Add Date: January 26

Artist: V.V. Brown

Album: Travelling like the Light

Label: Capitol

Genre: Pop

Comments: From the promoter:
"To call V.V. Brown a genre-bender is both the understatement of the year, and also somewhat off the point-- because Brown's subtle use of vintage rock and soul rhythms and grooves is so organically and expressively unified with her melodies, lyrics and vocal dynamics that she becomes and object lesson in appreciating music for its own sake, as a timeless joy, free of labels or categories."

V.V. Brown sounds like a star and there's no doubt in my mind that she's going to be all over the radio soon (if she isn't already). She's got a big glamorous voice and that irresistible hint of a British accent which certainly lends itself to what The Sun called her "perfect pop cocktail." Kate Nash meets The Ting Tings and has a retro party with Santogold. Start with "Shark in the Water" or "Everybody."
