Meet V.V. Brown. We’ve been watching this singer/songwriter/model for a few months now and thought it was due time to do a spotlight on her. The U.K. based V.V. has been performing throughout festivals and tours all over Europe, promoting her debut album, Traveling Like the Light, (currently available in the U.K.)
Describing her sound as “musical mashed potatoes”, she draws influences from 50s pop and electronica. With the release of her promo single “Crying Blood” she has been making steady waves throughout the music industry. Peep her latest videos for “Shark In The Water” and “Game Over” below and check out her official site for more info.
V.V. BROWN – SHARK IN THE WATER
V.V. BROWN – GAME OVER
Love VV. I’ve been telling Angel to do a post on her for months. Both video are different but cool. Check youtube for more of her music video they are always “out there”.
Can’t wit til she comes to the U.S. to promote.
she is like what Solange is trying to be. I like her better and she can actually sing. LOL!
different. & this is why I love CONCRETELOOP. we get sick of seeing the same damn faces and you guys always switch it up.
UK artists always come with the unique shit and raw talent. US dudes are all about their image and what not instead of just coming with hot ass music
I’m feeling her. You guys should do an artist spotlight on the band “The xx” even though they may be out of your element they are really really good.
Thanks for posting these artists! Damn the UK has all the real singers now
how old is this song!
damn, yall are late
you too #1?
i was telling her to post VV Brown too via comments lol
I’M SOO HAPPY SHE’S FINALLY GOT A CL SPOTLIGHT.
yipeeeeeee
GOOOO VV BROWN!!!!
@ 7. Yeah “Shark in The Water” is from earlier this year, but that’s why I also posted her latest song/video below (which was released last month). It’s an artist spotlight, not a ‘new music’ post.
I love VV
Gotta love all the raw talent coming from the UK.
knew all of those plastic Americans would getting boring after a while
yea i know larissa..they are kinda late
but she’s just beginning her official launch to the US this year
and set to release ‘travelling by light’ in 2010 in the US.
So on the US side of things CL isn’t too late…but yea these songs are mad old.
Game Over video made me love the song even more.
love her charisma!
Lol Angel told you!
I love VV I got her album as soon as it was released, she has amazing talent and such a unique sound. Like so many UK artists, I’m so proud that we’re doing our own thing now and not trying to be like US artists.
Shes Dope tryna find her album online now
it’s new to me and I love her. Thanx for posting Angel!
This is so cool.I give major props to Concrete Loop for shining the spotlight on so many new artists,new talent can only make the music industry better because variety is the spice of life !
Shes cool. I love her voice. I remember seeing her picture somewhere that hairstyle sticks out i cant recall where though! When does her album drop in the US?
I dont get why this site post on good music like this every now and then but post about alot of wack so called “celebs” every minute then had the nerve to put “selling out is the new keeping it real” or something like that as their background. Yeah cause lames like CL keep posting about fake “celebs” making them more and more popular.
There are so many talented people out there and all they need is a little luv and exposure.I`m luvin it ! Keep it coming Angel !
i completely agree with #4. i love VV Brown, shark in the water has been my tune from day! although i hate that massive roll she has on her forehead, pisses me off even if its her ‘trademark’
Great voice.
IGNORE THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ANGEL THIS IS A GREAT WEBSITE AND IT IS ONLY GETTING BETTER IF CONCRETE LOOP WASN`T ANY GOOD WHY DO THE HATERZ AND NITPICKERZ KEEP COMING ON HERE !
This is different but l like it…mashed potatoes works for her! I’m definitely gonna look more into her music. Go UK!
It’s funny how vastly different both videos are. I respect her versatility (and really I like the music), but I don’t like it when an artist tries too hard to be diff. That’s how you lose yourself in the music industry…you can still be yourself yet switch it up (like my girl Amerie). Overalll I wish V.V Brown success
Awww shes pretty. LOVE her voice, and her diversity.
OMG GOO VV!!!!
UK stand up!
my brothers are in her bad (bass and drums) look out when they hit us this fall!
xx
Angel you should do a post on the Noisettes their a group from the UK they’re hot!!!
Listening to her voice reminds me of my girl JAZMINE SULLIVAN…..aww I miss my Jazzy
be glad to hear some new stuff from her….
VV BROWN, LEONA LEWIS, ADELE, AMY WINEHOUSE, ESTELLE, ALEXANDRA BURKE! REAL UK TALENT
THERE ARE MORE AMAZING TALENTS FROM THE UK ON ITS WAY! TRUST ME!
MEANTIME, YOU CAN CHECK OUT PIXIE LOTT!
she is gorgeous and i love the second video
just what the world needs…another weirdo..doesnt everyone realize that the more you try to be different..the more ur just like everyone else?
..smh.
Shes not a weirdo, but CL should have covered her months ago VV has been the game for a while now
@ nicole
u kno dem ones! pixie lott is amazing, so are all the ova ones u listed
UK gyals are doing it big!
