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:



I preferred the original one personally.

[xDramatick]

The original one was much better.

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

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

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.

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 ] 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!
