth Wall' and that we don't need to be reminded of who's done the track whilst we're still listening to it. It's one of the reasons that I'm not too fond of rap and hip hop, too many egos, though at least most of them have had enough success to have earned the right to big themselves up.
And it's a shame because, like I said, it's otherwise a great little song. However this collaboration will get her more recognition and it's likely to score high in the charts. Here's hoping that her next offering will keep the same standard...just without the chipmunk.