@ nothing but love
i agree! noisettes are also rili good
UK artists are doing very well this year. a lot of them are a breath of fresh air!
‘Shark in the Water’ is a tuuunnnnneeeee!!!!
oh how can i 4get La Roux?!
they’re my fav!!
this is what i dont get with folks on this blog.
we’re all screaming for some breath of new talent and each time one comes along, what do we do…ignore them and keep hating hard on the existing ones.
it makes no sense.
this sort of talent should not be underestimated or overlooked. VV Brown is the definition of talent: her music is so diversified and lacks the over-used autotune! (thank goodness)
i wish her nothing but success. it’ll be good to see someone like her everyday.
i’ve had enough of the same ole tasless crap being put out
My Creator! I love her! Inspiration to step out of the box…Makes me want to travel the world…There’s so much more to life than American culture…! I dig this post!
*tasteless
Ive been on the shark song for a minute but i really like game over too. VV Brown can actually sing 2,love it.
Woop, Go VV Brown I saw her at some of the festivals this year and she is good. I wish her much success. I love the CL Spotlight. IThat’s what makes you stand out from all the other inane and vacuous blogs out there. New artists and songs from around the globe.
@ Nicole and Shannelle and Janine, my sentiments exactly. I love Shingai’s voice from the Noisettes. I have had slight obsession with her for some time now. Now we just need the males too. I know people have already gotten on to our ‘Asian sensation’ lol Jay Sean but you got Tinchy Stryder, Dizzee , Sway, Chipmunk, BBK, Donae’o , Natty, Taio , Bashy, Wiley etc. Since Craig David there’s been a long gap in successful male urban music but now they’re coming strong.
London SE7 in the building. Ya dun kno!!!.
She ‘s good . I love her style ,,,, she reminds me of AMERICA’S fashion icon Rih ,.
She ’s good . I love her style ,,,, she reminds me of AMERICA’S fashion icon Rih ,.
**********************************************************************************************
lmfao, girl bye!
why do you have to bring that girl’s name up? why?
can’t VV get some shine? wat is it with these obsessed stans
they should never be mentioned in the same sentence. VV is talented, your god is NOT. ”america’s fashion icon”? lol, please stop the foolishness!
Yay! I was wondering when she’d get some shine
Man! I need to listen to more UK artists. They bringing it real! Any more artists we need to check out from the UK?
my ipod has been overtaken my British pop/ r & b music thank you cl for keeping me up to date and making me realize i do not have to settle for mediocre music! o btw love VV
she is pretty and has a great voice but im just not feelin these songs. i really wanted to tho. she seems like the kind of singer that is actually singing because she loves to and not just for money and fame. maybe she’ll grow on me.
yea i literally wasted a day looking up her music and stuff after i heard the acoustic of “Shark in the Water” on this thing called Black Cab sessions (on vimeo and youtube), u guys should check that out since the acoustic version sounded better to me…and her cover of that King of Leon song is on youtube too…
Really hope everybody in the states embraces her for the talent she is in the coming months!!
LMAO @ #3. I won’t even touch that since someone already did. ANYWAY, I 2nd a spotlight for The Noisette. I love their vibe and think many ppl who read this site would appreciate them too. Not to take away from VV Brown tho; she’s hot too.
Finally..loveee heerrr! killed her all day yesterday!
All the UK people talking about she’s been out forever …WE don’t don’t care..the point is that we finally have access to her*pause*+ her music, which is what she wanted. If she didn’t want to be known in the US she would have stayed in the UK but as you and I both know, everybody is looking for the American Dream(take Rhianna for example)…so shut your arse!
I’m really feelin’ this she also very attractive!
@ MISSISSIPPI SCARLET…..American Dream? more like some American dollars…oh yeah i forgot, the dollar isn’t worth sh*t anymore!
I LIke her style! She reminds me of a clean amy winehouse!
@53 you’re foul for messing my name up like that. and when I said the American dream I didnt mean the money stupid! I meant in terms of fame..and I’m assuming you’re not an economics student because whatever happens to the American dollar affects everybody world wide. it may not affect you the way it affects us it will affect your economy one way or the other. remember your country is also fighting with us in that stupid war in Iraq. the UK and the US make up the UN(united nations) so we are align regardless of how blind and stupid you are.
@ Mississippi Scarlet
STFU WITH YOUR BS. YOUR COMMENTS ARE SO IRRELEVANT ON THIS POST. TAKE YOUR ECONOMICS SOMEWHERE ELSE
@ MISSISSIPPI SCARLET, ok American retard… The United nations is made of of 192 states. Not just US and UK. I’m just gonna assume you’ve never left your State let alone the country. You assumption that EVERYONE is looking for the American dream is stupid, like your mother. And no, i’m not from the UK i’m from Sweden…do you know where that is??? Didn’t think so.
another amy winehouse, jazmine sullivan, estelle, sound-alike
actually my bad, minus jazmine sullivan!!!!!!! thats my girl and her sound, although similar is definitely all her own in how she delivers it
We think Shark is the breakout hit for Ms. VV
