Here at ANCHR, we’re open to any and all roads that lead to new music discovery. This week’s Artist of the Week comes by way of a Peloton class, where she kind of fell into my lap— I was doing a chair pose in a yoga class when the instructor played the track “English Rose” by Connie Constance.

Connie Constance is a British singer-songwriter, and just as her Spotify Bio says, she doesn’t remain cornered into any one genre. For example, the track “British Rose” opens with a warm piano melody and plays out like a ballad. On the contrary, her most-streamed single “Monty Python” features a grooving and steady bass line over a punchy drumbeat that makes you want to dance around your room. My personal favorite “Electric Girl” has that same swelling, upbeat mood that makes me instantly bob my head and tap my foot along to the distorted guitar riffs.

Connie Constance’s artistic streak initially began by studying ballet and musical theater before she eventually started crafting her own tunes. She released her first singles back in 2015 and has released a steady drip on singles ahead of her 2019 debut album entitled English Rose. Most recently, Constance released an EP entitled “Prim & Propa” in 2021, which contains my favorite track “Electric Girl” alongside a handful of others. Constance released this new EP on her own record label called Jump the Fence.

Connie Constance will be supporting the Nova Twins during their upcoming tour. Follow along on Instagram for other touring and music announcements from her.
