VV Brown’s funky-indie-soul tunes have struck a chord with music fans from every corner of the globe. As she readied her debut LP, Traveling Like The Light (out now in the UK), she released album closer “Shark In The Water” as the album’s official third single. Easily the album’s most accessible track, “Shark In The Water” is undeniably brilliant and instantly memorable. A great addition to anyone’s summer playlist.
Get on this folks!

“Crazy Amazing” isn’t a single, nor do I think it will be (though I do think it ought to be), but it’s another great, great track that works fine in a year-round playlist (I know I’ve been on a summer overkill). Upon first listen, you want to sing along despite not knowing the words. But this song will surely land on your repeat constantly playlist, so it won’t be too much of a problem.

Ummmmmmm…download links? Por favorrrrr?
I’m always looking for new music so I thought I’d give you guys a try. I’ve listened to several of your latest offerings, and with all due respect I have to ask, how old are you guys, ten? I mean, Jesus, this is supposed to be the latest cutting edge stuff? The disco stuff is vapid and unimaginative even for disco, and the catchiest part of that last W Brown cut is a total rip-off of Heart and Soul. Why aren’t you people out there looking for the new Dylan, the new Hendryx, the new Otis redding, Aretha, Stones, Beatles? I’d even settle for the new Monkees. Your taste is lame and your website is irrelevant.
@William McNulty sorry if the taste of this blog is not like urs, but for you I have a simple answer: search for a blog compatible with you, and above all, respect others people taste.
I love this blog, and I know that nobody here is searching for the new-something, that’s not what this blog was meant for.
