Blame It On The Pop

The least we can say is that VV Brown debut career – just like her personality – has been colorful. Despite an eclectic musical style cut out to succeed in the United Kingdom, the girl with a bouffant hairstyle didn’t make it. But it was far enough from daunting her and she tried to win over the French audience – what she did with merit. Thus, she released her single “Shark in the Water” on January 18^th in France and she did pretty well since it peaked at number 12 on the Digital single chart.  A good sign for the re-release of her album “Travelling like the light” on June 4^th…

VV Brown untypical musical style is clearly an asset in the world of pop. Her retro pop influenced indie rock edge sends us to 60s and its carefreeness for better. It sounds actually like fresh air in a pop universe where electro-pop trend prevails over everything else.

“Shark in the water” is a nice summer anthem with  breezy acoustic strums and Brown’s smoothie voice. It starts just like any Happy-bouncy pop song but the chorus suddenly kicks in and there’s an emotional outburst. The verse “Baby there’s a shark in the water” is actually powerful and breathtaking but still so soft. No word can describe it better than ” brilliant” . A very good way to make indie rock musical style accessible. When listening to that tune, we can really feel British wizardry, the reason why this country should sometimes be worshipped. The atmosphere of the song is always full of smoothness and brings us a breath of fresh air. 

I really hope VV Brown will keep releasing such good songs in the future and continue her career because she’s unique and it would be a shame for her to stop just because of a stupid commercial failure.
