I really like Shark in the Water, and Crying Blood.

[Ninastar]

[MrGaryy]

My fave is Leave! but I like This Charming Man and Crying Blood also.

[M X]

Yeah. I discovered her in December because she was on all the lists as the one's to look out for in 2009 & then in January she performed on the Sunday Night Project.

i Love her.<333

[Spike]

Yeah i'm a fan. I first heard of her through the who to look out for in 2009 lists late last year.

[MrGaryy]

hehe same I dsicovered her through an interview on DS with 'Ones To Watch in 2009' tagged on it. I hope she is successful, we need someone like her around. Though I imagine she will be put against Pixie Lott and Kate Nash when she launches.

[Princess]

Saw one of her vids on The Box earlier,she sounds good.

[MrGaryy]

Decided to make this an official discussion thread for her, i have a feeling she's gonna be big this year!

[xDramatick]

huge on VV atm.
when I saw her, she sang 'Everybody', 'Crying Blood', 'Leave', 'Game Over', 'Bottles', 'L.O.V.E' and after 'Shark In The Water', which was her last song, she did 'Crying Blood (Reggae Remix)' which was SO cool.

finally people are starting to notice her. :lovedup:

grr, luckyy darenn, was she nice?

[xDramatick]

Yeahhh, didn't really say much 'cos there were loads of fans waiting for pics/signings.
I was stupidly like "Your VV Brown!!' and she just laughed and was like 'Yeah, I am' so I asked her for a hug and she said 'Of course' and hugged me, and then I asked her for a picture and she was like 'Of course you can', and then after I took it, I told her the gig was awesome and that I couldn't wait for the album and she said 'Aw thank you, that means a lot'.
:]

[Shaun]

Wouldn't cause you any hurt, I just want you in my arms. I can't help myself. Maybe there's a shark in the water-water. There's something underneath my bed, please believe I said...

[Shaun]

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick...

[Princess]

Coolio Darenn!

When is her album out?? I hate downloading singles usually,if there's going to be an album eventually.

[MrGaryy]

her album 'Travelling Like The Light' is out July 20, so not too far away! :wink:

[Xander]

Apparantley Radio 1 are refusing to put her on there playlist, but Radio 2 are. :sad:

[Shaun]

Good reviews from Q magazine, I think it got 3 out of 5 stars.

:shocked:
well her music is more suited to Radio 2, but I think Radio 1 are missing out something huge by ignoring her.

[MrGaryy]

ooh, it seems she's changed the cover art for her album:

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/thebiggerbrother/B001G6RRBM01_SX420_SCLZZZZZZZ_V2229.jpg

I preferred the original one personally.

[xDramatick]

The original one was much better.

[M X]

I love VV, but I liked the original one better.

[MrGaryy]

Popstar VV Brown has revealed that she is launching her own comic next month.

The singer has collaborated with David Allaine, the director of her 'Crying Blood' music video, on a five-instalment series called The City of Abacus.

"The first instalment's got the same title as my album - Travelling Like The Light - and you'll be able to buy it online when the album comes out," she told DS.

"We're also pushing for a distribution deal so you can buy it when you pick up my album in the store."

The star of The City of Abacus, which Brown describes as "very political - kind of Manga Marxism" - is based on the singer herself.

"The character in the comic is kind of subconsciously me. She's got a hairstyle like me and she's half-human, half-chicken because I have chicken legs," she said.

VV Brown releases debut album Travelling Like The Light on July 20.

DS

sounds cool, I hope it comes with the CD.

[Shaun]

Yay she's following me on twitter :love:

Bit gutted about the Radio 1 stuff, they air so much **** as well.

I really do agree guys, despite radio 1 we can still make shark a sucess, 7000 twitters pre ordering or buying the single.Top 20!? Lets try!36 minutes ago from web

[Shaun]

And she's launched some clothing site?
http://www.vvvintage.com/about

[MrGaryy]

I think its just for one store. She was in April's Vogue <33

[MarkWaldorf]

I was just on her website under last.fm :laugh: When I saw it I was like OMG!! :laugh2:

[MarkWaldorf]

Why have Radio 1 refused to play SitW?

they just don't like appaz. such a pity, this could have been her breakout single.

[MarkWaldorf]

Wtf, how can they? Is it not their job to play music, regardless of personal taste? The chorus is super catchy too..

[MrGaryy]

It's all down to what playlist it makes it on to. A List, B List ect. they just play what they think will be big. I reckon she'll get a lot of Radio 2 plays though, she suits their sound very much.

[MarkWaldorf]

This song is easily number one potential. Pixie Lott could do it, yet SitW is miles better.

[MrGaryy]

ifkr, Pixie can kiss VV's ass. Clearly this type of music is popular atm, like I said before, they're loosing out more than VV is.

[MrGaryy]

album leaked. D:

i listened on YT and loved, but I've preordered the album from itunes so i'll just wait.

[Shaun]

The album's leaked on SIN. Got it and devouring it as we speak.

[MrGaryy]

yeah erm i just said that *files nailz*

[Shaun]

Gary if you filed your nails half as much as you claim to do, your fingers would be red-raw.

[Shaun]

Of the new material I haven't heard before [5 tracks :tongue:] I'm very much loving L-O-V-E and Crazy Amazing.

Only tracks I'm not big on are Refresh Me and Back in Time.

[Shaun]

Shark In The Water is No#21 on the iTunes chart...hopefully that means a top-40 placement.

[MarkWaldorf]

Apparently it's in the top 40 by the 'skin of its teeth'

[MrGaryy]

it got to 38 :(

seriously, it;s a crying shame Radio 1 refuse to playlist, it's amazing. The chorus gives me chills.

[MrGaryy]

SitW has risen and is as of yesterday only just outside the Top 30! will probs be T20 by Sunday!

VV has worked with writers Evan Bogart (Beyonce), Jean Baptiste (Black Eyed Peas), Mr Griffiths (Jem) and writer/producers Bjorn Yttling (of feted Swedish indie rockers Peter Bjorn and John), "because I needed to twist things up a bit," and Ne-Yo collaborator Chuck Harmony, who produced the album’s first single 'Children' featuring Chiddy (of Philadelphia's Chiddy Bang). "The song was written about a generation that has uninspiring aspirations and believes material wealth is what happiness is," VV says, adding that the song feels particularly topical given the summer riots in London. "You have to give people a voice," she says. "Everyone has to be heard, because otherwise they will make themselves heard." 'Children' will be available for sale on all DSPs in the States on September 20th.
