VV Brown

To some VV Brown is 25 and has been playing on the piano since she was 5. In her music is a very old soul and yet she can make this the most memorable summer yet with her song Shark in the Water.

In the tradition of Amy Winehouse, Duffy and Adele comes a Brittish model who can possibly handle fame and fortune with grace. Her music is full of quirky old school in her debut CD Traveling like the light. You'll find old do-wop and girl group style from the 60's mixed with her vibrant tunes. Her style is retro yet finger-popping jive with a twist of modern themes. You'll find old school R&B with her Quick Fix while Shark in the water is more main stream, but so catchy that it has to be my number one song this summer.

She certainly delivers in Crying Blood and Leave, as well. If you are looking for a chance to get away from Rianna and Laddy Gaga sagas this summer...well, you can turn over a new leave with V.V. Brown, The tall, gorgeous, retro-styled black Londoner who's full of talent. She's more than just a puffy hairdo.

I first heard her Shark in the Water when I was watching Degrassi's new plug for The Boiling Point sessions for summer.
