Description
VV BROWN"This will sound familiar: A young British soul singer with a penchant for retro sounds is tipped by the British press as the next big thing. But Brown is a long way removed from the smokey nightclub vibe of Amy Winehouse or the torch songs of Duffy. Just check her debut single 'Crying Blood,' an amped-up doo-wop dance floor anthem, where surf-rock guitars slide around video game bloops and where Brown stomps all over the cut’s big beats with a wallop of spunk. A former session singer and songwriter -- the Pussycat Dolls are among her credits -- Brown is ready to seize the spotlight with a swarm of high-energy pop songs. Need more evidence? Sample 'Everybody,' with its hand-clap groove, teasing piano and no-nonsense vocals. When all is said and done, Brown delivers something her retro U.K. peers have thus far lacked: Just pure, whimsical fun." --LA Times
"The stunningly beautiful Brown is an affable and engaging presence, and her unique blend of retro doo-wop, punky blues and raw soul emotion translates fantastically in concert." --Spinning Platters
